108 Quotations on Faith in GodFrom Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

– 13 –

Embodiments of Love! Every man desires to acquire aanandha. From where can

aanandha be acquired? Faith alone can win aanandha. Peace can be got only

through faith; faith is the spring of joy. But now, we see sorrow wherever we

cast our eyes. Why does this happen? Because, man has lost faith. He has no

faith in himself. How then can he acquire aanandha? How can a person, who has

not got faith enough to live happily for a few days, win the grace of God? This

day, when education has achieved remarkable progress in many directions, man has

lost faith in the highest and the supremest---God. He queries, "What exactly is

God?" He argues, "Is there God? Well, I shall prove, that there is no God."

Seek the Truth and you are seeking God. Truth is God. Truth exists; so, God

exists. God IS, because Truth is God. Does anyone argue that there is no Truth?

Come. I shall show him Truth. He who denies the existence of Truth can never be

a man. Can there be a God higher than Truth?

The human condition today is full of falsehood; it is sunk in wickedness.

So, no one can understand the significance of Truth. Truth is generally

understood to mean speaking exactly what has been heard by the ears. No; this

is not the meaning of Truth. What has been heard undergoes change; Truth is

changeless, it is the same in the past, present and future. Have faith that

Truth exists thus and can be experienced. Faith is the very breath of life.

Without it, man is a living corpse.
