The Flower of Faith

Swami Sivananda Saraswati

Faith is a rare flower of inestimable value. It must be cultivated in the garden of your heart. It must be nourished daily with the water of sincerity. The weeds of doubt and fears should be totally eradicated. Then it will strike deep root, blossom and bear the fruit of devotion quickly.

One cannot reach the goal of life with a faith that flickers at every step. One’s faith must be as firm as the Himalayas. It must be as steady as a lamp that burns in a windless place. When one’s faith is a living faith, it will develop into devotion to God.
