"…Shriji Mahãrãj continued, "I shall now briefly explain the characteristics of a person with profoundly firm faith, so please listen attentively. Firstly, even if he has intense renunciation, a person with perfect faith will do any task on the path of pravrutti asked of him, without ever backing away. Moreover, he does not do it reluctantly; he does it willingly. The second characteristic is that regardless of any swabhãv he may possess - even if it cannot be eradicated by a million means - if he senses God's insistence in forsaking that swabhãv, he forsakes it immediately. The third characteristic is that despite his own drawbacks, he is unable to live without the discourses and devotional songs related to God, and without the Sant of God even for a moment. He finds faults only within himself and thoroughly imbibes the virtues of the Sant. He also understands the great glory of the discourses and devotional songs of God, as well as of the Sant of God. A person with such understanding should be known to have perfect faith…"
