The faith of every man, O Arjuna, accords with his nature. Man is made up
of faith; as is his faith, so is he.
The threefold austerity [of body, speech, and mind] practiced with faith
by men of balanced mind, without any expectation of reward, is said to be
pure.
Without faith, whatever offering or gift is made or work done or penance
performed, it is reckoned "not-being" both now and hereafter.
(The Bhagavat Gita)
