Pujya Shree Mota : It is better if we utilize the power of faith and practice diligently to reduce our thinking and thoughts to the minimum while performing action (work). This can be practiced over a period of time. It is even better if there are no thoughts and action is taken by faith only. It is possible to accomplish this over a period of time. Faith is not a subject of thoughts meaning it does not arise from the roots of the thoughts. There is no relationship between thoughts and faith. Faith is independent and so is the thought. Thought is at the bottom and faith is at a higher level. There will be lots of thoughts at this level regarding faith (questioning its validity). Even then we should follow the path of the faith with firm and definite determination. You can think about it if you must. You can think as much as you want regarding the path shown by faith. Pros and cons can also be thought of regarding the ways the work can be accomplished. It is better if that is not the case but still it can be thought of. Once it is decided that it is worth following the way of faith just do it. Immerse in it. All the thoughts and uncertainties will evaporate over a period of time. Once you have 10-12 such experiences there is a feeling that all such thinking does not help much. If we follow the path of faith the final result is the same. The result is much earlier with faith than thinking about it and having doubts. The time to get results is much shorter with faith than performing the works with thinking. The results are earlier with less thoughts and more quietude of the mind. For some this is unbelievable but once experienced it is believable. Faith plays a major role in shortening the time period. It is true only for the devotee of faith and not for others.
