A devotee brought his 17-year-old son for Swamishri's blessings. "Bapa! My son is very intelligent in his studies. But for the last six months he has stopped coming to the mandir."

"Why?" Swamishri asked.

"Because he does not believe in God," the devotee replied.

"Why don't you believe in God?" Swamishri asked the devotee's son.

"Because I haven't seen God," he replied.

"But you should have faith in someone who has seen Him. Did you see the astronauts land on the moon? Yet you believe it, don't you? Likewise you should also believe that there is a God. It is all a matter of faith. Once you start coming here you will gradually understand everything. Don't give up mentally and resign yourself. Ask the sadhus whenever you have any questions."
