With love and trust share this message titled faith is based on experience
As mentioned before, the constitutional nature of all living beings is that we are eternal pleasure-seeking. Faith means confidence or belief that certain activities, I will be happy, or I'll get a pleasure. Faith also means having full conviction that by chanting the holy name of God or Krishna automatically fulfill all spiritual duties and complete all pious activities. Those without this faith are unfit to chant the holy name. Very interesting is the question that makes Arjuna to Krishna in the Bhagavad-gita. Arjuna asks, "Oh Krishna! What is the situation of those who do not follow the principles of scripture but worship as they dictate their own imagination? Are they at the level of goodness, passion or ignorance "Krishna responds philosophically:" According to the modes of material nature that the incarnated soul has acquired, their faith can be of three kinds: in the plane the mode of goodness, in terms of passion or in the plane of ignorance. "Then the Lord Krishna, for our good and for us to discern in activities, explains the characteristics of the food, sacrifices, austerities and charity, according to the three modes of material nature.
In Europe and North America, there are people who call Deprogrammers are people who work on salary and his mission is to destroy the religious faith of those who believe in God. I have a great friend in Spain, that his father paid a lot of money to these Deprogrammers, to kidnap his son and desprogramaran. They took him to a cabin in the Swiss Alps and tried to destroy their religious faith, but without success, my friend ran away! Three years ago I was in South India in a religious festival. The festival lasted twenty days, every day drew sacred deities in procession on a palanquin, all very nice, with lots of color, music, etc., thousands of pilgrims come each day to the festival. The last day of the festival, which was the main day, entered the temple three million people. I was amused by the thought that deprogrammers came here to destroy the religious faith of these people. They would ridicule; want to remove the religious faith of these people is like trying to remove the sweetness of sugar, liquidity water, heat or light and fire, is this possible? No. There is in India a story concerning that faith is based on experience, very interesting and instructive: "the great sage Narada Muni went to see Narayana God or the spiritual world. Please when you meet with God or Narayana, ask me how many lives are to be here in the material world: on the way to a ritualistic priest who said he was found. Then he met a humble shoemaker who asked the same. Narada Muni asked God or Narayana: how many lives you have left the priest and how many you have left the shoemaker to be in the material world? Narayana, God answered the priest has left many lives, but the cobbler, this is your last life in the material world. Narada Muni was surprised and asked: And how is this, that the priest has left many lives and the shoemaker just one? Lord Narayana said, you'll understand when you ask: What was God doing or Narayana in the spiritual world? You will answer: an elephant was passing through the eye of a needle. When Narada Muni returned to earth and met the ritualistic priest asked him, how many lives has God or Narayana told you that I have left in this material world? Narada replied told me many lives you have left. Hearing this the priest stood in anger and started breaking pots sacrifice, offerings, altar, etc. When relaxed a little, he asked Narada Muni, and what is what Narayana or God was doing when you saw him? Narada said, was going on an elephant through the eye of a needle. The priest replied: But what nonsense is this! How can an elephant passing through the eye of a needle? That is not possible. Then Narada went to the humble cobbler. The cobbler asked him who told you my lord Narayana or God about how many lives I stay here? Narada replied, has said that this is your last life here, and you will return to The Hearing this, the shoemaker was thrilled.. Tears fell from her eyes, the hairs stood on end and he had tremors throughout the body; between sobs he asked Narada: and what I was doing my Lord Narayana or God when you visited? Narada said an elephant was passing through the eye of a needle. Hearing this, the shoemaker increased his spiritual rapture. Narada was surprised to see all this and asked the shoemaker and do you really think God or Lord Narayana can pass an elephant through the eye of a needle? The shoemaker said, I live here in this banyan tree (the tree is a giant banyan tree, so huge that no one knows where it begins and where it ends), and my Lord Narayana or God, has put a seed in this gigantic tree, why You should not believe that he can pass an elephant through the eye of a needle? Narada Muni thought: this is based on experience faith.
