Be always faithful
We always swirl in the turmoil whether to embrace faith or faithlessness. A lot of debates arise to establish this aspect of life. When you cannot decide which way you should move on the eve of any constraint, you must surrender yourself simply to divinity. Not necessarily, you will get an instant solution, but once you start believing the fact that God does not leave in difficulties, you will become courageous. No sooner, your faith gets shaken, you will scare of your own shadow and in that situation, everything will look like a dark cloud of a rainy day. The psychological research recently carried out at Princeton; New Jersey indicates that people who rely on the aspect of faith in their daily lives, they experience a balanced emotion and countenance under all circumstances.
Faith provides us enough courage to face all odd situations, adversities, natural calamities and extreme danger boldly. But in case you lose faith and think of an adverse outcome, no matter how much you try, failure is imminent. If you continue to believe in faith, your positivity for the present as well as for the future will be brighter.
The medical science proves that people who pass through traumatic experiences recover fast if they rely on faith. In fact, the individuals who have this quality achieve much higher growth than the one who lacks it. Some people argue that faith has let them down as they are not able to get the protection they desire to have. Many patients suffering from diseases which cause severe pain in their organs and body can tolerate the same based on their faith, particularly on divinity. Many of us get less motivated to remain faithful at the initial stage of any impediments, constraints, painful moments and extreme health hazards.
Once it becomes a routine and somehow they become prone to accept the difficulties, they take on a different path and find something new. It may not be the cause for many, but it happens. During this newly acquired phase in life, they feel completely devoted to their capabilities and fight with courage, of course remembering God whenever they face any odd consequence. Many religious gurus have preached this fact that if you surrender wholeheartedly to the divine, you rest assured; the outcome will be very positive from a spiritual point of view. You will observe that there is a positivity arisen in your daily life.
Mother Auroville also supported the said views. Once you surrender your soul to the highest power, you will receive the blessings which will remove your anxieties and despondency. The more you show belief in this power, the more the positive outcome will be visible. Since we are mostly in the ignorance level and not able to utilize this authority, we fail to identify the real purpose of life. We even do not know our power which is unlimited, but mostly unutilized. The reason is that we seldom search for the same. We do not appreciate this fact. The Mother used to teach that the greatest crises which we all face can be test cases for us to our self-growth, progress, development, prosperity and manifestation of truth if we are steadfast on our capabilities.
The Mother highlighted various methods of daily routines through which we can acquire faith more and preserve the same. First, you pray for more faith, and you will get it. You can repeat the following hymns several times in a day, “God is the source of my supply. That supply is my supply now. His riches flow to me freely, copiously and abundantly. I am forever conscious of my real worth, and I give of my talents freely. I have full faith in God.” Second, you need to have a childlike attitude that means whatever you tell; you must have to follow the same. Your surrender to the divinity will be like Eklavya of Mahabharat, and when you show this type of faith, you will receive help as needed. Third, the majority of people have a deep conflict between religion, and their mind is always trying to ascertain the fact between faith and faithlessness. But one should not debate on this issue. We should allow ourselves to be open so that divine grace can enter. She also suggested for another method to build faith not to follow any faith, which is anti-divine. In this approach, you can eliminate the formations or already formed negative feeling in your mind.
Apart from these methods, we must control ego, which is detrimental to our growth mainly related to spiritual . Our life journey is a long one, and we cultivate gratitude for whatever grace received by us and utilize the same to have a positive mindset all the time. Our faith must be as hard as like a rock, as limitless as like a sky and as spread as like an ocean. Then nothing can stop you from realizing the truth and keep in touch with the higher spirit forever.
