Faith….

I wonder what Faith is…..Or is Faith just wondering or searching for something that could lit up the darkest of caves or hour….Is Faith something that can change your fate??? Or is it something that provides the warmth of a mothers’ hug in a cold night…..Or the security of the love one when you see them…..Or the entire world in those twinkling eyes….

“Generally Faith is defined as a confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing”. But we all know it is much more complex, and yet more simple at the same time than that definition. So…..basically its complex, as it’s more based on ability than a proof. 

I define Faith….as being carried by a tow truck with a possible hope of an expected result. Let me take some examples to explain that. When we take an auto rickshaw…. we have faith that this will take us to our destination; When we work, we have faith that this will enable us to earn food and shelter for our family; When we exercise we have faith that this will enable a much healthier lifestyle.; A child has faith in his mother to provide security and care; and above all…. we all in this room….. Have Faith in the teaching of god… for it to guide us to true and complete happiness.

But then what is the teaching of God??? I guess something that comes from Heart…that possibly full conviction and free from forms of anger….As there is a old saying in my part of the world “Your Heart is on the left…..but is Always Right”…

To a certain extent, its forces me to think that even in the absence of any visibility of the end result or goal…..its faith that acts as a laltain to guide the way in the darkest hour. So its Faith that acts as a laltain or light to guide us in the darkest hour of our daily lives…….. or that stick that helps all us ….aged or tired men to walk.

But mind it; Faith in its self is like having a boat in a dessert. To embark the journey of life we need elements of practice, perseverance, effort, and much more. But yes we can comfortably opine that if life is like a road and we as a car then Faith is the spark plug. A very small yet a fundamental part of an individual’s that helps him/her to embark the journey that we call as Life.

Have a “Faithful” Week!!!
