Difference Between Outlook 

                                 There is a difference between faith and trust and similarly, there is a difference between knowledge and digestion thereon. One may have faith in somebody but may not have trust. It is strange but sometimes it becomes fact. 



                                  There are instances where you can find clear differences between them. Once there was a very great Artist who used to walk on the rope with his own baby son in his hands. It was a very thrilling show wherein people used to enjoy.  One day he requested his audience to offer one of their babies to exhibit his skill. He waited for a considerable time but nobody came forward from the audience to comply with his request. He was not happy but he told them that they have faith in his skill but have no trust in me. This instance shows the clear difference between faith and trust. 

                                    Arjun was very unhappy after the end of the Mahabharata War as he lost his Dearest son Abhimanyu.  Lord Krishna was observing that his friend Arjun was not happy while all were celebrating victory.  He advised him to come with him on pilgrimage to reduce his grief. They saw on the way a big crowd gathered around the body of one young man. Lord Krishna inquiries what happen?  Somebody from the crowd replied 'He died because of a serpent bite and added he was the only son of his parent. Therefore nobody is ready to convey this tragic news to his parent'.  Lord Krishna told Arjun' Let us do this difficult work of conveying this tragic news to his Parent'.

                                     Lord Krishna told Arjun' You have to do this work. They went to the Parent's place to inform them that their only son has died. First of the father of that young man came out ' Arjun told him that his son has died due to serpent's bite.' Old father stared at him and told 'He was a very good son and very popular among people for his good work. It is a God desire we can't help it.'  Arjun was shocked looking at the reaction father. Lord Krishna then said let go in the house and inform his mother. Arjun also gave the same sad news to his mother. Mother was seemed a little bit shocked but she said ' He was my most loving son. He used to give the best services to both of us. We will miss him but what to do. Nothing is our hand.' Arjun was disgusted with the Parent' reactions to the death of their only young son.  He told Lord Krishna 'Let us leave from here I cannot stand here.'

                                     Lord Krishna then took  Arjuna out and said  ' I had conveyed you 'Gita' for several days during the war of Mahabharat' but you have not digested.  While these old parents have digested the philosophy of Gita truly in their lives.

                            This shows the difference between knowledge and its digestion.
