warfare

‘I will cause you to ride the summits of the earth”, says the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament. This is about the source of existence, which is about love not only towards the fellow-traveler, the human being next to you, but also love for just this source. About Whom Islam says “Hij is ons nader dan de halsslagader.”

Who does not seek in his live will become a stranger to himself, says Beurskens. It is the cause of much of the suffering in the western world of our time. But faith teaches: nobody ever is lost. Whoever puts himself on the road of sincere seeking, at that very moment he is saved. It will be a struggle, but then, it should be. “Life is warfare” says Siddharta Gautama, the Buddha.
