- O Arjuna! There is only one faith and thought for those who practice this Karma Yoga. The minds of others are divided into various branches, and their thoughts and speculations are endless. (2.41)
- Those men who, with faith and free from ill-will, practice this teaching of mine, are also freed from the bondage of action. (3.31)
- He who is full of faith and zeal and has subdued his senses obtains Knowledge; having obtained Knowledge, he soon attains the Supreme Peace. (4.39)
- But the man who is ignorant and without faith and always doubting goes to ruin. Not this world nor the world beyond nor happiness is for the doubting soul. (4.40)
- Arjun said: What is the fate of the unsuccessful yogi who begins the path with faith, but who does not endeavor sufficiently, due to unsteady mind, and is unable to reach the goal of Yog in this life? (6.37)
- Even among yogis, he who worships Me with mind fixed in Me, full of faith, is deemed by me to be the most devout. (6.47)
- Whatever may be the form a devotee seeks to worship with faith— in that form alone I make his faith unwavering. (7.21)
- Possessed of that faith, he worships that form and from it attains his desires, which are, in reality, granted by Me alone. (7.22)
- People who have no faith in this dharma are unable to attain Me, O conqueror of enemies. They repeatedly come back to this world in the cycle of birth and death. (9.3)
- Even those devotees who, endowed with faith, worship other gods, worship Me alone, Ο son of Kunti, though in a wrong way. (9.23)
- The Lord said: With mind established in Me, ever steadfast in their devotion, endowed with the highest faith, those who worship Me, they are in my opinion, the best of yogis. (12.2)
- Who, with faith having Me as their goal follow this immortal and nectar-like Dharma as declared above, such devotees are most dear to Me. (12.20)
- Arjuna said: When men sacrifice to the gods with faith but discard the injunctions of the scriptures, what is the nature of their devotion, Ο Krishna? Is it sattva, rajas, or tamas? (17.1)
- The Lord said: The faith of men, born of their individual natures, is of three kinds. It is characterized by sattva, rajas, or tamas. Hear now concerning it. (17.2)
- The faith of each man is in accordance with his natural disposition. A man, Ο Bhārata, is made of his faith; what his faith is, that verily he is. (17.3)
- And that sacrifice which is not performed according to the scriptural rules, and in which no food is distributed, no hymns are chanted, and no fees paid, and which is devoid of faith, is said to be of the nature of tamas. (17.13)
- This threefold austerity practised with supreme faith by steadfast men, without the desire for fruit, is said to be of the nature of sattva. (17.17)
- Whatever sacrifice or gift is made, whatever austerity is practised, whatever ceremony is observed— it is all called “asat,” “non-existent,” if it is done without faith. It is of no account here or hereafter. (17.28)
- Control of the internal and external organs, austerity, purity, forgiveness, integrity, knowledge of the Sastras, direct experience of the truth, faith in God, Guru and the Scriptures are the duties of the Brahmins born of their own nature. (18.42)
- (O Arjuna !) Listen again to My supreme word, the profoundest of all. You are dear to me and faithful. Therefore I shall tell you what is for your good (18.64)
- And the man who hears this, full of faith and free from malice, even he shall attain the happy worlds of the righteous, freed from all evil. (18.71)
