✅ Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17 Verse 3
श्रद्धामयोऽयं पुरुषो यो यच्छ्रद्धः स एव सः।
सत्त्वानुरूपा सर्वस्य श्रद्धा भवति भारत॥
✅ English Translation: Bhagavad Gita 17.3
O Arjuna, a person is made of faith. Whatever his faith is, that he indeed is. The faith of every individual conforms to his inner nature (his inherent quality of mind - sattva, rajas, or tamas).
✅ Explanation:
In this verse, Lord Krishna explains that faith (sraddha) is the very foundation of human identity and behavior.
Each person’s faith reflects their inner nature, whether it is sattvic, rajasic, or tamasic.
- Sattvic Faith: Seeks truth, purity, and goodness.
- Rajasic Faith: Seeks success, recognition, and pleasure.
- Tamasic Faith: Seeks comfort, laziness, or harmful indulgence.
✅ Real-life Example: Imagine three people giving charity:
- Sattvic Person: Donates quietly to help poor children get education, expecting nothing in return. Their faith is pure and rooted in compassion.
- Rajasic Person: Donates publicly so others will admire them or for tax benefits. Their faith is mixed with desire and ego.
- Tamasic Person: Donates money to harmful causes or out of pressure, without caring how it helps others. Their faith is clouded by ignorance.
Though all three perform the same action, charity, the quality of their faith defines who they truly are inside.
🌺 Essence:
You become what you deeply believe in.
Your faith shapes your thoughts, choices, and destiny.
Therefore, nurturing sattvic (pure and selfless) faith leads to clarity, peace, and spiritual growth.
