[QUOTE="chazSingh, post: 201922, member: 17409"] faith is required in any walk of life where the end goal has not been achieved or the end goal can not entirely be seen or accountable by our 5 senses... have you reached the end goal that gurbani described. From your post, all i see is a thesaurus of words...faith can be intermingled with confidence...and also belief...also trust. they are not all mutually exclusive...things aren't that simple and clear cut. i will post a shabad below...contemplate at first the sorrow felt by guru ji...describing a lost soul searching for vision of Waheguru...and then the joy once it has been found...have you reached that end goal...is how you feel comparable to how Guru Ji describes? is the unstruck melody vibrating within your home (body)...can you hear it? commune with it? if not...by your words...you believe...have have faith, you have trust and confidence....use all the words...or use just one...it doesn't really matter does it? why pick on a single word... :) you are in essence saying the same thing... look at this result from a thesaurus: [SIZE=5][B] Synonyms for faith [/B][/SIZE] [I]noun[/I] [B]trust in something[/B] [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/acceptance'] acceptance [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/belief'] belief [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/confidence'] confidence [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/conviction'] conviction [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/hope'] hope [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/loyalty'] loyalty [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/truth'] truth [/URL] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/allegiance'] allegiance [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/assent'] assent [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/assurance'] assurance [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/certainty'] certainty [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/certitude'] certitude [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/constancy'] constancy [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/credence'] credence [/URL] [/LIST] [LIST] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/credit'] credit[/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/credulity'] credulity [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/dependence'] dependence [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/faithfulness'] faithfulness[/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/fealty'] fealty [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/fidelity'] fidelity [/URL] [*][URL='http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/reliance'] reliance [/URL] [/LIST] that's all you have done is use words that mean a very similar thing :) ... whats the purpose of this thread? :) lol r[B]aa[/B]g go[B]u[/B]rr[B]ee[/B] shha(n)th mehal[B]aa[/B] 5 [I]Raag Gauree, Chhant, Fifth Mehla:[/I] <> siqgur pRswid ] ik oa(n)kaar sath[B]i[/B]g[B]u[/B]r pras[B]aa[/B]dh || [I]One Universal Creator God.
