That means they are not liberated. Faith is needed. What is called faith? What is called faith? Not getting tired. Not getting tired is called faith. If there is faith, one does not get tired. And if there is no faith, even if all the strength is there, one gets tired. So, one does not feel tired at all. Promptness is called faith. Promptness. When a new project comes up and it is asked, "Who will do this?" then, "Give it to me, I will do it." But not just running. But also completes it. Faith has the power to complete it. And if it is not completed, then that faith is less. It is said to be less. It is not complete. So, that is called faith. Promptness is called faith. To grab it quickly. If there are five or ten people, and there is a talk about who will do it, then before everyone else, that brother Nayar. He raises his hand first. He raises his hand first. "I will do it." And he does it. Who takes the challenge? So, he takes the challenge. So, that is called faith. What is called trust? What is called trust? Trust means what he said is believed to be true. What he said is believed to be true. If there is something of one's own, in the other person. Believing the other person to be true is called trust. What is the difference between blind faith and real trust? In blind faith, even if there is no alignment with scriptures or anything, one still believes it to be true. Even if there is no matching, one still believes it to be true, that is blind faith. Say it again. Even if there is no matching with scriptures or people, one still believes his words to be true, that is blind faith. So, the meaning of blind faith is that it does not align with the scriptures. In reality, does trust happen by seeing or without seeing? Initially, the beginning of trust happens without seeing. Trust is mostly in the other person. Faith, its activity is within oneself. It is in the seeker. The activity of faith is in the seeker. And the activity of trust is in the other person. It is in the other person. When other people say, and it is believed, then that is called trust, right? But if they say something wrong and even that is believed, then it is called blind faith. Now, in that, if one does not have experience, how can they know if it is true or false? Huh? So, in the Ramayana, it is said very nicely. Trust is, is it blind or seeing? Trust is indeed blind. That is what is called trust, right? In trust, are the eyes to be closed or opened? That means the inner eyes are to be opened. Huh? Even if opened, they are to be closed. That is called trust. Lord Shiva is said to be the form of trust. Shraddha Vishwas Rupinau. Shraddha Vishwas Rupinau. Parvatiji is said to be the form of faith. And Lord Shiva is the form of trust. How many eyes does Lord Shiva have? Three. Three eyes. And when to open the third eye? When someone does not do things properly. When there is trouble. When there is trouble and one wants to see, then the third eye is to be opened. So, in short, where trust is to be kept, when an occasion of trust comes, there he opens it and sees. Whether it is correct or not? And when it comes to worldly dealings, there? There is no need for it. There, he opens those two eyes. But where the talk of trust comes, there he opens the third eye and sees. Kamadeva came in front of Lord Shiva, and Rama came in front of Lord Shiva. Both. Rama gave darshan darshan Seeing. To see with admiration and devotion. To see Bhagvãn, a sat-purush, and murtis, with inner or outer vision, with the intention of receiving their grace and blessings. By doing darshan properly a bhakta develops affection for Bhagvãn, and Bhagvãn develops affection for that bhakta. [Sãrangpur – 2]. Tap to open in glossary → And while he was in meditation, Kamadeva was also seen. So, Lord Shiva opened the third eye, and since it was Kamadeva, he was burnt. And since it was Rama, he became attached to Him. If such a procedure happens, then that trust is said to be true. If one gets attached to the false and runs away from the true, then it is called blind faith. By what does trust happen? Huh? By what does trust happen? It is said, from faith. Faith is the mother of all. And see, what is the form of faith? So, what did Parvatiji say? "Even if I have to struggle for tens of millions of births, I will marry Shambhu or remain unmarried." "I may take ten million births." "And perform penance for ten million births." That is called faith. "I will not get tired for ten million births for Lord Shiva," that is what it means. "I will not get tired for ten million births." So, that is called faith. We only look at ten or twelve hours. Tiredness is mental. Physical tiredness is very less. 75% is mental. 5-10% is physical. And physical tiredness, again, after eating and drinking, and sleeping, it is gone. And mental tiredness, does it go away by eating? One who has felt mental tiredness, who is constantly irritated, does that go away by eating and drinking or by sleeping? It does not go away by sleeping. So, tiredness is mostly mental. And one who does not feel mental tiredness, that is called faith. And if one does not feel tired, then he performs some effort, and when the result of the effort comes, he gets trust. When the result of the effort comes, "Last time I made a vow," "and then Maharaj fulfilled it," then now will he do it a second time or not? He will, he has got trust. So, what is that called? Trust has come. Trust has come, now Maharaj will do it. If Maharaj has fulfilled our resolve, He does it once, twice, five times, then he feels that Maharaj is bound to do it. So, that is called trust. But his assumption is that He will definitely do it, then sometimes the trusted buffalo also gives birth to a male calf. Born. If this trust has become useless, then one has to see with the third eye. To see with the eye of experience. The third eye means experience. That is called the eye of wisdom. That is called the eye of experience. To see with the eye of experience whether this makes everyone prosperous or only some people? Then to trust Him. And trusting means trust. Trust is not blind. It is to be made blind knowingly. Lord Shiva had three eyes. He always keeps that third eye closed. And keeps two open, right? When He wants to sleep? Then He closes both. He closes these as well. Unless He closes these two, sleep does not come. Until He closes them, it does not come. Thus, once having seen with the third eye, then that is to be closed. And keeping on seeing with the third eye, one keeps trust. These two eyes being closed means trust is kept. So, whatever He says is believed. To believe so. But to believe directly or to believe after opening the third eye? To believe after opening the third eye. If believed after opening the third eye, it is called trust. If all three are closed, then blind faith. In this world, if some small or big incident happens, one's work gets done, self-interest is fulfilled, based on that, trust comes. That is why it is said to open the third eye. Nishkulanand Swami Nishkulanand Swami Disciple of Sahajanand Swami (Swaminarayan Bhagwan) and author of the Bhaktachintamani, as stated in the scripture's own closing colophon at the end of every chapter. Tap to open in glossary → to see him again and again. The third eye is always open. But when some change, some change, but like movement happens. Change happens, movement happens, so it opens. Otherwise, it remains closed. If there is no movement, the opened eye closes. When movement happens, it opens to see whether right or wrong? This movement, how reasonable is it? He sees it. Having seen, then it is done. Reasonable? Okay, then that is done. Forward it moves. How reasonable from God's perspective? From our perspective, sometimes we find everything reasonable or unreasonable. How reasonable is it from God's perspective? How reasonable is it from the perspective of scriptures? And how much opposition is there from the perspective of scriptures? In that, he sees the suitability or unsuitability. Having seen, then trust. Like that. Yes, Maharaj.
