Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Some people declare “I have no faith in Godâ€. This is a meaningless statement. If they have no faith in God, on whom else do they have faith? It is only when one develops faith in God that he can have faith in everything else. Therefore, one has to develop faith in God, in the first instance. With faith in God, one can achieve success in all his endeavours. One who has faith in God will be able to develop faith in every individual. Such a person will develop a firm conviction that God is immanent in every living being. The Upanishads declare Isavasyam Idam Sarvam (the entire universe is permeated by God) and Easwara Sarva Bhutanam (God is the indweller of all beings). God is immanent in every being as “Nammakammu†(faith). Therefore, one has to cultivate faith in God, as his first and foremost duty. All the Vedas, Upanishads and scriptures emphasise this as duty of a man. - From Swami's 2004 Dasara Divine Discourses. Om Sai Ram Your Mail works best with the New Optimized IE8. Get it NOW!.
