Partial Faith

Partial faith is the condition when you have an idea, a notion and a little information, but you don’t have complete conviction. You are prone to make some errors due to this situation.. It is not because you want to make errors. It is just because your understanding is not complete. In this way, partial faith is not an obstacle on the path of development. It is rather a test. You still have all the chances. By further inquiry we can get more and more realization and reach full faith. “Full” faith, though it is a relative term here, meaning that you are fully satisfied with what you have learned and what you believe in. This should be proved by the Holy Scriptures and by saints. Then it will not be speculative.
