Glimpses of Sentiments
(33) Intellect attaches itself with self-centred abnormal thoughts
processes. Faith adopts the approach of pure thought process keeping
welfare of others at the centre. (34) Intellect is motivated to snatch from others without doing
any work, without any rights, owned by others, without paying anything, taking absolutely free.
Faith is ready even to leave rightful thing. (35) Intellect is interested in narrow vision.
Faith is interested in generous approach. (36) Face of intellect is towards demands.
Face of faith is towards feelings. (37) Intellect is ready to break, not to bend, unbreakable
Faith is pleased to bow down. (38) Intellect's approach is of excercising its right.
Faith is always duty-bound. (39) Intellect comes from removal of ignorance.
Faith is derived from destruction of bewitching actions. 140) Intellect can become a thing of exhibition.
Faith could only be experienced. (41) Intellect although intensly desires to gain permanent
happiness but it gets that only temporarily. Although faith has approach to get satisfied with a
temporary thing, gets permanent happiness. (42) Intellect considering a milestone as a destination stops
there. Faith crosses a boundary of a milestone and gets on a journey towards 'MOKSHA.'
