If there is no faith then there will be no contemplation and also the more the contemplation the more the faith. Faith means realizing what is true existence and what is false. The firm belief that apart from Truth (Sat) and God (Brahman), all the rest is impermanent and untruth, is known as faith. Faith itself is a resolve. Some people have faith from birth, while in others it can be developed only by consistently remaining in satsang, Holy company and Spirituality.
