Conversation 030: Keep the Faith!

This conversation is based on the excellent blog post titled “A Leap of Faith” by BLINDZANYGIRL. I kindly request you to have a look at it.

Seeker 2: Throughout our life we are not at all independent…depending on so many people and other species of our life for survival and other needs…when we are in good health or when things go our way. We take so many things for granted…we make ourselves so busy that we don’t even acknowledge…we think as if these good times are forever…and then one day out of the bolt from the blue…things happen that makes us realise we have surrendered to something that is material…that is impermanent…that gives some minute joy for the time being…just like the taste of honey drop on the edge of the bottle…not realising what is the thing that gives everlasting peace…we try to inquire…but it’s too late…we have lost the prime of life…our youth…the power of our senses to comprehend things…and so we are getting trapped in material existence forever…we just live to die…and die to live again…

Seeker 1: Thank You SO much for that. For many, that may be true. For myself, I was NEVER interested in material things, and never sought them, except what was necessary. I always sought God, or whatever word you like to use. Something more spiritual is what I mean. But for all of us, it is a lifelong process of surrendering. To Whatever. I never ever surrender myself to PEOPLE. I will love them, have friends etc. but never surrender my inner self to them. It is a constant path. For some people, they might just call it Fate, or Nature. For me, it is God, and by that I do not mean an old man in the sky. But a God Who suffers WITH us. I don’t know how that sits with you in your religion. Thank you so much for giving us your own insight.

Seeker 2: It gives me so much pleasure to read what you have written… the true nature of a soul… the longing to be in union with the Supreme… that’s possible only through surrender… only when the soul’s covering with the material nature ceases… that’s achieved…

Seeker 1: Thank You so much. Your insight is amazing!

Seeker 2: This clearly shows one’s faith or religion hardly matters. Your words clearly indicates the oneness of the thought process and concludes that all paths leads to the same goal as long as one follows their prescribed path earnestly and zealously… (Conversation 021 – A Philosophical Chat)

Seeker 1: I totally agree with you. I am honoured to know you…

Seeker 2: Your words resonates with the very same thoughts I had a few days earlier and I feel privileged to share it again here… I am sure you will agree… Prayer for Surrender …

Seeker 1: I will read that in a few moments.  Thank you!

Seeker 2: You are most welcome.
