信心是你的財富 Faith is Your Wealth

假如你認為對上帝的信心是施恩於上帝，那你就錯了。你對上帝或上師的信心，對上帝或上師毫無影響。信心是你的財富。
信心即刻帶給你力量。信心為你帶來穩定、重心、平靜與愛。信心是你的福氣。
假如你沒有信心，你將必須祈求信心，然而要能祈禱，你需要有信心，這是個矛盾。（眾人大笑）
人們將信心放在世界上，然而整個世界只不過是個肥皂泡沫而已。人們將信心放在自己身上，但是他們卻不知道自己是誰。人們以為自己對上帝有信心，但是他們實際上並不知道誰是上帝。
信心有三種：
1）自我的信心：假如對自己沒信心，你就會想著：我做不來這件事；這不適合我；我這輩子永遠得不到解脫。
2）對世界的信心：你對世界必須有信心，則你將寸步難行。你將錢存放在銀行裡，是相信那錢你可以拿回來。假如你事事懷疑，你將萬事都行不通。
3）對神的信心：對上帝懷著信心，你就會有所進化。
這些信心全是互為關連的，你必需三種皆具備，如此每一部份才會茁壯。如果你對其中之一開始懷疑，你就會開始事事皆懷疑。
比爾：無神論者對自己與世界有信心，但對上帝卻沒信心。
古儒吉：那樣他們對自己就沒有完全的信心，而他們對世界的信心也不會持續，因為世界總是多變的。對神、對世界或對自己缺乏信心會帶來恐懼。
信心（faith），使你完滿（full）──變得忠實（faithful）。
拉佳許：信心（faith）與信賴（confidence）有何差異？
古儒吉：信心是開始。信賴是結果。對自己的信心帶來自由，對世界的信心帶來內心的安寧，對上帝的信心點燃你內在的愛。
對世界有信心而對上帝沒有信心，不會帶來完全的安寧。但假如胸中有愛，你自動地就獲得安寧與自由。那些極困擾不安的人應該只對上帝有信心。
155 Faith Is Your Wealth
Weekly Knowledge #155 Bangalore Ashram 28 May 1998 India
Faith is a wealth. If you think, by having faith in God you are doing a favour to God, you are mistaken. Faith gives you strength instantaneously. Faith brings you stability, centeredness, calmness and love. You having Faith In The Guru Or God, Does Not Do Anything To Guru Or God. Your Having Faith Gives You Immediate Strength. Faith is a great wealth; it is a blessing.
If you lack faith, you have to pray for faith. But to pray, you need faith. This is a paradox. (Laughter)
People have faith in the world - but the whole world is just a soap bubble. People have faith in themselves - but they don't know who they are. People think that they have faith in God - but they have no idea of God. If you want to doubt, you have to doubt everything
There are three types of faith : faith in yourself, faith in the world, and faith in God. You need to have faith in yourself -- without faith, you think, I can't do this. This is not for me. I will never be liberated in this life. You must have faith in the world. Without this, you cant move an inch in the world. Banks give you loans having faith that you will pay it back. You deposit money in the bank having faith that it will be returned. If you doubt everything in the world, nothing will happen. The same is the case with faith in the Divine - have faith in the Divine and you will evolve. All these faiths are connected. You must have all three for each to be strong.
Bill : Atheists have faith in themselves and faith in the world, but not in God.
Sri Sri : They don't have complete faith in themselves. Lack of faith in God, in the world or in the self brings fear. Faith in the world cannot be constant because there are always changes.
Faith makes you full - faithful. If you have faith, you are full.
Rajesh : What is the difference between faith and confidence ?
Sri Sri : Confidence is the result. Faith is the beginning.
Faith in yourself brings freedom.
Faith in the world brings you peace of mind.
Faith in God evokes love in you.
You can be at peace by having faith in the world and without faith in God, but it is not complete peace. If you have love, there is automatically peace and freedom. People who are extremely disturbed should only have faith in God.
Colourful NEWS SPLASH! At the close of the Tamil Advanced Course, a satsang was held in the late afternoon in the Sumeru Mandap. After several bhajans, Guruji started chanting. Suddenly people started pointing into the western sky where a huge thundercloud appeared, the top of which was filled with brilliant colours of unusual intensity. The trees had been crying for water and within a few minutes, the wind started and it began to rain. What was it? It was not a rainbow. We contacted the weather observatory, but they had no idea of this phenomenon. When we asked the explanation for this, Guruji said, "Nature is our friend".
Miscellaneous Newsplashes - After hectic activities in Bangalore, Guruji tried to escape to Mangalore for 24 hours but it turned out to be another party. Art of Living representatives, headed by Sharada Lavingia were invited to the G -8 Summit reception in Birmingham, U.K. Art of Living was also represented in the World Health Organisation Conference in Geneva, Switzerland. Teachers presented programmes in St. Petersburg, Russia. Women's prison programs have started in Bangalore. Reports of more seva projects are arriving from all over the world.
Jai Guru Dev
