Often faith is presented as some sort of final conclusion and view on life. But, faith as I understand it and experience it is something dynamic and alive.
Faith causes the mind and heart to seek understanding and life. Faith also opens the heart and mind to emptiness and darkness at times, bringing us in touch with parts of life that we cannot comprehend and control.
Faith causes something deep inside to believe that the One behind all things is beautiful beyond all beauty and good beyond all goodness and merciful beyond our strongest hopes. It also causes us to tremble deep inside in those moments when we become aware of a Presence too holy for us to be near.
Faith causes the mind to seek understanding and to never be satisfied with the understanding one has. Faith seeks truth and a union with truth in human relationships and with the Divine.
