Acharya Prashant defines faith as the willingness to move in the total absence of knowledge and assurance. He distinguishes faith from trust and belief, noting that trust relies on past experience and reason, while belief is often a self-centered projection that keeps one within a self-created prison. Faith, conversely, is the unthinkable act of leaving oneself in the hands of the unknowable. It is a state of being helpless not due to pressure, but due to love. He explains that there are only two modes of living: fear or faith. Fear often masks itself as ambition, duty, responsibility, or security, but it remains fear. To live without faith is to live in an alien land with a constant fear of being deported, which is the fear of death. Acharya Prashant asserts that faith is the natural state of a human being and cannot be cultivated. He argues that we already possess faith, as evidenced by our ability to breathe, sit, or exist without constant concern for self-preservation. He explains that while fear is nourished through conditioned choices, faith is always present beneath those clouds. He advises against trying to learn faith as a new skill, suggesting instead that one should stop actively supporting and nourishing fear. To have faith is to live in the assurance that one is always part of existence, thereby transcending the fear of time and death.
