Guest guest Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 90 - You must dive deep into the sea to get the pearls. What good is it to dabble among the waves near the shore and swear that the sea has no pearls in it and that all tales of its existence are false. So also if you must realise the full fruit of this Avathaar, dive deep and get immersed in Sai Baba. Half-heartedness, hesitation, doubt, cynicism, listening to tales, all are of no avail. Concentrated complete faith---that alone can bring victory. This is true to any worldly activity, is it not? How much more true must it be, therefore in the spiritual field? But if you have already attached yourselves to some one Name and Form, do not change it, do not choose another in place of the prema swaruupam (embodiment of Love). A hundred people might come to your house and even treat you with affection, but you do not address them as Pappa or Daddy. Have your mind fixed on One; do not now and then allow clouds of doubt, like "Is He Great?Is He God?" to dim your faith. Be bold. Acknowledge the glory that you have witnessed; proclaim the joy that you have experienced; confess to the Grace that you have earned. When people ask you whether you too are going to Puttaparthi, for example, and whether you too are doing bhajana, say "Yes" proudly, for there is no shame in walking on the right path! – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 10.7.1959Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume I, Chapter 21: Jada and Chaithanya,Section: Feel no shame in walking on the right path.Online: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume01/sss01-21.pdf Tired of spam?
