hmm..I agree agree. But I have a few questions..i am confused. doesn't trust..faith.. depend on what and who are you talking about?
umm..at the same time doesn't trust, faith come from within? There are times when you trust a complete stranger so don't even know how reliable that person is, yet you trust him...have faith in him. For example Trusting a doctor..a stranger, in case of an emergency. Trusting a cabbie..a stranger that he will take us safely to the right destination. Trusting a priest that he will chant the right mantra, perform the right rituals at an important family puja. Or is this different? Umm..is this gut...intuition??
and I just want to share a quote that I read in a book. I really like it. Book title: God explained in a taxi ride. Author: Paul Arden.
"How can you have blind faith in something for which there is not a scrap of evidence? Well, the answer is you can't. If you could prove it, it wouldn't be faith. You can only have faith in what you don't know. That's what faith is."
Wow..thats something new for me..I always thought, Faith/Trust and belief were synonyms!! But ab samjh mein aaya ki,agar reliablility hoti hai,to bharosa hota hai..and Bharosa hota hai to Vishwaas!!
couldn't agree more :)
