"But God can do anything," said Molli confidently. "He has a way to forgive us. Jesus said, `I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.' Jesus is the way. Because he died for our sins, God can forgive us!"

That was dogmatism I refused to accept. I had always insisted that Hinduism was the only way, but now I argued that the Gita said all roads lead to the same place and that whatever a man does (even without any religion), karma and reincarnation will eventually bring him to Krishna. But was it any less dogmatic to say that Krishna was the only destination than to say that Christ was the only way? And was Krishna what I really sought? No. In my heart I knew that he was not the true God whom I wanted to know. But I was too proud to admit that and continued to argue in favor of the many contradictory concepts of Hinduism, trying to save face. In spite of her patience-or perhaps because of it-I lost my temper and gestured angrily, raising my voice, determined not to be defeated by this girl. But she was so calm, and seemed so confident of her relationship to God, that at last I had to find out her secret.

"What makes you so happy?" I asked her suddenly. "You must have been doing a lot of meditation!"

"I used to," Molli replied, "but not anymore. Since I received Jesus into my life he's changed me completely. He has given me a peace and joy that I never knew before." Then she looked me straight in the eye and said, "Rabi, you don't seem very happy. Are you?"

I glanced quickly around. Dishes were rattling in the kitchen. I lowered my voice. "I'm not happy. I wish I had your joy." Was I saying this? I had thought I could never share this secret even with Ma-and here I was sharing it with a stranger. And how could she help me? It was more than joy that I wanted. I had to know God!

"Joy isn't something you can produce," said Molli. "If there isn't a genuine reason for it, then it isn't real and won't last. My joy is because my sins are forgiven, and that has changed my whole life. Peace and joy come from Christ, through really knowing him."
