Are not you living with crisis of faith?

Hi Raj, as humans we should not give up our self effort but rather should accept the reality of life. It is about recognizing when it is time for action and when it is time to sit it out. After you have done all that is humanly possible during a period of crisis and the situation is till beyond your ability to remedy, you must anchor yourself with the spirit of endurance. Let the dark night pass. One thing is certain in life, its ever changing nature. If we value our thoughts and use them carefully as we use money, we will never find ourselves spiritually bankrupt.

That is a very good assumption you have made and I have to say that I agree with you. I too believe that in today's society that people have lost touch with what is really important for the wealth and success that they seek today. I also believe that this longing for riches is the cause as to why people feel the emptiness inside no matter what wealth they reach. I feel we are all searching for the wrong things in life.

I think that you are right in blaming material things for an absence on one's life. When people depend on things for happiness, they will always be disappointed and feel emptiness. Unfortunately, our society keeps telling us that things will make us happy and many of us believe it. That is the basis for all the ills of society. My Bible says "the love of money is the root of all evil" and never was such a right thing said!

Oh ya buddy! Euphoria of affluence- I like that! Like Jimi Hendrix said: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. I try very hard not to take on these traits and I beleive that you must keep that true in your own little corner of the world.

all i can say is that you actually described what i am feeling right now and for few days back actually. i feel like my heart is starved of love and friendship and no matter how much money i have it does not fill the void inside . but friendship and love is not easy to find nowadays when life is getting complicated as far as my life in concerned. when other people seem to find life and friendship as easy as they would find a food inside their fridge. i hope that it is just as easy. that i would just go out and would go to someone or a friend house and the my life will be better. but to find good friend prove to be very difficult nowadays. and there are so many good people around but not many willing to be a good friend. they can only be good people in a way they will good citizens but to be your personal friend is just another story. cause people has the right to choose their friends.

No, I am not living in crisis of faith. The real crisis of faith is not going to come from the challenge of scientific cosmology, but from our losing sight of the Christian mysteries and the faith and love needed to contemplate them ever more deeply and try to express them ever more adequately. Morwood, demolishing theological straw men, i.e., a male God up in the sky, is not going to take us very far in that direction.

Hi Rajib, Thanks for this discussion, it's something that we should all be looking at carefully. Unless we return to some semblance of caring for one another, we are in for some difficult years ahead. Most people today seems to be thinking,"what's in it for me?" How did we get so far from the teachings of the greatest men and women who have ever lived, for they all taught that we must love and care for one another. I have seen big changes in the way we treat each other, even in my lifetime, what will happen in the next sixty or seventy years? At the same time we must not be blind to the good that is still left in the world, for therein may lie the hope of the future. Blessings.

I think it all boils down to lack of love and value of the self. If that is missing nothing will make a person happy. The sad thing is that we all basically want the same things out of life to love and be loved but some try to replace love with material things, hatred and delusions of grandeur. That is the true lack of faith. If only we could see that we are all in this together and try to help each other instead of beating each other down...

Hello my friend Rajib Ji, I would only say, as a human beings one must behave like human beings aqnd not like beast without any sense and feelings. We all have feelings and as such we do react to each other. At present Maya-calander is worrying us. This was also made by some human beings, who are creating fears in mind of many weak persons and I am sure, as the day approaches, many may end tehmselves. In present days of 'KAL-YUGA" it is ought to happen. I believe , whatever is happening around is all natural. Nothing happens without the knowledge and permission from Almighty. So let's not worry at all. Face all challanges and do the best under prsent crises of faith and trust. May god bless You and have a great time.
