Faith Fortunes One's Life With Miracles

By: Sharmila Sanka Faith is complete trust enveloped with love, doubtless devotion and wholeheartedness. Very seldom do we place our trust in people. Sometimes, situations, stress and our mental attitude force us to place our faith in people or God. What is faith and why is it so powerful? How can it turn normal situation into a miracle? Faith is not timely faith or belief in a person or Divine being. It takes abundant love and trust to surrender ourselves to God. When problems garland our life continually and the situation requires immediate action not provoking negative reaction and when there is no other resort other than God, it is then we place our trust in God. We do not let our ego come in between us and pray with all our heart to let go of the problems and help us live in peace. Imagine the kind of faith we need to have for a problem to turn into a solving miracle. Surrender your ego selflessly to God. He will take care of granting your wish. First develop positive

They put in human efforts being born on the earth as a human being and faced challenges in multitude despite living an exemplary life of a human being.

I am asking you since you are very much interested in these spiritual things.” That was very fascinating for me since, going to Manasarovar was like a dream for me from my childhood that I never thought humans could literally go in person. I didn’t even know where it existed on the earth. We heard from mom in our childhood several times that the Manasarovar Lake arose from the mind of Lord Brahma at the spur of the moment. I knew it was an almost impossible th
