GOSPEL OF FAITH

 

By Sri Hari GURUJI SRI MURALIDHARA SWAMIJI

 

Swamiji, Do you think that there is anything greater than God ?

 

Yes,.. I believe that Faith is even greater than God.

 

Suppose God appears before us, but we are doubtful if it is God or

not, what is the use?

 

But if you have faith, even a stone image can talk to you. So I

believe that faith is the greatest of all. This faith should be firm

and unshakable.

 

I think, I get what you are saying. Could you please illustrate this

further, Swamiji...

 

Let me tell you a small anecdote in Shirdi Sai Baba's life.

 

Once a lady devotee of Shirdi Sai Baba was very adamant that she

should receive some sort of Upadesam (Initiation or Guidance) from

him. But Baba refused to oblige.

 

That lady went on a severe fasting. On seeing this, a few people

informed Baba about this. Baba called her and softly asked her , " Do

you think my Guru gave me any initiation or upadesam ? "

 

She replied , " He must have Baba... , or how could you have become

so exalted. "

 

Baba smiled and said , " My Guru asked me to give two coins as Guru

Dakshina (offerings to Guru). I didn't know where to get the coins.

Sensing my plight he said , 'My dear son, I asked you two coins of

Nista and Saburi , i.e. Shraddha and unshakable faith in me ,

patience and perseverance .

 

I had unshakable faith in him. So should you. So.... now do you see

that faith and patience are the greatest things.

 

Is it possible to overcome fate?

 

With the divine grace and with our effort, we can overcome fate.

 

If there is faith, then there is no fate.

 

Which is the biggest hurdle for realization ?

 

Lack of faith.
