Blind faith means doing a particular
action towards God without understanding the science behind it. In society, 20%
of all individuals one comes across have blind faith. Although there is a loss
of 10% to society because of this, 20% benefit, since at least some people refrain
from doing bad deeds out of blind faith.
We often see pious people, who regularly visit places of worship, and who
panic if they don’t. They think that God will get angry with them. We also
notice that when people follow some ritualistic worship without understanding
the Science, if they miss a step or something goes wrong during the ritual, they
feel it is a bad omen and fear God. What is important to understand is that God
is beyond such human emotion, and that the sole purpose of the ritual is to progress
spiritually by increasing our faith. When efforts in the spiritual direction,
such as rituals, are done in accordance with the principles of Spirituality,
the result is guaranteed. |
