Very interesting! Pranam Faith is determinable as per B G. *Bhagavad Gita,
Chapter XVII)*
"Arjuna said, 'What is the state, O Krishna, of those who abandoning the
ordinance of the scriptures, perform sacrifices endued with faith? It is
one of Goodness, or Passion, or Darkness?' {SATVA, Rajas and Thamasa}
"The Holy One said, 'The faith of embodied (creatures) is of three kinds.
It is (also) born of their (individual) natures.
It is good, passionate, and dark.
Hear now these.
The faith of one, O Bharata, is conformable to his own
nature. A being here is full of faith; and whatever is one's faith, one is
even that. They that are of the quality of goodness worship the gods; they
that are of the quality of passion (worship) the *Yakshas* and the
*Rakshasas*; other people that are of the quality of darkness worship
departed spirits and hosts of *Bhutas*. Those people who practise severe
ascetic austerities not ordained by the scriptures, are given up to
hypocrisy and pride, and endued with desire of attachment, and violence,--those
persons possessed of no discernment, torturing the groups of organs in
(their) bodies and Me also seated within (those) bodies,--should be known
to be of demoniac resolves.
Food which is dear to all is of three kinds. Sacrifice, penance, and gifts
are likewise (of three kinds). Listen to their distinctions as follows.
Those kinds of food that increase life's period, energy, strength,
health, well-being, and joy, which are savoury, oleaginous, nutritive, and
agreeable, are liked by God. Those kinds of food which are bitter, sour,
salted, over-hot, pungent, dry, and burning, and which produce pain, grief
and disease, are desired by the passionate. The food which is cold, without
savour, stinking and corrupt, and which is even refuse, and filthy, is dear
to men of darkness.
That sacrifice is good which, being prescribed by the ordinance, is
performed by persons, without any longing for the fruit (thereof) and the
mind being determined (to it under the belief) that its performance is a
duty.
But that which is performed in expectation of fruit and even for the
sake of ostentation, know that sacrifice, O chief of the sons of Bharata,
to be of the quality of passion.
vidhi-hīnam // asṛṣṭānnaṁ // mantra-hīnam// adakṣiṇam//
śraddhā-virahitaṁ yajñaṁ tāmasaṁ paricakṣate. (B G 17 13) : Any Yagnam
performed without regard for the directions of scripture, without
distribution of prasādam [spiritual food], without chanting of Vedic hymns
and Dhakshina to the worthy performers, , and without faith is considered
to be in the mode of ignorance. (Darkness).
Reverence to the gods, regenerate ones, preceptors, and men of
knowledge, purity, uprightness, the practices of a *Brahmacharin*, and
abstention from injury, are said to constitute the penance of the body.
The speech which causeth no agitation, which is true, which is
agreeable and beneficial, and the diligent study of the *Vedas*, are said
to be the penance of speech.
Serenity of the mind, gentleness, taciturnity, self-restraint, and
purity of the disposition,--these are said to be the penance of the mind.
This three-fold penance performed with perfect faith, by men without
desire of fruit, and with devotion, is said to be of the quality of
goodness. That penance which is performed for the sake of (gaining)
respect, honour, and reverence, with hypocrisy, (and) which is unstable and
transient is said to be of the quality of passion.
That penance which is performed under a deluded conviction, with
torture of one's self, and for the destruction of another, is said to be of
the quality of darkness.
दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे । देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं
स्मृतम् ॥ २० ॥ dātavyam iti yad dānaṁ dīyate ’nupakāriṇe deśe kāle ca
pātre ca
tad dānaṁ sāttvikaṁ smṛtam Charity given out of duty, without expectation
of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is
considered to be in the mode of goodness. That gift which is given because
it ought to be given, to one who cannot return any service for it, in a
proper time, and to a proper person, is said to be of the quality of
goodness. That, however, which is given reluctantly, for return of services
(past or expected), or even with an eye to fruit,--that gift is said to be
of the quality of passion. In an unfit place and at an unfit time, the gift
that is made to an unworthy object, without respect, and with contempt, is
said to be of the quality of darkness.
OM, TAT, SAT, this is said to be the three-fold designation of
*Brahma*.
By that (*Brahma*), the Brahmanas and the Vedas, and the Yagnams, were
ordained of old. Therefore, uttering the syllable OM, the Yagnam ,
Dhakshina , and penances, prescribed by the ordinance, of all utterers of
*Brahma* begin.
Uttering TAT, the various rites of yagnam, penance, and dhakshina ,
without expectation of fruit, are performed by those that are desirous of
deliverance.
SAT is employed to denote existence and goodness. Likewise, O son of
Pritha, the word SAT is used in any auspicious act. Constancy in yagnas, in
penances and in dhakshinas , is also called *SAT*, and an act, too, for the
sake of *That* is called SAT. 1
<https://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m06/m06041.htm#fn_290> Whatever oblation
is offered (to the fire), whatever is given away, whatever penance is
performed, whatever is done, without faith, is, O son of Pritha, said to be
the opposite of SAT; and that is nought both here and hereafter. ASAT is
nonexistence. KR IRS 10622
