________________ 3. What is your definition of faith? Faith is synonymous with trust. Trust is faith. 4. Who has faith? As per the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, only a person with faith can procure knowledge. 5. Is it possible to say that one person has more faith than another person? Are there any visible signs of this? A trustworthy/trusting person is a person who is faithful. You can come to know from a person's way of talking and way of application of the faith in their life. 6. Which of the following people is more religious and why? a. Person A carries out a lot of religious actions (prayer, visits to religious places, etc.), but does not follow the religion's principles in his daily life. b. Person B follows the religion's principles in his daily life but does not carry out many (or any) religious actions. A person who does religious actions like the prayer etc., but does not follow the religious principles in his life is called a superficial devotee; someone who is a devotee only by name. One who, owing to unavoidable circumstances, cannot do prayers etc. but follows the religious principles regularly is the real devotee. 7. If a person has an equal amount of belief in all religions, does that person have faith? To give up on one and hold on to another is not true devotion/ true faith. Keeping faith in your own religion while maintaining respect for another and moving ahead is the sign of a true devotee. 380
