That is why the tests that the believers then faced took the form of violence directed against them. The present age is an age of religious freedom. And so the tests that the believers will face today would take a different form. The tests that people of faith would face today would be mostly in the psychological sense— that is, conditions that threaten to provoke the ego, inflame feelings of hate, cause people to stray from the path of Truth, make people resentful, and many more such trying situations. In the face of such conditions what one should do is to save oneself from negative thinking and remain firmly established in positive thinking no matter what the circumstances may be. o The price that a person of faith has to pay for leading a principled life is the test of one’s faith.
