Faith Quote by Dada Bhagwan
““Worldly life is a path of evolutionary development for all embodied living beings. It is a very long path. So in the past life, you kept moving and in this life, you keep moving. On this path, whatever knowledge you see, your faith gets established on that knowledge. That faith then manifests as an effect (roopak). In the next life, a different kind of knowledge is acquired, but the effect that manifests is from the knowledge of the past life! This gives rise to the delimma that, 'Why doesn't the effect that manifests come in accordance to the mind?' Whatever amount of knowledge is accumulated, that much delimma arises.””
