30-Day Bhagavad Gita Study
Shraddha
Day 24
The Yoga of Faith
“One's faith corresponds to one's nature. The human being is made of faith — whatever their faith is, that is what they are.”
— BG 17.3
Chapter 17 introduces shraddha — faith — not as belief in a doctrine but as the orientation of the entire being. Your faith is revealed not by what you profess but by the patterns of your life: what you eat, how you worship, what and how you give. The three gunas shape even your faith.
