The Bhagavad Gita (4.39) says Shraddhā leads to knowledge, and knowledge brings peace.
Unlike the idea that “faith is blind,” this is faith shaped by understanding.
The Viveka Chudamani takes it further – Shraddhā isn’t just belief aka faith, it’s the bridge to realization.
Sanskrit, when broken into dhatus (root syllables carrying meaning), uncovers deeper truths, such as here with Shrat + Dha.
When we truly listen, language itself can guide us.
But how do we develop this deep inner knowing?
