The Leap of Faith
The leap of faith is a movement of consciousness that sees through appearances, that overwhelm or threaten, to the occult hands of love that are weaving these appearances. When those hands are seen, the fabric woven by them becomes a tenuous phantom. ‘The leap of faith’ is about landing firmly in the knowing that no person or personal will is the source of the perceived ill-will or threat. That the impersonal whole is constantly precipitating into the appearance of a person to fulfill, through the agency of the perceived ill-will, its eternal unchanging supreme goodwill! The term “ Sararambh Parityag ” (sacrifice all initiations), from the Gita, is to arrest the initiation of reaction to the appearance, to seize from locking horns with circumstances which are destined to be. Yet it is not a stoical resigned ceasefire on life. It is a surrender to a love, glimpsed secretly orchestrating the perception of being attacked only to liberate to set free. - Anahita Sanjana (India)
