Poetry about Belief

 

What is belief?
A flight into the realm of fulness.
What is disbelief?
A plunge into the abysmal abyss
Of useless nothingness.

~

God will be ready to convince you
Only when your own belief in Him
Is strong
And not when you are plying
Your life-boat
Between trust and mistrust.

~

To have no belief is to suffer.
The world suffers from lack of belief
In the Pilot within.
To have wrong belief is to suffer.
The world suffers from wrong belief
About the Pilot within.

~

There was a time when I enjoyed
My mind’s disbelief-storms.
But now I am enjoying
My heart’s belief-dawn,
Belief-morning
And belief-day.

~

Doubt enters into belief
In total disguise
To ruin belief and destroy aspiration.
Belief enters into doubt
To illumine doubt
For God-worship.

– Sri Chinmoy
