Faith is a perpetual action of man’s mind in
managing his spiritual progress by dealing with his doubts arising out of his
lack of awareness. It allows the man to transform himself courageously without
the fear of the unknown. It is not knowledge; it is a voluntary and spontaneous
action of human mind that helps him to know much of what he is incapable of
knowing.
Superstition
is exactly opposite of faith. It is a cowardly internal inaction or external
deactivation of part of human intellect that prevent the man to change. A
superstitious man cannot gain any knowledge; he stagnates, harms himself and others,
and, eventually degenerates.
Man-made
religions, often, in the enthusiasm of ensuring better compliance from the
human being; fail to guide him about the difference between faith and blind
faith (superstition). One must guard against such religious aberrations.
