Faith in God.

Belief charged with devotion, in the existance of God is "Faith."

When faith reaches its' acme, Gods' Realisation takes place without any delay.

If faith in God is not strong, Gods' Realisation  will be detained, and delayed.

Strong faith in God helps one to attain Him easily. But, one thing everybody has to remember is,

Simply, Faith alone cannot help in reaching God without virtuous qualities.

However strong faith May one has in God's  existance,  without purity of  Mind, without purity of actions, without  purity of thought, one cannot come into the radar of His Vision.

A spiritual  person has to adopt  the Devine  attributes  to his personality traits.

One has to practice  those Devine  traits  deliberately, constantly  to transform  oneself to a pure person. When  faith grows, strengthens firmly, aspirent's spiritual nature stops  him from involving in unrighteous activities, rather it becomes impossible for him to do any  unvirtuous  act. The Devine attributes such as,  austerity, chastity, charity, patience, peacefulness, self contentment, calmness, equality, simplicity, forgiveness, respect towards elders and gurus, 

nonviolence, helpfulness, friendliness, cheerfulness, honesty, truthfulness, etc etc come to him

without any deliberate efforts,. As a matter of fact, all pure qualities adhere any one, when Faith

In God is consolidated.  Also, along with practicing the virtues, one should reinforce  his faith in

God by constantly repeating the Devine name ( Japa ),and meditation ( Thap ). Dhyana, Japa,Thapa help in orienting ones' mind continuously towards Almighty.

As Faith in His Existance grows, all impious acts such as theft, lying, dishonesty, violence, fraud

deceiving, violence, fickle mindedness, etc etc vanish away substituting them by  virtues.

One starts realising God as all pervading, omnipotent Supreme  Consciuosness  with Supreme Knoledge and Supreme Mind. That Supreme being blesses his beloved, the  spiritual virtuous  aspirent, with abundant Buddhi and  GnAnam.{intellect and knowledge }.His grace happens even without the Knoledge of the  spiritual  aspirent himself. The below sloka explains about this, which I said above.

               THEshAm sathatham yukthanAm bhajatam preethipurvakam 

                DadAmi Buddhi yOgam tham yena Mamupayanthithe 

Those ever devoted and united through Meditation with Me, and worshipping Me with love, I confer that Yoga of wisdom through which they come to Me.

" Therefore, fix ur Mind on Me, and establish your intellect in Me alone, you will abide in Me. There is no doubt about it."   Says lord Sri Krishna in the given verse......

             " MayyEva mana mAgaswa Mayi buddhim nivEsaya

            Nivasishyati MayyEva ata oordhvanasamsayaha "

Here, we all have to understand,that  unflinching Faith,  taintless virtuous personality, with absolute purity of Mind,and absolute Devotion, combined together only, works out , in this process of  God realisation.

No doubt, Absolute Faith works as a giant magnet and attracts Gods' attention.

Faith is God, God is Faith.

{karma & Karmaphal }Sanchita karma.

All our actions are dectated by our Buddhi, and Buddhi is guided by the results of our actions done in Previous Births. The accumulated stack of results,of all actions done in the Previous births,is named in a single word called "Sanchita karma". So,every action has it's', own fruit.These fruits of actions are called "Pap, PuNya",according to the nature of the action. Virtuous actions result PuNyam, whereas non virtuous actions result Papam.

Sanchita karma is costituted of both Papam,PuNyams. Hence, everybody has to think ten times before doing any action. Actions does not mean absolutely physical.  Verbal, thoughtful, physical actions all have there own degree of results accumulated in the form of Papam, PuNyam. Who accounts them??.Your own self is the Accontent of ur 

Sanchitakarma. Who rewards the actions. The Supreme self, an all pervading witness.

Life is full of actions, no action,no life. When one dies, leaves the body, what he takes along with him is,  Sanchita karma , his Nature of conduct ( swabhava )and his Knowledge. In Spiritual terms, Swabhava is called Vasana.

How he carries  these entities along with him, to his next  Birth?

Self, along with mind carries these Vasanas and Sanchiyta karma to ones' next Birth.This is mentioned in a sloka in Purushotthama prapti Yoga, like this

     

           "Shareeram  yadavapnothii yachchapyuthkramatheeswaraha 

           Gruheethvani samyAthi vAyurgandhanivasayaha "

Like a breeze carries the fragrance of  flowers while passing over them, the Vasanas 

and  Sanchita karma  are carried away by Ones' Mind along its' Self to the Body of next Birth. The Spiritual vehicle of anybody is rided by Mind like this only. 

The Sanchita karma prompts the actions of the Present birth. 

So, this accumulated stock of Sanchita karma is the cause of our actions.

Out of Sanchita karma, Papam prompts bad actions, PuNyam prompts  good actions.

This is an inevitable cycle of action and it's' results.

Various thought currents prompting our actions are all generated by the power of Sanchita karma. Then how to diminish the effect of The Sanchita Papam?

Very simple. One has to put deliberate efforts to entertain noble thoughts, virtuous actions. The association of holy people (sathsangathi )and reading holy scriptures curbs the sinful thoughts, preventing one from doing sinful actions. This effort when done persistently reduses the Papam of past actions, increases the account of PuNyam. Bad impulses can be curbed by controlling,& by conditioning the Mind  continuously. Our sins can be destroyed by remembering the Aalmighty always, dedicatedly,; Bhakti towards Lord smashes the Papam, just like  the Fire burns the stack of old hay.

In Aksharabrahma Yoga, Lord Sri Krishna says, The Adyatma which is the cause of  Bhava, in everybody is itself, Sanchita karma. The sloka given below reveals the physical format of Sanchita karma.

                    "  Aksharabrahma Paramam swabhavo Adhyatma uchyathe

                      BhuthabhAvodbhavakaro visargaha KarmaSanchitaha " 

Hence,one has to do any action, considering its' repercussions, considering its' results. Because, fruit of actions will always remain dectating our life, not only in this birth, even in the next birth too. This is the truth, which guides ones' happyness and-sorrow. This is absolutely true,  everyone has to borne this truth in their Mind and act

Accordingly.
