Faith

A man in the world should practise discrimination and pray to God, ‘Give me faith and devotion.’ Once a person has faith he has achieved everything. There is nothing greater than faith.

- Sri Ramakrishna

One cannot realise God without the faith that knows no guile, the simple faith of a child.

Faith! Faith! Faith! Once a guru said to his pupil, ‘Rama alone has become everything.’ When a dog began to eat the pupil’s bread, he said to it: ‘O Rama, wait a little. I shall butter Your bread.’ Such was his faith in the words of his guru.

Faith in the guru’s words. You should depend on his instruction. Do your duties in the world, holding fast to his words, like a person whirling round and holding fast to a pillar.
