Significance of Spiritual faith
In Vaishnavism, spiritual faith encompasses a profound belief in a higher power or spiritual truth. The Purana elaborates on this concept by describing spiritual faith as both trust in spiritual practices and teachings that lead individuals toward higher truths and as the guiding force of religious devotion influencing a householder's actions and intentions during ceremonies. This dual aspect emphasizes the importance of faith in both personal and communal spiritual life.
