Story Time.
Once, there was a group of 10 friends. They were all travelling. Their Journey meant, they had to cross a river. One of them made boat arrangements & they crossed the river. After a slightly turbulent boat ride, one of them suggested, let's count if everybody is thr.

He started counting. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine.
Oh My God, we lost one of our mates. There are only Nine of us here.
Surprised, another one does the counting. Even he concluded. There are only nine of us here.

Like this, each one does the same act. Now the group is sad, they have lost a mate in the boat ride.
To the reader, we know - each of the men committed the same mistake. They didn't count Themselves.

Now, there was a Rishi Muni who saw this group of sad men. He was at the Bank of River to drink water.
He finishes drinking water and goes to the group.
Tell me what is your problem. Why are you all, sitting so sad and worried?

One of the Men, volunteers to narrate the whole story. Rishi Muni, patiently listens and does a quick count and understands the problem at hand.
He says "Son, count again"
The man says we did that already.
Rishi Muni assures "Trust me, count again"

Trusting Rishi Muni, this man begins to count again. This time using his Pointing-Finger.
One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine.
At Nine, Rishi Muni comes near him. Turns his Finger and places it on the Man himself (who was counting). And Muni says, TEN.

Rishi Muni concludes "Ten, the tenth man is you - tat tvam asi"
Surprised, everyone stands up and learns the reality and eventually learns about their little mistake.

Faith is like this 10th-Man. As the 10th Man, faith is always there.
It is just that in our quest to find our answers we often forget to look inwards. We forget that we are the Atman. We are everything.
AHAM BRAHMASAMI.
