Faith

[Jitendra Hy-do-u-no-us?]

'What is faith mean in the context of Guru's words thru Brotherji...  seems that was striking to the core of one of the questions I've heard contemplated for most of the years we've been incarnate...  (regarding prosperity?  destiny?)
 
faith ?   
 
(this is not to be answered in words... each of us will seek the answer in the stream of Pranava Sabda... that is best).'

Namaste2all recently posed this statement to me. Is not faith trust in God's help and guidance at all times? Faith is the proof of things unseen the knowledge of things unknown. Seeking the answers and faith's manifestation in the great stream of om...Yes?

I agree with you as long as we do not use are present circumstances as an excuse for not taking action when action is required. "I will reason act and will; but guide thou my reason action and will to the right thing I should do in everything I do"~Paramahansa Yogananda It is certain that change is part of life in this material existence. While we know we r where we need to b for our growing; Our place in life and our circumstances r constantly undergoing change. It is our ability to adapt to these changes that determines r evolution and spiritual awareness and sensitivity to others in the divine plan as it unfolds.

Ecclesiastes 3
A Time for Everything
 1 There is a time for everything,
   and a season for every activity under the heavens:

 2 a time to be born and a time to die,
   a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
   a time to tear down and a time to build,
 4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
   a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
   a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
 6 a time to search and a time to give up,
   a time to keep and a time to throw away,
 7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
   a time to be silent and a time to speak,
 8 a time to love and a time to hate,
   a time for war and a time for peace.

Pranams to Into Blue; It was such a treat to see a slew of entries from you this morning. We have missed your presence here and elsewhere..... i started this topic because i feel as though i am going thru a time that is important in strengthening faith. It does not seem to be a real tangible quality. Yet it is important to our spiritual evolution. Without it, there is a lack of conviction that God is taking us where we need to go for our highest welfare. Sometimes i just wish i could gain a larger perspective on life's events so that i can see the big picture knowing that it is all unfolding as it should and having the ability to know my small part in it all.

hi Steve,

I think you are right about faith not being a tangible quality. It isn't really something we can get a grasp on, we just have to believe.

Sometimes I think it might be too overwhelming if we could see the big picture, so perhaps that is why life appears in small glimpses ? I do believe in the idea of Divine timing and things happening for a reason, at least most of the time. Then there are times when I doubt, just about everything... this can be helpful too, these times of doubt, because it gives us the opportunity to look at things in a different way. Perhaps there is something that needs changing, a new way of doing something ? Maybe it is a time to sit and take notice of what it is we are seeking, wanting, hoping will happen. Then we take steps to try and make this happen.

hugs,
Into Blue

i doubt that many among us have to be to concerned with seeing the whole picture in our present state of evolution. Yet we all have glimpses of how actions by others will result in a probable fate. Would it not be beneficial to us if we could see the results of actions that we are putting in motion now for ourselves? If we had more clarity with regards to our actions and future events perhaps we could cauterize them with wisdom and not have to experience the brunt of the karma associated with those actions.

What we are seeking, wanting and hoping will happen is not always something that manifests. How we think it will occur and the satisfaction associated with these events is not always forthcoming. So it may be best at times to look at things in a different way to spare ourselves chasing after the wind. 'Sitting and taking notice' as you describe it may render important intuitional messages that can change our course of actions and save us a lot of troubles later. Doubt is often a sign that we have taken a wrong course of action or do not have a understanding of the meaning of events.

Sometimes faith and trust is manifests as patience with delays that often give us insights into the motivations of others and the misconceptions of our own attitudes. Other times the delays and procrastination of others gives us a barometer reading of their sincerity and love for us. Faith in how things are playing out also includes these ideas. It is something that we realize and help each other understand on our spiritual journey onward and upward.

Yoshi; yesterday i never thought that what i dreamed would happen tomorrow would be with me today! If it is what you dreamed about you are psychic! Flying Squirrel; somebody has a lot of explaining to do and that is all because of yesterday! This factor of time we r experiencing; is it not a bit of a fabric of the imagination anyhow? Past, present and future all part of the present. It is in this consciousness that we r all beginning to witness.

Hey Jitendra ! 

Lost me in this conversation ~

then again, think I am not supposed to be here 

taking a flying leap elsewhere 

going to check out saying .... Time flies when you are having fun
