==Witnessing==
One who has unwavering faith has great power to effect the lives of others. Conversely, those who proselytize with great fervor and passion sometimes in truth have the weakest faith. Those who are strong in faith have need of few words, and when they speak to another, regardless of that person’s home base of faith, there is complete communication and understanding. Great persons of faith have always understood each other across the boundaries of their respective cultures. It is those who are weaker in faith who cling to its trappings as an anchor while those with true faith soar above all these things to grasp the spiritual reality of each individual. Human beings tend to cling to the lessor thing, to defend it, and hide within it because it is easier and takes less faith than soaring on the wings of faith into the thrilling unknown spiritual adventure that awaits all human beings. -. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-05-17-Witnessing#Lesson Ham]

==Abrasive Experience==
Never be afraid to go to the stone and make sparks in your endeavor to pursue the polished edge which you seek. It may only be attained through the grinding away of the unnecessary in order to achieve the point. Effort must be put forward, and you know you are making progress when the sparks are flying.
Cause the sparks of spirituality to fly. Do not fear that this is radical or too intense, as this is exactly the step to be taken in order to achieve the results. Don't shy away from the apparent abrasiveness, as you have come to realize in your own spiritual growth the benefits of the effort are far in excess of the apparent harshness of the process.- [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2001-06-10-Patterns_of_Duality#Cooperation Malvantra]
