Glimpses of Sentiments
(111) In the field of religion, the intellect tooks towards activites.
In the field of religion, the faith is result - oriented. (112) Intellect is interested in 'PARANA'
Faith is interested in penance and 'SADHANA (113) Intellect measures my compassion on the basis of
happiness- unhappiness. Faith measures my compassion on the basis of virtues -
evils. (114) Intellect has love of ego.
Faith has love of Arihant Bhagwan. (115) Hearing some exception intellect stirrs.
Ordinarily faith has special interest in practice of
renunciation (116) Intellect talking only about a goal remains lazy in
'SADHANA'. Faith cultivating an aim in 'SADHANA' shows special
enthusiasm. (117) In speech and thoughts intellect has got a lot of difference.
Faith only dissolves any difference between speech and
thoughts. (118) Intellect keeping a religion for tomorrow happily commits
sins today. Faith even if sin is required to be commited under force, postpones it for tomorrow and performs its religious
practices with carefree and gay approach. (119) With mean intellect there may be full fortune. But there may
not be any virtue. With utmost faith it may happen that there may not be fortune. But virtues are in plenty.
