Abhinavagupta on Doubt

Shambhavi riffs on provocative words. . . a free audio post from Kindred 108. Future audio posts are available to paid subscribers.

Hey Friend,

I’m experimentin’. Here’s a new kind of post on Kindred 108. I’ll be scouring my library of quotes, collected over more than twenty-five years, to bring you the most juicy, provocative, and impactful. Then I’ll talk about the words for a short spell. Let me know what you think in the comments!
Love, Shambhavi

Here’s the quote:

There are two possibilities: either to avoid doubt, to reject it, and to fall into a sterile vacuum, and the doubt is not overcome; or, better, bring doubts to the surface to make it clearer and to make it recall in itself where it will disappear. This second path leads, not to the void, but to Paramashiva, the absolute.

~ Shri Abhinavagupta

Listen to me riff on this!
