According to different religious teachings faith i“Follow the path of the yoga of meditation. Be steadfastly devoted to God, and with a concentrated mind dwell at all times in the thought of God.
“Learn to look with an equal eye upon all beings; shun all hatred and enmity; and with a cheerful heart surrender yourself to the Feet of the Lord.
“Be content, no matter what your lot;
“In eating, drinking and recreation, be moderate;
“Walk in the paths of solitude; seek peace within your heart;
“Be a friend to all, make no complaint of their faults,
“With sympathy minister to their suffering; Make ready thus to receive that knowledge which reveals the Truth.
“So shall you free yourself from the bondage of earthly consciousness;
“Then shall you realize the Self [Brahman].”
“Srimad Bhagavatam: The Wisdom of God” as imparted by Sage Kapila to his mother Devahūti—Chapter V “The Cause of Misery and the Way to Freedom.” religions according to their needs, faith is a form of focusing the mind without applying reality and reasonability of the contemporary laws or principles. In short faith is nothing but a link between man and God. It is like a electric generator kept far away but linked with your house. Just by pressing a small switch it gives light in your room. God is above the total power of the universe. This power centre is so close to each one of us. If it is realised that this is within ourselves, that very moment we are linked with the Almighty One. And with little effort it gives light into our lives. When reached this state we first understand the hollowness of many things and the fullness of many other things. Once we recognise these two, our faith becomes faith alone, without any ego filled thirst. Once we become faithful to the Supreme One we get sanctified and become peaceful.
