Acharya Prashant explains that faith is not an act of thought, memory, or conditioning, nor is it something done for protection or self-aggrandizement. He distinguishes faith from belief by stating that belief always has an object; one believes *on* something. If trust has an object, it is merely belief. Faith, in contrast, simply is. It is object-independent and not reliant on any person, occurrence, or reason. Faith is the state of being alright without an objective reason to be alright. Faith is described as another name for a totally fulfilled Self. When the Self is fulfilled, it does not bother. This state can be seen as a surrender of one's botherations to a reliable, dependable force, which the speaker metaphorically calls 'Ram'. This 'Ram' is not an object but an abstraction for the formless, the one who cannot falter. Therefore, faith is being alright whether one is rescued or not. In contrast, belief is conditional, such as thinking, "I will be rescued because my friend will come." The speaker cites a couplet by Kabir Saheb: "The whole world is happy, it eats and sleeps. The servant Kabir is sad, he is awake and weeps." He explains that the awakened one (jaage) weeps (roye) out of a deep concern for the world, whereas a common person is only concerned with themselves. This illustrates that the awakened person is not devoid of emotions or desires; rather, their desires are holy and not for personal gain. The nature of their emotions is dimensionally different. This leads to the point that one should not judge saints by preconceived external conduct. People often have a conditioned image of what an enlightened person looks like, which allows fraudsters to imitate these signs. The speaker emphasizes that what is common among all saints is their inner awakening, not their external behavior. Saints are deeply human and may display various emotions, but the source and nature of these emotions are different. The proof of God, or Ram, is the peace and fearlessness of the one who has faith, like Tulsidas, who could sleep soundly because he had surrendered his worries to Ram.
