Of Light and Darkness-2

Doubts and faiths both have their domains in darkness . Suppose you are in dire need of money . Your neighbour has money but does not lend it to you . Your brother brings you money by stealing it from from your neighbour's house . Long afterwards you have money and someone steals your money . You don't know who has stolen your money . There is ignorance and so there is doubt . You may doubt your brother because you have known that he is a thief . You may doubt your neighbour because he would have planned a revenge . Long afterwards you are again in dire need of money . Your brother has always helped you under such circumstances . You have faith in your brother . However , you don't know what he will do . Faiths and doubts are of the similar substance . They are based on some proofs .Positive doubts are faiths ,negative faiths are doubts . Strong faiths need strong proofs .Vivekananda would believe the words of one who had seen God and Chanakya said that the power that filled the udder of a cow before the birth of its calf was God . Such faiths cannot be forsaken easily because the are based on great proofs .
