Aphorism - 255, 256, 257

255—So long as a cause has on its side one soul that is intangible in faith, it cannot perish.

256—Reason gives me no basis for this faith, thou murmured. Fool! if it did, faith would not be needed or demanded of thee.

Page 287

257—Faith in the heart is the obscure and often distorted reflection of a hidden knowledge. The believer is often more plagued by doubt than the most inveterate sceptic. He persists because there is something subconscient in him which knows. That tolerates both his blind faith and twilit doubts and drives towards the revelation of that which it knows.

Is it good to have a "blind faith" which neither questions nor reasons?

What men usually call blind faith is in fact what the Divine Grace sometimes gives to those whose intelligence is not developed enough to have true knowledge. So blind faith can be something very respectable, although it is of course clear that one who has true knowledge is in a far superior position.

To which plane does faith belong—mental or psychic?

Faith is an exclusively psychic phenomenon.
