  1. Faith is one of the most important ingredient to progress in our spiritual lives. We have to have implicit faith in the Spiritual Master and the Supreme Personality of Godhead. To develop this faith we have to be in the association of devotees who have immense faith and also hear from Vaishnavas about the glories of the Lord and chant the holy names.

  2. Nice quote. To develop faith we have to associate with people who have strong faith.

  3. to cultivate that much needed faith in spiritual life, we need examples of saintly people who demonstrates this faith in their life…Radhanath Swami is one of them and “The Journey Home” his autobiography is filled with such examples

  5. Only the faithful can cross all hurdles just the way Maharaj did when he was merely a boy.His sustained faith is what has made him a great spiritual leader.

  6. If there is faith, then there is life, without faith there is no meaning to live. Amazing statement by Radhanath Swami telling the importance of faith in spiritual life.

  12. Beautiful Quote – Spiritual Life requires faith and the faith can get validated in due course of time. But faith with sincere efforts and submissive attitude is the key to starting off.

  15. Radhanath Swami so nicely explains that spirituality is all about faith. One needs to put in faith before starting on the path, and if one follows the path seriously and sincerely ones faith goes on thickening.

  16. Very true. Conviction in spiritual life comes by associating with devotees, who have strong faith. Our senses and mind conditioned,do not help us in spiritual life. Our only goal is to cultivate faith by good sadhna and good association.
    Thank you Maharajah.

  30. HH Satsvarupa maharaj says something like – Its better to be proud of putting faith in scriptures and the process of KC then feeling shy and awkward and blindly put faith in material scientists and other things of this world.

  31. Yes…Maharaj we have personalities like you which inspires us to put faith on the process and the same by blessing of Acharyas we can continue.

  32. Faith should not be taken in the wrong sense. It is not unscientific because even science is based on faith. Faith is the foundation of human interactions.

  34. Thanks Maharaj for telling us this beautiful definition of spiritual life. I had never seen spirituality from this perspective.

  35. We need to put faith in beginning in order to practice spirituality and now Maharaj is telling that spirituality cultivates faith. So in return of the little faith which we put in the beginning of spiritual life, God mercifully gives us much more increased faith.

  37. Maharaj gives a thought which can bring a paradigm shift for everyone.. I never thought about spirituality in this way.. thanks.. JAI !!!

  38. We all like to have some faith, but the test of that faith is that are some problem should be solved. Radhanath Swamis quotes enlighten us that Faith should not be subject to fulfillment of our material desires.

  40. Very nice quote. Cultivation of faith in spiritual life is necessary. Thank you very much for sharing the same.

  44. One of the best quotes by Radhanath Swami. Such a simple defintion of spirituality by Radhanath Swami. To develop faith we must seek instructions from great saintly people like Radhanath Swami.

  46. the necessity of faith is inevitable not only in spiritual life but in every walk of life. And it’s importance in spiritual life is so nicely explained here

  47. We all keep faitih on something. So why not on Lord’s words which will take us to our real destination i.e. to the abode of Lord.
    Thank u Radhanath Swami for such a wonderful quote.

  48. This is cool. Cause we put in faith in so many things without even thinking about it, and all we get is temporary pleasures. That same faith put in spirituality, we will get eternal happiness.

  50. Even to function in our day to day life we need to have faith. Faith in spiritual life can take a leap by associating with those who are genuine and pure. Thank you Radhanath Swami Maharaj for being an example to solidify our faith.

  52. Spiritual truths are so difficult to be understood by material matter (human mind and brain). But putting faith in what Radhanath Swami says is the key.

  53. The subject matter of spirituality is beyond the understanding of our limited & defective material senses. Therefore, it is very important that we take the shelter of a learned saint such as Radhanath Swami Maharaj, under whose spiritual guidance, we can develop strong faith in God.

  55. Radhanath mahraj has told such a practical and non-sectarian definition of spiritual advancement that the fatih which matters a lot , how much faith i have developed in what devotional principles are

  56. Yes very true, faith is the basis of spiritual life and also for anything in life. If we see carefully we are forced to put faith in our day to day life in many people (e.g. teachers, barber, bus driver) directly or indirectly.

  58. the modern education is designed in such a way to slaughter our faith in spiritual subjects which are essentially based on the faith not blind faith but on systematic reasoning, thus understanding of spiritual subjects are based on faithfully following the injunctions as we do not have capacity to see the truth with these blunt senses.

  60. Very true. Without faith we cannot step into spiritual life. And we cannot continue on a spiritual path without faith. As Radhanath Swami mentions in a lecture, Faith is the substance of Bhakti.

  61. Very true….in Spiritual life you may not get the results immediately, sometimes the results are there but we cannot perceive it……thats why we need full faith in the process……..

  63. Its so foolish to believe only in our own mind and senses. All adventure begins with open-mindedness and faith that something wonderful lies out there; something only heard of so far, but yet not experienced. With such a spirit, lets enter the sublime world of true spiritual activities.

  66. If we put faith in the words of Radhanath Swami, then spiritual progress is guaranteed. As Radhanath Swami clearly quotes, to know the difference between matter and spirit (body and soul) is the begining of spirituality.

  72. In our normal routine activities we put our faith ins so many person. like when we fly we put our faith in ‘airline Pilot ‘etc, but when it comes to spiritual practices we have the tendency to doubt and speculate things.
    If in our material life we can not live without faith, how much faith we must need to seek genuine spiritual faith. Thank you for this reminder Maharajah.

  73. Everything in this life is based on Faith on someone or something. For spirituality too, the first step is to take that leap of faith. Thank you Maharaj!

  78. What a wonderful point!Initially one may be attracted by spiritual life and enter with one’s own preconceived notions.Radhanath Swami has given the cornerstone on basis of which spiritual life is built

  79. What a beautiful way to check whether we are following the right path and process in Spiritual life. Our faith in the Supreme Lord and hence our service to Him should increase (from the heart); not just externally showing ourselves to be spirtualist!

  81. I would like to repose my faith in a saintly instructions of Radhanath Swami – can someone guide me what is to be done for this

  82. Faith is foremost required in practising spiritual life especially because what we are doing is more inconceivable to the friends and family.

  83. This is so true. Thank you Radhanath Swami for awakening that faith with your divine words and guidance.

  88. as our material body has four defects we cant perceive truth, what to speak about absolute truth(spirituality). thus first faith is required and need to develop is prime step.

  90. Very nice quote.Spirituality starts with faith.Without faith, one will tend to think it is mythology and one will get totally mislead.

  92. we start with a tender creeper like faith, but if we pursue the spiritual path sincerely, that faith becomes like a big strong tree.

  94. I liked this .
    Thank you.
    And it is made very easy by live example and guidance of sincere practitioners of genuine spiritual path
