RIGHT FAITH.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

'ZERO' AND 'INFINITY'

Are ever away from my 

'RATIONAL FINITE'

Mind with

'INFINITE'

'Meaning

ENDLESS'

And

'ZERO'

Meaning 

'NOTHING'..

To reach those

'ENTIRE'

As well as

'NOTHING',

I need to take

'INFINTE DEFINITE'

Steps closer wherein my 

'RATIONALITY'

Can't do that and there my 

'FAITH'

Alone can talk about it..

Thus to say, 

'FAITH'

Is next to me

When I believe strongly in something 

And again

'FAITH'

Is next to me 

when I do not believe therein

As my non believing a particular phenomenon is indirectly my 

'FAITH'

Alone, therein!

A Great Saint used to give a number of Discourses on Godhood, Faith and Ethics of life and the Saint was truly a Great Personality of the Era in the eyes of many.. 

One of His disciples used to

Attend regularly the Master's Discourses and Prayers,

Work in the Ashram in his allotted time and

Do equally a social service.. 

In his personal life too, he adapted the concept of simple living and high thinking!

But all the time the disciple had one doubt in him which he could never get rid of. He tried his best but the doubt had never vanished from his mind. In fact it used to be a little vicious at times and wild thinking used to be the outcome of that.. 

One of the days, there was a Discourse by the Saint, 

A poor lady who had no money but great faith in her Master was finding difficult to cross a river daily in a boat with her meager resources to visit Him on the other bank. One day she listened to the Great man saying how Lord Krishna’s father crossed the river with his full faith established in God. Inspired by that, she decided to cross the river herself with faith in God and the next day she did it! 

“That way 

'DEEP FAITH'

Works in us!” 

Saying thus, the Master concluded his speech.. 

The disciple could no longer hold himself.. That day itself he met the Master, paid his salutations and said, 

“Reverend Sir, please forgive me for harboring the evil thoughts in me. I am unable to believe what all you say and doubt never leaves me in respect of 

Everything you preach, 

What you do and 

Your own living style.. 

I am totally lost!”

The Saint looked straight into his eyes and said, 

“My dear! Your mind doesn't allow belief without solid proof, a great quality I am seeing in you.. 

Please go ahead with your enquiry and questioning thus for ever and never get into a belief and become static! 

Whatever be our perceptions of life, we both have to continue that enquiry together Viz.,

'QUESTIONING EVERYTHING ENDLESS!'

And thus, let the enquiry spirit burn in us forever.. That way, you are truly established in

'RIGHT FAITH'

Required in life which is entirely free from

'BLIND BELIEF!'”
