the form of faith whose moments stretch in the two directions mentioned is amply present in
the social reality of today. And it is the quintessence of all these aspects of faith, which I
concretely posit as a higher objective for the spiritual plane at large. This culminates
ultimately in the Faith for life with the purpose of realizing the other high objectives of
mankind. Peace, perfection and culture, which in turn will lead us to the longed harmony in
society and the intellectual individual mind at its highest level of intelligence based on reason
and logic, which is again itself not devoid of faith for a still higher purpose; a higher purpose
beyond human dimension, with which only the mind can and may prepare itself - if not
endowed by nature and historical process in its substance, as some may be - a ready mind at
least in the will,
The will for a healthy human conscience to live with one’s neighbor;
The will for a state of peaceful existence;
The will to learn and progress towards perfection;
The will to appreciate the development of human culture in its diversity and complexity;
And never the arrogance of superiority in an inhuman uniformity, negating the very nature of
life or pseudo equality in a uniformity of life, for the purpose of manipulating man. Can you
make out of a cactus tree a eucalyptus, or is it better and wiser to make their common soil
fertile? The faith in Harmony is not a belief in uniformity like religions of this or that color
may propagate. On the contrary, it is a state of existence with diversity and complexity as its
prerequisites. It is with this conception that Faith is presented as one of the four high
objectives of life in harmony. Faith as the crème de la crème emanating out of the healthy
human conscience, the non-dogmatic section of religion and the philosophical faith based on
the intellect.
