"Faith can move mountains". This is a well-known age old saying.
What does FAITH means ?
1. Does it promise achievement of impossible things without any action ?
2. Is it achieving impossible things with action but wthout undergoing much of the difficulty ?
I fear, most of us may chose option 1, but in reality its option 2.
In day-2-day life, we see elder people adivising a troubled one, with soothing words such as - "Dear, have FAITH, all is well, everything will be for your own good".
What does this advice signify ?
I feel it simply means - "Dear, Have FAITH in almighty, so that you will be given enough strength to face the difficulties. Take them as divine gifts and consider them for your own good".
I would like to drive forth a vital fact that having FAITH doesn't mean that some miracle happens in the event of difficulties and relieve us of the trouble in undergoing them. "It just means that you will be showered with enough strength to face the difficulties. With this Strength as you overcome them, your innerself will be strengthened. Now, in future even if you have to encounter such problems again, you doesn't step back as before but will step-ahead to accept it with confidence. After all, now you know, you can overcome and it will not last forever. "
Dear Friend, let us not be in a false impression that FAITH means a miracle. Remember, miracle doesn't happen in your life, unless you strive for it.FAITH is an abstraction of proverb "GOD helps who help themselves".
