"Faith"

Faith... Yes it’s indeed the driving force of any individual in pursuing or going ahead with any endeavor. Well the dictionary meaning is “unquestioning belief that does not require proof or evidence”. To put it in a simple manner it can be put across as

• Belief of a mother that her son/daughter would find a suitable match.
• Belief of a farmer that this time the rain god will shower and it will be a good yield.
• Belief of parents that their children would take care of them in old age.
• Belief of a single parent that he/she would provide the best of everything to their child.

One could come up by a lot of such portraits of faith...But is it only faith that would bring in a positive aura around someone? or is it one's commitment and efforts which supports the very existence of faith?, that's a debatable aspect. Like it has been said that faith is the very existence of everything in this world. But clinging onto only Faith would not bear any fruits. unless it is supplemented by a person's zeal and actions.

Let’s assume Faith as an ATM or even a bank account, where money is one's commitment and ATM is the outcome, because unless you have monies in your account you cannot withdraw anything. Taking this example a little further we often are sprung with situations where we evaluate the other person on these faith parameters, and go on with our relationships  which is decided by a mere acts of a person and justify ourselves by stating that we had full faith on that person but they didn’t act as we had perceived.

Faith should not be termed as a synonym for wish, desire or even HOPE. Many of us confuse ourselves with this and we even don’t spare the almighty in this due course and throw out some punch lines as:-

• I have full faith in my god and he would surely work this in my favor.
• God won’t shake my faith.
• After all I have worshipped all these years and even went to numerous shrines and religious places.

Faith is indeed a farm which yields good crop when you feed it with good fertilizers, seeds, germination and put in your efforts and then HOPE that it will be a good yield this time.

Faith is a train which has the engine of hard work, efforts, dedication and commitment which indeed gives a thrust to the compartment called as Bogie.

Dear readers I would like to conclude this topic by saying that:-

“FAITH”:- It’s the sun that would rise in the east.

“HOPE”:-  It wont be much hot today.
