A Life of faith....

In this eventful path of life we all face cross roads which demands firm decisions. Many a times we are troubled by the turbulent force of unknown. And then many of us give up or shout help. But if u can’t solve your problem and u can’t make decision for ourselves then how can anybody else? We loose hope; we take fall as fail and every error as uncorrectable. But few man show guts and they start off after every fall with more courage and hard work just to set an example that falling is not failing. This strength does not come from outside neither from emotion. It’s an inner strength which comes from love and faith, the faith in self and the almighty. This faith gives the raw courage to achieve the unseen. It’s the best healer and the most powerful therapy. It re-enforces the dream and the source. A faith is miracle, a faith itself is godly. The undisputed world cycling champ LANCE ARMSTRONG had set a new milestone with his miraculous comeback after a deadly disease. He came, won and showed the power of faith ( See: The Autobiography “Its not about the bike; my journey back to life by Lance Armstrong. ). Then on he runs the Armstrong Foundation which does many charities a part of that is the bands we wear with caption “Live Strong”. This is the power of faith.
Faith originates from hope and is enforced by commitment. The more we are committed the more we are faithful. The more we commit the more we love and love nurtures faith. Love is a supreme force and the only way for God realization. The power of love and faith is articulated by many Yogis. From faith originates the power of will. At will power man can do anything virtually anything. Even willfully when u command the sun to rise it won’t rise. ( For more on will power and faith and yogic miracles read “ Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramahansa Yogananda ).
All these yoga and everything has a common motto; a better life and a better place to live in. God can be realized and served in mainly three ways according to Vhagbad-Gita:
1. Kriya Yoga
2. Dhyana Yoga
3. Karma Yoga

Kriya yoga is something practiced by devine yogis and saints to achieve god through self realization. It ignites the power of Kundalini in the human body and gives supreme force like materialize a single body in two forms.

Dhyana yoga is practiced by Rusis of ancient eras. The “Kothar Tapasya.”

But what about us the people with this earth with families and other responsibility. We have Karma Yoga. Which is nothing but the practice of godly qualities like honesty, benevolence, dedicated work, prayers, love and the will to change things in the right direction. This sense of righteousness gives courage and enlightens us with knowledge of self. It gives us faith. Such is the power of faith and love. Lets love and have faith in the infinite.
