Faith
O human, know the secret of the conviction of faith. In life, faith is everything. Faith is not the name of blind devotion. To ensure that everything around us is auspicious we have to become deserving. Only by following the path of truth, love and karm, can we become worthy for God’s grace. Even after maintaining faith, some people have complaints and objections regarding the divine will. Questions like ‘why did this happen’ start raising their head. This is because having left everything to faith and their belief in God; they start living according to their self-chosen path. The ‘doer-ship’ of their conviction, that God has to keep everything ‘in order’ (for their good) because of their faith in him, takes prominence.
Human beings do not have the wisdom to realise the fact that we have to be open and deserving of God’s grace when it descends. Because of ignorance caused by falsehood, pride, hypocrisy, selfishness, attachment, egos etc the doors of our (mann) heart are closed towards divine grace. Open these, and see that not only divine grace but divinity itself will flow towards you.
If in a jungle a tiger comes in front of you, and you start chanting a mantra that is supposed to dispel fear and enemies, or alternately, tell the beast to wait, so that you may go to a temple or consult an astrologer about which planet is to be pleased to overcome the situation, what would happen?
In such a condition, only three kinds of ‘yog’ (union with the divine consciousness) will be of use. Firstly, if in your eyes there is such pure, complete (poorn), unconditional love, then even a ferocious animal will give way to such a saintly person.
Secondly, if with full awareness, dhyan, wisdom and spontaneity, the situation is analysed, initiating right conduct at the right time, the dynamics of the situation can be changed to save oneself. This is possible only because of the incessant dedication (sadhana) of a ‘karm yogi’ towards karm (right conduct at the right time).
Thirdly and finally, there is the force of truth. To face truth with absolute fearlessness - knowing the fact that the truth of the moment demands you to become food for an animal, and that it has divine sanction and yet remain unaffected by it. Such complete fearlessness will influence your body language, leading to a miracle. This is the power of ‘satya yog’.
Even if the slightest doubt enters your mind that ‘O God, in spite of having complete faith in you, you are showing me this day,’ then IT (FAITH) WILL NOT WORK.
So, O human, faith is definitely the ultimate refuge, but, it is only due to the amalgamation of truth, love and karm, that divine grace descends.
Faith is the pride and beauty of humanity, the source of energy and only through truth, love and karm, can the human body become the medium of its descent. This is the greatness of humanity. Human life is a precious gift, so -
Keep open always, the doors of thy heart,
Open all its locks
With the key of FAITH, TRUTH, LOVE AND KARM
This is the essence of life

When a seed is sown, the Earth is tilled, made soft and primed so that it can get fresh air, manure and water. Similarly, through the penance of dhyan, the subconscious is prepared to receive the kernel of positive sankalps (pledges).Penance here is sadhna of dhyan...not atonement or any such thing...English has a paucity of words to express sadhna and tapasya, to highlight their subtleties.
