Faith/Trust/Surrender

Doubt is a negative attitude towards something… Mind finds rationalizing to support this

Belief – Belief is just like doubt but standing upside down.. It is a 'Positive' attitude towards something. Mind finds rationalizing to support this.

Faith – Is love..It is deep trusting. There is no belief or doubt. There are no rationalization. It is complete.

With a master you are on a heart trip.. Heart knows only trust. Faith is like a child. It is total. When a disciple becomes just like a child then gift of peak of consciousness are given. It is absolutely feminine. Receptive like a womb.

It does not matter who the master is, it matters how deep and sincere the surrender is.
