When your faith and devotion remain intact and unshaken during those turbulent times, then you do not feel the unpleasantness of the situations. Faith becomes your anchor during these difficult times and keeps you steady.
Truth never fails or gets shaken. True faith remains unshaken regardless of everything that happens. That which shakes is just some small belief at a very superficial level. It is your own expectations and desires which shake you.
Faith is not that which can come to an end, this is the first thing. Every time your faith shakes, your devotion will be renewed from within once again.
Without faith, the vehicle of life cannot proceed. Faith is the petrol of the vehicle of life. Even the petrol called faith has started becoming too expensive. If you don’t let it become expensive, the vehicle of life will move further and reach its destination.
First acknowledge that you are weak and then know that God is the strength of the weak. When you have this strong faith, then you will not feel weak and helpless.
Look at your shortcomings and surrender them with faith, ‘These are my shortcomings, I am offering them to you.’ If you have difficulty in surrendering, then just know that there is someone who will rid me of these shortcomings.
Look at your shortcomings and understand that at least someone is there to remove them. Have faith that there is someone who will remove your shortcomings. Just by having this faith things can move forward.
Without faith, the vehicle of life cannot proceed. Faith is the petrol of the vehicle of life. Even the petrol called faith has started becoming too expensive! If you don’t let it become expensive, the vehicle of life will move further and reach its destination.
You cannot separate love and faith. You can’t say, "I have faith in you but I don’t love you", and you also can’t say, "I love you but I don’t have faith in you". Love and faith are two sides of the same coin.
There is a higher power that loves you dearly, and it will never let you down. This faith will pull you through any tough period.
Whenever your mind goes topsy-turvy, or if your emotions are going up and down, when your inner faith is shaken, then at such times the Sangha will carry you forward. It will help you move through the situations.
Without having faith in oneself you cannot move a step forward in life. Second, without having faith in society, you will not be able to live and co-exist in society. And thirdly, without having faith in the Divine, life can never be complete. It is important to have all these three kinds of faith in life.
You must have complete faith in yourself. When you have total faith on yourself and firmly believe that 'everything good shall happen to me', then the same starts happening in life.
Learn from mistakes made and go ahead with the conviction that God is on my side and will not allow me to fail. Have this faith.
Have faith that there is success behind every failure, that there is a reason for every difficulty that comes your way; that these are steps for you to climb up and reach higher. Move ahead with this type of strength and conviction.
Wherever there are people, politics is bound to be there. Don’t shy away from it and don’t worry about it, you be rock solid. What appears to be politics will find its own way out. Have faith that only the best will happen to you and you will be able to do only the best! Keep these aphorisms with you like a treasure.
Move on in life with the confidence that you will be given everything in abundance, and that you are being protected by the Divine. There is a divine armor around you that is protecting you; you have nothing to worry about. Know this and keep walking ahead in life with satisfaction, confidence, joy, patience, fullness and faith.
