How’s Your Faith? by Krishna
“When a person is devoted to something with complete faith, I unify his faith in that. Then, when his faith his completely unified, he gains the object of his devotion.” ~ Krishna from The Bhagavad Gita
How’s your faith?
When your faith reaches a level of knowing, of total expectation, magical things happen.
Thoreau tells us: “If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary: new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with license of a higher order of beings.”
And Eric Butterworth tells us (in his great book, Spiritual Economics): “Faith is expectancy. You do not receive what you want; you do not receive what you pray for, not even what you say you have faith in. You will always receive what you actually expect.”
So... (Echo) How’s your faith?
Are you wavering in your intentions/desires or are you devoted with complete faith to the object of your desire?
Know that “When a person is devoted to something with complete faith, I unify his faith in that. Then, when his faith his completely unified, he gains the object of his devotion.”
