We are entering this new year, 2025 after a period of crises across the world which has tested humanity and forced it to leap beyond its rigid boundaries . The wars, deceptions, crimes and the losses, everything just kept on pushing us to the edge. But, in these tough times there was something deeper which held us, gave strength to persevere a little more, to keep working for a better tomorrow. For me, it was Faith. Imploring into what is this faith, made me write this small peace.
What Faith means to me:
It is when you light up the lamp in the darkness, that hope ignites. It is when you light up that lamp within yourself that faith is established. Hope is when you can see something in the darkness with that tiny beam of light. Faith is when in the utter darkness, you know within yourself that there is light indeed.
What men often cry foul of, is that faith is unreasonable, that is a belief without any grounds. It is not, it is neither a belief nor a hope. It is knowing without and above any reason. Knowing the truth of the experience deep within. Knowing the beauty and sweetness of life, despite all the pain served in your bowl. It is the unshakable trust in your roots and the soil that holds it firm. It is the undeniable light of the flame burning within which tell you that you are something beyond this body, beyond this life, beyond this moment. That undying flame, which lights out to the outward eye. Faith is not on the other, but it is the truth of one’s own being.
The truth, which needs no reason, not any acknowledgment even, to justify its existence. To live with Hope is beautiful, but to live in Faith is Wisdom.
