You will have faith in God when you have yourself discovered that this Universe must have a Creator and Protector who runs the show. To firmly grasp that idea, your heart must be very pure, your mind must be clear. To achieve this, performing your ordained duties (karma) sincerely is very essential. The scriptures delve in a detailed manner the methods to perform one’s duties. Of the hundred parts in the Vedas, 80 are for Duty (Karma), 16 for Worship (Upasana) and four for Wisdom (Jnana). Wisdom is the final destination in the journey. Karma has to be done in order to educate the impulses and train your feelings. Then you develop the attitude of upasana, of humility before the great Unknown, and finally, you realise that the only reality is you, which is the same as He.
