Of course it matters who or what you have faith in. You may have faith in a stone, but what will that faith in a stone do? You may have faith in a statue, you may have faith in a God who lives far away in distant skies. What will all this do? What matters is when we have faith in the power, the power of the God that lives in the temple of our heart, when we have faith in God and realize that the kingdom of God is within, when we have faith in that power that makes our heart beat, that faith in the very Soul within makes a difference, because then God is inside of us controlling our life and making us move forward on our spiritual journey till we are liberated and become one with God.
