Faith can be of two types.
One is faith on oneself and
The other is faith in God.
A person who believes in his own ability,
Possesses boldness and selflessness,
Has his faith on himself.
There are others, who fear,
Cannot take care of themselves,
Start believing in super power.
Believing in higher power
Is not incorrect faith parse.
Human, in the very form, is finite,
So his power is limited bodily.
One is bound to accept this.
Faith which is not based
On reasoning is wrong.
If finite man can discover
Infinite God in himself, then only
Both types of faith coincide to one.

I like your take on the quote. You have given the reader thoughts to think about. I guess I never thought about there being two kind of faith, and somewhere down the road in one's life they must come together.
Thanks for entering and good luck!!!
Hugs!!!
