The Shape of Your Faith · Born From Inner Nature
Meaning
"The Blessed Lord said: The faith of embodied beings is of three kinds, born of their own nature — sattvic, rajasic, and tamasic; hear about it."
Explanation
Even something as personal and instinctive as faith isn't random, Krishna says — it takes shape according to a person's inner nature. Understanding what shapes your own faith is a useful step toward refining it.
