108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 63 -

Mysterious are the ways of the Divine. It is difficult to comprehend how the

Divine grace works. There are innumerable instances of God coming to the rescue

of His devotees in times of need. Saint Kabir was a weaver by profession. One

day he fell seriously ill and was unable to attend to his duties. The

all-merciful Lord, in the form of Kabir, wove yarn and thus came to his rescue.

Similarly, God came to the rescue of Gora Kumbhar by making pots Himself, in

times of distress. Sakkubai was an ardent devotee of Lord Panduranga. One day

she could not perform her daily chores as she was running high temperature.

Even under these circumstances her husband and mother-in-law would not allow

her to take rest. At this juncture, Lord Panduranga assumed the form of

Sakkubai and performed all her duties. It is indeed

difficult to understand how, when and where God comes to the rescue of His

devotees. Absolute faith in God is essential for Him to manifest.
