The most sublime form of faith

The most sublime form of faith.

It’s called graceful surrender. How do I define this form of faith? 

It is as finely chiseled as a straw of grass and as strong as the roots of a banyan tree. It is because of this faith that even God hesitates before letting loose His wrath. The God lover or Godchild, who has this faith flowing through the soul, has no questions and no demands. There is just pure grace and surrender. If a disaster takes place, the person’s very foundations are not shaken as he/she does not believe that ‘I have full faith that my Master will resolve this problem’ or ‘my Master will never let me down’ or ‘I have complete faith in my Master/God/Prayer that this catastrophe/problem/ adverse situation will be taken care of and I will come out unscathed’.

No.

When a catastrophe does strike, the child of true faith, first of all is aware that whatever is taking place, it is so, with the approval of his/her Master. The consequences could be caused due to free will or karmic ramification, but the individual knows only one thing, that whatever the reason, the Master is aware of the situation, and if the Master is aware of the situation, and still has allowed the individual to go through the experience of discomfort or grief or pain, then the individual is fine with it.

Thus whatever unpleasantness is happening around, the person of this kind of sublime faith, is certain that the hard experience has arrived only after his/her Master’s knowledge and thus approval. The person of true faith is certain that the Master has allowed the circumstances to enter his/her life for a purpose and the individual does not want to know the reason or purpose. He or she is content in the knowledge that nothing, good or bad, pleasant or unpleasant, joy or grief, can enter his or her life, without the consent of the Master. If it has the consent of the Master, then whatever the unpleasant experience be... death, illness, separation, betrayal, bankruptcy, agony, grief, ill repute, slander... whatever; it has arrived with a reason and the Master knows the reason and the Master has willed it and if something has been approved and blessed by the Master, then, that is all that matters.

The person will give his or her best to life and do all that is required to overcome the issue but it is done with no questions, no doubts, just pure and complete surrender.

Om Namah Shivay.
