Whether we are exploring new terrains,

challenging ourselves, or worshipping God,

faith in others, faith in oneself, and faith in God

is essential.

Where do we see faith as being the most crucial

savior and obstacle?

Crossing the Chasm

How Faith is built on our most difficult obstacles

Scenario #2

You and your family wake up in the middle of the night to see your house engulfed in flames. Everyone rushes out, and although no one is hurt, all your belongings are gone: your Macbook, the paper you wrote till midnight last night. Your parents' valuables are gone as well. (Did someone grab the dog?) All you have are the clothes on your back. How do you see past this tragedy? What do you do?

Breaking Down Our Faith

Scenario #1

You go to a Christain-affiliated school, and live in a very religious community. Although some people are accepting of your differences, others are not. Some try to convince you to convert, and others, like a few teachers, pressure you to go to another school if you won't. You hear that you are soon to be kicked out of the school. What do you do?

Scenario #3

Having shraddha in God's form,

actions, and words

Some distant relatives come to stay for the week at your home (yay...). You soon find that they don't approve much of your beliefs in the BAPS upasana (they are from another branch of Swaminarayan). They try telling you flaws of Swamishri and bad prasangs of volunteers, and soon their arguments start to make some sort of sense. By the time they leave, you can't fight the doubts they have planted.What do you do?

Sakar and Pragat:

God always has a form

and is present

Actions: Divine actions

and sarva-karta

Words: Sarvopari and his agna

is for our benefit

The Chasm

Changing your Perspective:

Is this obstacle really impossible?

Look at it from a different angle

If you truly have

complete faith,

anything is

possible

When ya plant a seed...

will it grow?

did I just waste my time?

Find what interests you and brings you closer

to the light

Faith will recharge us, giving us inexhaustible vigor and enthusiasm

Shraddha= source of energy

When you lose feeling

in your legs,

what makes you keep going?
