Faith

Q95: Swami!  You have complete faith in us.  But our faith in You is wavering.  It is not consistently steady and deep.  Why is this so?

Swami: "Eko vasi sarvabh utantaratma" God is in everyone moving about with different names and forms.  "Deho devalayah prokto jivo devas sanatanah", the body is the temple.  The individual jiva is none other than Deva, the ancient and eternal, sanatana.  It is only one God who has manifested Himself as many.  I am present in all of you.  Since I know this truth, I have faith in you.  But you consider yourself separate from Me and so your faith is not strong, deep and unwavering.  In fact, I can change you all by Myself.  But I don't.  I want to bring about your transformation through and by you.
