Shaa, the Last of the Ix Four.

The first of the preliminaries is the qualifications. And among these four, there are six. The sixth one is a shada, a firm faith in the teachings of the teaher and the scriptures. A firm faith means, i don't get it now, but if i persevere, i'll get it. It's not a you have to believe kind of thing. In fact, you must not believe. Ultimately, understanding is what is required.
