How can one increase in faith?
You must strive. A child does not know, in learning he obtains knowledge. search for Truth.

There are three kinds of Faith: first, that which is
from tradition and birth. For example: a child is
born of Muhammadan parents, he is a Muhammadan.
This faith is weak traditional faith: second,
that which comes from Knowledge, and is the faith
of understanding. This is good, but there is a
better, the faith of practice. This is real faith.

We hear there is an invention, we believe it is
good; then we come and see it. We hear that there
is wealth, we see it; we work hard for it, and
become rich ourselves and so help others. We
know and we see the Light, we go close to it, are
warmed by it, and reflect its rays on others; this is
real faith, and thus we receive power to become
the eternal sons of God.
