POWER OF FAITH

     Since your heart is pure, you see your own reflection in others. Yes, it is faith that conquers everything. Faith is the only way. Without faith nothing can be achieved. A man of faith never falters. He marches on undaunted, whatever the obstacles he may have to face. It was because of his steadfast faith, Ekalavya was able to master the art of archery to perfection, despite the refusal of the Guru to have anything to do with him. By his irresistible faith he was able to breath life and able to convert the mud image of his Guru into his living embodiment, and achieve Supreme Mastery in Archery.

     Faith is the basis of our very existence. Man is nothing but a bundle of faith. Without faith we cannot live even for a moment. Faith is an essential element in almost all human dealings. The very progress of human civilization depends on faith. It is a continual ascent from one act of faith to another. It is the intensity of faith that is at the root of all great human achievements. Faith can work wonders. Nothing is impossible for a man of faith, for true faith is an incessant prayer of the heart, with hope and cheer, that all will be well.

     True faith ultimately leads us to true knowledge. Faith revealed is knowledge. Without an element of knowledge there cannot be any faith. Even in its most rudimentary form, faith always carries with it a subtle element of knowledge in its background. There cannot be pure knowledge without the stabilizing presence of faith. So, faith and knowledge are the obverse and reverse of the same Supreme Coin, Truth. Knowledge crystallizes into faith, while faith evolves into knowledge. In fact true knowledge is absolute faith.

     Who can, therefore, adequately describe the Supreme Splendour of Faith; for it is not said that Lord God Himself is an ocean of INFINITE FAITH. All glory to the Lord for having instilled such faith , His highest gift to man.
