Swamiji,I was just hearing a programme of yours where you were saying that you can get and will only get what you deserve according to your past actions. This is the truth but I was having a doubt in one belief system that you were conveying that is prayer asking for something from God even if your faith is intense and pure it is not very useful because ultimately you will only get and go through experiences that you deserve in life based on the quality of your past karma. But I had a belief system which many I know also have that is strong, intense, pure and doubtless faith in God will help you undergo difficult situations with a lighter heart and it can even help turn around situations in your favour. I have experienced that God helped once when nobody else could help and He was the only one I could count on with strong and intense faith in my heart. Maybe these people and me too deserved the favour in our life due to some of our good actions of the past but this belief system that if you are in trouble you really deserved it is hurting compared to God can save you even if everyone else fails. Accepting everything as God’s prasadam seems little tough. Isnt faith powerful and if prayers and poojas are done with faith. We can faith along with our urge to know and experience truth.cant we. Sometimes I feel in your talks you deny the power of faith, which has worked for me. Swamiji, would you help clear these doubts. Pranam

Faith/ belief is not part of Sanathanadharma, because it is our conviction that everything here exists in GOD. In fact, as Ishavasya Upanishad says, “isha vasyam idam sarvam”. Then the next question becomes who is the God that you have the strong conviction in? It is the all pervading Supreme Intelligence of the Universe, which exists in you as well. When you have Faith in God you are in fact having faith in yourself……however you have to relate to a purer, stronger, perfect version of you, not the weak, dependant, vulnerable or emotional. Once you understand that, there is no conflict in your ideas and what I said. Hari Om.
