Faith cannot be strong if experience is not strong

How is this possible.. somehow right from this sunday the word "prapadyante" has been hitting left , right and center.. BG 7.14 and 7.15 has it.. these are the verses i took at spandan.. the english translation of this word is surrender.. both the places prabhupada has translated this.
once again came across this word today mrng in SB 2.7.47, here atleast it was surrender to devotees which seems to be more practical. Then once again read BTS lecture today "The nine fold process of full surrender".. don't know why this word had to come..
Don't remember where , but its said that HE gives whatever is required.. perhaps he is giving the sign that boy better surrender.. but then again yes .. surrender only possible if faith is strong.. surrender to any person/ any damn thing ( now some of you may not like this.. but doesn't matter if u like or not) is only possible if faith is there and the beauty is for a normal person like us faith only possible with experience. faith increases with experience.. its not a overnight process.. sometimes for some person it may take a second but for people like me .. u get some experience which builds the faith.
Ending today once again with a hope that tomorrow will be better and i will have more faith.. "So our faith can't continue to be strong if we're not seeing certain steps happening in our lives that are allowing us to keep on having that faith. And that is part of the role of the sastra to remind us, that is part of the role of sadhus to guide us and to show us, and especially mentors to provide the highest level of guidance. So this helps to keep us more determined that in despite of the leaves and the branches and the tree, to not to put too much attention in that while we are looking at the eye of the bird or looking for that very fine, fine goal that's accessible. Any questions or any comments that anyone has? "
Think over it ..
