Trust and Faith

Gourasana states that if you do not have trust in God, if you do not have faith in God, you are in hell – because to be separate from God is hell. And without trust and faith, there is no spiritual life, no connection to God, no movement. Everything depends on this.

In this seminal talk, Gourasana, expounds upon the central role of trust and faith in spiritual life, describing them as essential to maintaining a living connection with God and to moving forward on the spiritual path.

Goursana reveals many aspects about trust and faith, including:

• What is meant by the words “trust” and “faith,”
• He explains that the efforts of sincere spiritual seekers are never wasted, even when they participated in spiritual organizations that may have contained darkness. Every one of these people has developed a spiritual bank account that remains, waiting to be tapped.
• To keep moving, we must go beyond the mind’s desire to understand everything before acting; we must find deeper trust.
• We cannot judge our spiritual advancement by whether what we are getting matches our concept of what it should be.
• Throughout the talk, Gourasana emphasizes the need to develop greater trust, surrender, and a willingness to follow guidance in order to work through the many layers of fear, darkness, and illusion that separate us from God.
