Faith indeed tells what the senses do not tell, but not the contrary of what they see. It is above them and not contrary to them.

Faith certainly tells us what the senses do not, but not the contrary of what they see; it is above, not against them.

The patient's autonomy always, always should be respected, even if it is absolutely contrary - the decision is contrary to best medical advice and what the physician wants.

The little may contrast with the great, in painting, but cannot be said to be contrary to it. Oppositions of colors contrast; but there are also colors contrary to each other, that is, which produce an ill effect because they shock the eye when brought very near it.
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.

Stance on Faith
Faith seeks to follow Him
Even through darkest night
And brightest daylight
Faith seeks to do His will
Though contrary to commonsense
And all sound judgment
Faith seeks veracity
And not reasons
Faith stands steadfast
On God’s declaration

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 10
It is a mistake to accept advice from an enemy but permissible to hear it; and to act contrary to it is perfectly correct.
Be cautious of what a foe tells thee to do
Lest thou strike thy knee with the hand of pain.
If he points thy way to the right like an arrow
Deflect therefrom and take that to the left hand.
Alankar(Decor) -60

The Exhausted
Born and grown somewhere
Put up in wedlock elsewhere
To serve purposeful
Potioned treat but thrusts in mire
Sinking lotus dying slow
What A Contrary..
What a contrary
Lord of fire boarding ice mount
Ice-fire bond up-signed
Born is Ganga to board drought
What a contrary
Plunge, A Diving Deep
Plunge, a diving deep
Calm that river contented
Deep is her wisdom
Flow on with her waves bubbly
Propelled her way by all odds
Shopping
Women are crazy
If you say, I won't agree
What you feel wrong, tell
Don't men go on fashion spree
Yes, men crazy too
Banyan
What wonder you fan
We know of prophets godly
swaying monkey-souls
Pray be gripped rooted your shade
Be routed night alike
Boulder
Massive and mighty
But might roll down windy sharp
Yet majestic stands
Carved with histories
Brave and bold aeonian

Sonnet 8
the madman who thinks you to possess
by bending will to his own consent,
seeking thereby to force love's access,
doing injury to love, love does absent.
foolish prove he who does by storm
a conquest launch in desire of you:
he does to himself and you this harm-
love he stains with a selfish view.
your will no possession by force affords,
no access by he who would conquest will,
yet he who your contrary will so disbars
is wise, will contrary to love to kill!
mad, foolish, wise; such and so am i;
more foolish than wise, i cannot deny.

Choose Good Above All, but take what comes.
Plant your wish in the soil of faith,
Give it to God, relax, let it go and wait.
If it was meant for you it will come to you,
If it doesn't, it is not for you, do not become blue.
If you believe that God supplies all your need,
There is no place for disappointment if you don't succeed.
You will be supplied all things, even more then necessary,
Remember always you do not see or get what you want,
Only what you need for your lessons, nothing contrary.
When you have the faith in life, but not in malediction,
Only health, good living and contentment comes, no other deception.
Purposely open your mind for everlasting true happiness,
Whatever comes, call everything 'good' & all will turn into loveliness.

Mother Mary
People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' through the trees
Makin' no sense at all
Meanin' nothing to me
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' crack me up
They have no clue
What it's like to be me
What it's like to lose you
Mother Mary, I grow weary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
People talkin' sound like dogs
Barkin' up the wrong tree
Take a good man down
And set the evil free
Mother Mary, quite contrary
I did not mean to
Let you go so quick
