The Skeptic and the Saint in One Family: Chapter 25

The eldest son watches from the doorway as his family unravels into mysticism before his practical eyes. His younger brother speaks of samadhi and saints, his father becomes a spiritual seeker, and Ananta,successful, rational, skeptical,stands rooted in the reasonable world, demanding evidence he can touch and verify. But skepticism itself is a form of seeking. Ananta won't believe until he witnesses real proof, real demonstrations, real miracles with his own eyes. And when they finally come, something gives way in him,the rigid boundaries between rational mind and spiritual knowing begin to dissolve completely.
