Faith

Faith:
Belief in God and faith in God are different. A belief is valueless if you don't test it and live by it. Belief converted into experience becomes faith. That's why the Prophet Malachi told us: "Prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Faith, or the intuitive experience of all truth, is present in the soul. It gives birth to human hope and the desire to achieve... Ordinary human beings knows practically nothing of this intuitive faith that latent in the soul, which is the secret wellspring of all our widest hopes.

Faith means knowledge and conviction that we are made in the image of God.

Faith has to be cultivated, or rather uncovered within us. It is there but has to be brought out.

10 Reasons to be with THE GURU

10 Reasons to be with THE GURU: 

It is a wondrous occasion for all of us to meet under one roof for the following reasons:

1. Be in the presence of our Guru and receive His wonderful healing and uplifting blessings

2. When we are with our Guru our consciousness not only expands and elevates but we also move upwards on the ladder of evolution faster than trying to climb alone

3. The Guru raises us and pulls us up to experience bliss, illumination and Divine Grace

4. When we are sitting in His presence it is easier for us to materialize our aspirations and goals - for the Guru is a fulfiller of wishes

5. How many people have the privilege and good Karma of having a highly developed Being such as our Guru as a physical Teacher and Guide

6. One Shakti Pat from our Guru is equal to 20 lifetimes of practice, we are told. In one weekend, the work that He does on us is equal to 5 years of work done by ourselves alone

7. The more we use His technology, the more we appreciate the absolute generosity He has showered on us by sharing esoteric technologies that have been kept secret for centuries

8. Grand Master Choa travels ceaselessly at great cost to His personal life and well being and surely we can honor Him by being present at His conventions and retreats to receive His Priceless Blessings

9. Let us not take Him for granted but make every effort to spend as much time as possible in His Presence when the opportunity is given to us

10. We must join together to express our love, respect and gratitude to our Guruji for all that He has done for us these past years and continues to do so without any expectations
