-----------------------------------------------------
The teachings presented by Lord Krishna are perfect for our eternal welfare. However, our material intellect has innumerable imperfections, and so we are not always able to comprehend the sublimity of his teachings or appreciate their benefits. If we could, what would be the difference between us tiny souls and the Supreme Divine Personality? Thus, faith becomes a necessary ingredient for accepting the divine teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Wherever our intellect is unable to comprehend, rather than finding fault with the teachings, we must submit our intellect, “Shree Krishna has said it. There must be veracity in it, which I cannot understand at present. Let me accept it for now and engage in spiritual sadhana. I will be able to comprehend it in future, when I progress in spirituality through sadhana.” This attitude is called shraddha, or faith.
Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharaya defines shraddha as strong faith in the words of the Guru and the scriptures. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu explained it similarly: “The word Śhraddhā means strong faith in God and Guru, even though we may not comprehend their message at present.”
The British poet, Alfred Tennyson said: “By faith alone, embrace believing, where we cannot prove.” So, shraddha means earnestly digesting the comprehensible portions of the Bhagavad Gita, and also accepting the abstruse portions, with the hope that they will become comprehensible in future.
However, one of the persistent defects of the material intellect is pride. Due to pride, whatever the intellect cannot comprehend at present, it often rejects as incorrect. Though Shree Krishna’s teachings are presented by the omniscient Lord for the welfare of the souls, people still find fault in them, such as, “Why is God asking everything to be offered to him? Is He greedy? Is He an egotist that he asks Arjun to worship him?” Shree Krishna says that such people are achetasaḥ, or “devoid of discrimination,” because they cannot distinguish between the pure and the impure, the righteous and the unrighteous, the Creator and the created, the Supreme Master and the servant. Such people “bring about their own ruin,” because they reject the path to eternal salvation and keep rotating in the cycle of life and death.

But those who find faults with My teachings, being bereft of knowledge and devoid of discrimination, they disregard these principles and bring about their own ruin.

When we go to a Doctor for a diagnosis and the treatment there after, we have faith that he will cure us. When he takes us to the operation theater we never doubt that we won't return. That kind of faith is required to grow on the path of Bhakti

Belief in God is not a natural process that we as human beings just follow. Since God is non-apparent and we have no first-hand experience of God, we have to rely on the words of our Guru and the Vedic scriptures. गुरु वेदान्त वाक्येषु दृढो विश्वासः श्रद्धा। (Shankaracharya)“Faith means firm confidence in the words of the Guru and the scriptures. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu explained it similarly - “श्रद्धा शब्दे विश्वाास कहे सुदृढ निश्चय" | So, ”श्रद्धस्व तात श्रद्धस्व - Have faith on the divinely revealed scriptures and begin the process. The validation will happen through divine experience.
Radhe Radhe swamiji...
Jay Shree Krishna ❤❤❤Love my Lord Krishna ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Faith isn't needed. Just do what u r meant to do
HARE KRISHNA ❤️🙏🏻
Radhey radhey Excellent explanation by Swamiji.
Wow, how beautifully explained! One who always doubts scriptural knowledge, cannot find peace or success in the spiritual path. Our life turns in the direction in which we have placed our faith. If we believe in the power of the words of Lord Krishna, our faith will become reposed in the sacred scripture as the manual for life. Thank you, Swamiji.
Such an eye opening message! We must shed all carelessness and make a strong resolve to truly implement these teachings in our day-to-day lives.
Very effective video. Whenever I get depressed I watch this video, and the depression goes off. Thanks a lot for uploading this video. Thanks once again. Jai Jai Shri Krishna!
This lecture is very very very very guhiytam ... if someone don't have faith and believe in God. 🙏🌺Radhey Radhey

Fantastic lecture 🙏🙏 Hare Krishna! . At 8:18 , topic related to stress management, working in an IT environment, goals or targets are set for us by upper management, and not achieving that causes the job to be at risk, so that causes fear for meeting or exceeding targets, so how to overcome that fear and remain unattached to the result and when to keep retrying vs giving up and accepting that it’s a will of god? 🙏

We are accustomed with family traditions and feel we know God . Actual knowledge of God , faith in Him can be gained by following the instructions of a Guru ; and by following the scriptures . The more we follow the instructions of Guru and scriptures , the deeper will be our faith in God leading to more devotion for Him .
The most essential aspect is to accept all what Shri Krishna teaches us thru his teachings to Arjun. Without doubts And to convince ourselves abou His teachings we have to accept fhe fact that no father teaches his children anythingthing wrong Krishna is our eternal father and loves us all Without exceptions The teachings of Bhagwat Gita is as timeless as the existence of mankind and will always remain so since it is spoken by the Universal Father Krishna Since Krishna has created us His Exsistence is by itself proved And who can be a better Instructor than the Creator So it is A and B

Swamiji u must mention that these hypothesis, these principles are already proven by many thinkers like Gandhiji, who followed Geeta. So there should not be any question of doubting these"experiments"
Faith in god that god protect us 2true.3c thanks swami jee teach us realty of sansar .
Thank you Swamiji for this wonderful lecture. The people I know who lack faith and knowledge are some of the most miserable people I know. They are bound by their attachments and suffer greatly, sometimes, without even realizing it. If only they could turn in face guys, they were fine so much bliss that they have been missing.
Hare Krishna❤️🙏

How come we think that we may achieve our ultimate objective-God realization-without faith when even in the material world we are unable to succeed? Therefore, we should obey our Guru's directions with complete trust.
Swamyji ,Over a period of yrs ..say 30/40/50 yrs we lived with ignorance.may be we realized now d imp of sadhana ,spiritual path & put in practice but as said old habits die hard ,despite practice we get disassociate wth the practice...How to overcome dis ...pl guide ....🙏
Amazing analysis. However, MG example is mis-informative. Britishers quit because of SCB.
God is perfect. But I lack every single prerequisite explained in the scriptures. Sri Ramakrishna even said one who is born cross eyed has evil karma and what hope does that one have for God communion? A cross eyed person does not even have communion with other people. They look away, always. Will God say, get thee hence, I never knew you?
Swami Ji, Mohandas Gandhi was not a Mahatma. He was a retired Subedar Major of British army in South Africa this having obedience to the British. Your guidance is welcome always. Intended gratitude expressed please.

You call this man Swami but you reject his teaching. Why then call him Swami? Are you a swami? How do you know Gandhi was not a mahatma? How did you get so wise as to be able to judge other peoples' spiritual achievements? Gandhi formed a corps of 1100 men to become stretcher bearers. He was not a fighting soldier, he was a man who saved the wounded and dying and showed great bravery risking his own life. Even if Gandhi did some bad when he was younger are you going to deny he could become a good man? If you say bad men cannot become good you reject the holiness of the Ramayana because you are saying thief and murderer Ratnakara could not become Saint Valmiki.
Forget about others faith, focus on yours only. The day you ll realise you are no where near to god, your sleep will also disappear.
Swami ji, MK Gandhi was not a great man. I respect your teachings. But pls don't use example of such kind of selfish politician here. He was a British Agent. Nothing more. There were lots of loopholes in his life work.

You claim to respect your Swami's teachings but you reject them when they do not meet your own desires. You never met Gandhi so you are trusting the teachings of other people who say Gandhi was not good earlier in his life rather than respect your teacher who says he became great. This whole lecture was about having faith in your teacher. You claim that Gandhi was not good because he did some bad when younger. You reject the entire Ramayana when you say that. You are saying thief and murderer Ratnakara could not become Saint Valmiki.
