ADVICE TO A FRIEND --- FAITH

Faith

Faith is unreserved confidence, trust or belief in the existence of something. Faith is a wide term extending millions of gradual steps – starting from blind belief and ending in the full realization of a thing. Look to the creation. What is the best of the creations? If the answer is Man, then the question arises – how is he so? It is because of having responsibility for exploring ways and means in the path of faith.

Faith is that which directs our activities. We undertake a good work, because we have faith that it will yield good and we shun an evil because it will do us harm.
