The Secret of Faqir

Faqir Chand says that you have to look to yourself to find the answers to your questions or problems. You should not look to a God or a higher power but rather to yourself. This is because you cannot find any answers through these sources but you can only find them in yourself. When looking to these outward sources you will not be able to get an actual response from them but the response actually comes from within. The best answers are already in you, you just have to search for them within your own mind. Outward sources only lead you to the answer that already resides within you.

I don’t think I completely agree with this statement but there are some valid points that can be made from this. Many of the problems that people have can be solved without the help of others if time is taken to think about the problem and what the solution to the problem could be. Many times when someone goes to someone else for help they will listen to the advice of the other person and will realize that they already knew that but did not want to accept that answer or wanted to hear it from someone else before they would accept that as the answer they conclude with. Most advice is usually affirming something someone knows rather than insight into something new that was not thought of previously.
