Re: Re: Question on my mind about the development of faith

The answer to your question ‘Do you think it is possible to pray for faith?’ is a resounding yes. I still struggle with the issue of faith. Is it easy to have faith? No. True faith comes only with realization. But there is no need to feel disheartened. Pray with a sincere heart and Mother will listen to your prayer. I think Unni has suggested some simple yet effective methods. Constant remembrance of the Mother or japa will give you much strength and take away from your heart this feeling of emptiness and nothingness.

Prayer is the bond that binds God to the devotee. And do we think that we can do anything else other than prayer. Remember your faith is a sign of Divine Grace. The savior is within yourself there is no need to seek it outside. That is what Vedanta teaches us.

Mother is always there…. As She has said. ”whenever you are in distress just say to yourself I have a Mother”
