Faith is blind

More often than not, the highest states of bliss that occur in anyone's life can never be expressed by mere words. And yet, many things that are beyond words happen all the time around us. All that we can think is that impossible can be achieved through innocent faith. With a heart that is pure enough to believe, we begin to think that whatever transpires in the deepest realms of our consciousness will become a reality. The forever vacillating mind seeks proof for the intellect. In this very process, an attitude of surrender loses it way.

The heart that overflows with love cannot doubt but can only believe. Doubt is the child of fear and faith, of love. Where there is love, there can be no doubt or complaints. Consider this - A father rushing his child who is fighting for his life has blind faith in the doctor. Even if any medicine is administered, he doesn't check its constituents before the doctor injects them into the body of the child. This too is blind faith. The subtle, wicked tendencies of the mind encourage us to deny the very existence of God. But, when ego is taken out of the equation, we regain purity of mind and its natural innocence. All faith is blind. Nevertheless, the faith that arises from surrender removes the darkness of ignorance. Love's divine effulgence dispels the shadow cast by doubts.
