NOT QUITE THE FAITH YOU PROFESS BUT FAITH NONETHELESS

NOT QUITE THE FAITH YOU PROFESS BUT FAITH NONETHELESS 

🕉 It is faith that works wonders. Have faith in yourselves and not in any extra-universal entity. It is this self-confidence, this faith in his own judgment and powers born of reason that has made the atheist so powerful, the man of science so invincible, and it is this ultradependence on a figure of faith that has so debilitated the irrational subscriber to articles of faith.

Think of it. If faith in the imaginary deity weakens and reliance on reason strengthens, how much more will faith in the divinity within, born of spiritual experience, of realisation that does not contradict reason but fulfils it, strengthen you, O modern man, who are groping for light even amidst the blinding rays of science! Vedanta will show the way in this age, the light streaming in from ancient times, from an aeon almost buried in antiquity in an India that breathed civilisation when forests dotted the world. 🕉
