Faith or Self-confidence (Vishvasam), Determination (Sahasam), Courage (Dhairyam), Intelligence (Buddhi), Energy (Shakti) and Valour (Parakramam) - when one has these six qualities, God will stand by them in all their endeavours. In any age, any place or in any circumstance, these six good qualities are essential. No worry will haunt anyone who has these six virtues. These six qualities cannot be acquired by education nor imparted by any preceptor. Nor can they be inherited from one's parents. These qualities are secured only by Atma-vishvasam (Self-confidence). In our daily experience, faith is evident from the simple act of posting a letter. No one will send a letter by post if he did not have faith in the postal department. The address and postage stamp on the letter are unaffected by distance. Likewise, God makes no distinction between those near to Him or remote from Him. One's faith should be properly addressed. Faith should be unwavering, total and free from doubts of any kind. The letter of faith must carry the stamp of selfless love (Prema). Selfish love will be useless. When firm faith is associated with unselfish love, prayers addressed to Bhagawan are bound to reach Him.
