Faith is a state of openness or trust.

To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don't grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.

If you cannot trust yourself, you cannot even trust your mistrust of yourself - so that without this underlying trust in the whole system of nature you are simply paralyzed

And the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.

But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.
