Faith, Destiny and Grace - A Relation

Well, what we follow has its own destiny. The higher ideals have higher destiny, the aims and visions. No one ever fails in achieving the higher goals as it is something within that sprouts as if the sown seeds. We sow the seeds in our land of conscience and work on it with faith, the positivity. All of it gives the spiritual wealth, the treasures of knowledge, wisdom, qualities and all that comes from the Wisdom Tree.

However, the destiny that is associated with possessions is not related with it that way. Faith does not work on destiny as it invites Grace, the highest of Destiny. The Concept of Grace may seem idealistic, but it is the most realistic for which not our actions, but FAITH contributes the most.

To whom He gave His Love, gave nothing else (worldly-wise)
To whom He considered not eligible gave everything, (the possessions).
(Indian spiritual saying)

This is one of the major reasons that in our prayers we avoid reading our demand lists (for us it seems the destiny, but it is demanding) - praying and asking for possessions and fulfillment of our desires. It makes the concept of destiny as fake as negativity if we keep praying by reading the demand lists. The Grace is as if child asking mother to have her attention, she fulfills his or her demands, but if child starts to play games, mothers may not like such children.

It brings the faith to the level of child. Seek, learn, play, pray and trust like a child. It is the secret of Grace.

Destiny on the other hand is as if number of seeds one can have, but sowing the seeds makes a difference. Why?

The Greater Good is sharing, and if we share the destiny of others. We sow the seeds and if we are going to eat say 100 seeds, we have grown it for many people. More people share it, more fruits of Good Karma has our share in it. Thus, increased and enhanced share in the destiny of all - the Grace. It makes the concept of congregation as of high worth and value.

Good Karma do not make us deserving, but we share more in the greater good for possessions. Eating more than we need does not make us healthy, but sharing our food with natural world, the animals, birds, plants and other things make a greater return for all. So, we go for Grace, the highest level of destiny.

If we gave back to nature what we take from it, in abundance we receive - mustard seed sown gives more seeds as it multiplies. In all other things, nature does the same - multiplying all that we sow - even the Good Karma. The Great People do not have great destiny, but they attain the highest of it, the Grace, is not it.

Faith and Doubt Both Work - How and Why

Faith and doubt are the opposite pairs. We may find it very interesting that our faith is more in the thing about which we are doubtful. We less doubt about what we think as negative - we are what we think. The irony is that our doubts and thus negative thinking brings the results in the same way as we doubt. For example, if we are afraid of accident, we seem to have faith (in negative way though) that we may face it. This faith in negative way works and all that is negative occurs. Thus, the role of focus is lot more important as it is symbol of double edged sword. If we have faith in positive things to happen, these do happen.

If we invite negative thoughts - when we have faith in negativity; doubts it is invitation to it as it works as if we have faith in it. The person, who have faith in both positive and negative serves two masters and both make one achieve nothing. So, doubt is imbalance factor in faith. We can make our self aware that if my faith is in higher principles and values, the oppositions and failures do not fail the laws and principles of nature (the higher ideals), rather it strengthen as if child learns to walk and falls to ground many times.

The faith in negativity is as if following Satan, and it is own fears and doubts that make it work. As it works negatively it is also called the fallen angel because it gets strength from the same faith that we put in positivity or goodness and thus good things occur. We attribute this goodness as from God. Now faith comes in both forms and how we use it is our own choice. Why?

We, the humans have free will, so natural or universal laws and principles, the higher ideals do not snatch our free will. It affects the results only - the knife that can hurt can be used for healing - from the hands, only positivity and negativity acts - not the knife. Action has a reaction. The Law of Conservation of Energy keeps everything balanced so faith remains as it is no matter we put it in doubt or devotion, it conserves with the fruits it bears and thus conservation of energy.

Selfishness is something that makes us doubtful, but serving others for greater good makes everything peaceful and fills the positivity with gifts that it has to offer us to all. Faith can do everything and thus anything, still we have a choice - the free will. If we choose the greater good, we share it in abundance - not alone, but with all.

Faith and Confidence - A Difference

"Sow the Seeds" has a meaning in a great depth. The mustard seed if sown gives plant and then many more seeds. This is the way faith works. If we sow the seeds, we harvest it after it ripens. How many times it multiplies depends on our taking care of our faith as a farmer or peasant takes care of the sown seeds.

We have a triangle of faith, trust and confidence. The people, who have faith surrender to higher goals and or ideals and thus lack confidence. thus, prayer works for creating strong faith - the confidence in the higher ideals or natural (universal) laws and principles. This high level of faith thus creates trusting others and be trusted. It is not that easy - the path of higher ideals is always difficult as it leads to greater good.

The concept of prayer helps because it is Art of Living in the Present. In Sanskrit and Hindi, the word for prayer is Prarthna means living in the present and thus the Art of Living in the Present.

Our actions always has reactions that we know as our Karma and fruits associated with it. Each Karma, the action has reaction in the form of fruit - the result. Our faith works and it does not add as if we add pebbles, but as if we sow the seeds and lot more resulting from it. Faith gives hope - the healing power that makes all go for greater good. It is the Faith that makes scientists focus on what they believe and thus they concentrate and make discoveries (Ayurveda is also such an example as well as all ancient scriptures related to knowledge and wisdom - Sir Issac Newton and Galileo claimed it). Out of this concentration results the meditation or vice versa.

This meditation or concentration leads to focus and it has such a penetrating power that at soul level (when conscience - not just feelings - and intellect function and work - the nuclear level the rigidity melts and thus the mountains move - the Nano Technology is example as Homeopathy is - the tiny particles remove the big obstacles from the body present as diseases. Even the impossible becomes possible. All that we have in our modern age has resulted from it, the faith and its fruit.

However, our not following the natural laws and principles makes us greedy and we want more fruit from the sown seeds, and thus violate the natural world and its right. So, we face so many crises just because we avoid learning how to use what we get from concentration and focus. All that we have is also a seed that needs to be sown with faith not confidence alone otherwise, we may not understand how faith work when seed is sown - "Sow the Seeds".
