Faith is a journey that starts with belief and culminates in discovering truth. Along the way, it involves sincere experimentation.

Will Arjuna pass up the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the Truth conveyed directly by the Lord Himself? When the Lord is present right in front of him, what more could he possibly seek?
