Faith is a thing that precedes knowledge, not comes after knowledge. It is a glimpse of a truth which the mind has not yet seized as knowledge.

It is not by the intellect that one can progress in the Yoga but by psychic and spiritual receptivity – as for knowledge and true understanding, it grows in sadhana by the growth of the intuition, not of the physical intellect.
