Glimpses of Sentiments
Although appearing blind, the faith is conscious, absolutely
aware. (52) Ego, impatience, excitement, restlessness ~ all are married
to the intellect. Faith is married to the wisdom with full understanding and
maturity. (53) Intellect though looking reformed, is mad.
Faith though apparently looking crazy, is matured, with
understanding. (54) Intellect even in its own mistake holds others responsible.
Faith even in case of mistakes by others, considers himself
responsible. (55) Intellect searches its selfish interest in even welfare of
others. Faith even in its own selfish matters looks forward to do
welfare of others. (56) Intellect, perhaps, increases. But there is no progress; it
runs on the way of destruction. Faith though not expanding outwardly definitely, makes
tremendous progress. (57) Intellect by breaking atom can produce electricity.
Faith creates warmth full of consciousness and perform the noble work of joining the life of the world with
NIRVANA'. (58) The foundation - stone of the intellect is the nature of
constant changes. The solid foundation of the faith is steady state, patience
and wisdom. (59) Intellect without faith, though seeing everything, takes
downwards.
