Ask for faith

Faith is the one true source of support on which we can always rely in the rough and tough journey called life upon this earth.

By Dada JP Vaswani
A scientist, a visionary, a well-read scholar, an educationist, widely referred to as a living saint, Dada JP Vaswani, the current spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission was born on August 2, 1918, in a pious Sindhi family in Sindh, Pakistan. Dada’s inclination to pursue a life of spirituality led him to forgo a promising academic career and follow the footsteps of his master, also his uncle, Sadhu TL Vaswani.

Spearheading the Mission, a non-sectarian, social welfare institution, Dada has relentlessly spread his master’s message of love, compassion, simplicity and service through his own example. Furthering one of the tenets of ‘reverence for all,’ Dada enlisted globally, November 25, Sadhu Vaswani’s birthday, as the International Meatless Day.

Dada’s birthday, August 2, is celebrated as Global Forgiveness Day with 2 pm designated as the Moment of Calm—a time to forgive and seek forgiveness.

Having authored over 150 books, Dada expounds the philosophy of universal brotherhood and love. Approaching the age of 100, Dada’s spirit remains ever-youthful, fresh and radiant, as he carries the flame of peace, love and compassion around the globe.

When I address Youth Meets or have a question-answer session with students, I am often asked this question: what is the one gift that you would ask of God if He were to appear before you and grant you a single boon?

Never mind what I would ask: if such a happy event were to befall you, I would strongly urge you to ask God for the great gift of faith!

Faith is the spirit that sustains life. Faith is the ray of sunshine that lights up the dark, deep caverns of the human heart. Faith is the elixir of the soul. Faith is the beautiful, fragrant flower that blooms even in the wilderness of despair and suffering.
