Hello All.
I'm having a hard time understanding the word Faith.
I was having a conversation the other day in which someone tried explaining to me what Faith was. I don't think I understand it. As I see it now, Faith is like a firm belief. The person told me it was a link or a connection.
I'm not sure if we will all have the same understanding of this word but I noticed even in the Bowl of Saki the word Faith is dropped on numerous pages.
What Is Faith ?
Hebrews 11 ►
King James Bible: Purple Letter Edition
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 Shraddha: Faith or divine devotion. Shraddha is the natural inclination within every being that is attracted to its Source, Spirit. This inherence of attraction, as will be seen in the succeeding verses, is dull and inert in the tamasic individual; active but with self-interest in the rajasic person; and fully expressive as devotion and faith in the preserving sattvic yogi. He who is inbued with shraddha is consistent in the highest form of spiritual endeavor because he is motivated by intense spiritual longing that has basis in intuitive conviction of faith. ~ Paramahansa Yogananda (God Talks to Arjuna; The Bhagavad Gita)Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda
Day 01 – October 18th: “I wish I had faith, Master.”
“Faith has to be cultivated, or rather uncovered within us. It is there but has to be brought out. If you watch your life you will see the innumerable ways in which God works through it; your faith will thus be strengthened."
Yogananda, Paramahansa. Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda (pp. 13-14). Self-Realization Fellowship. Kindle Edition.
