Faith ~ HOPE

I am happy to see hope because it shows the existence of faith. Without faith, one cannot hope because, to my mind, hope is an attitude evolving out of the inner faith in the heart. And the way hope is exhibited is in one's ability to wait. It is nothing but faith which gives patience and I am, therefore, always happy to see hope featuring in abhyasis' (aspirants; those who practice yoga in order to achieve union with God) letters. May your faith grow and grow.
