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

– 19 –

If you have attachment to sense-objects (Raaga) you can never be free from

disease (Roga). Thyaaga (renunciation, detachment) alone can ensure true bhoga

(joy, bliss). This does not mean that you can flee from the world; you can

never do that. The world will always be with you. While in this world of

A-shaanthi (turmoil and agitation) you must win Pra-shaanthi (the highest type

of equanimity). To help you in this process, and to make you aware of the

distance you have traversed, tests may be held by the Lord; you must welcome

them, as chances to demonstrate your accomplishments and to win credit and

appreciation. Do not develop contrary reactions. Students should ask for tests,

so that they can estimate the heights they have scaled; they should not protest

or run away.

On the foundation of Faith, erect the four pillars of Sathya, Dharma,

Shaanthi and Prema and upon them, raise the Mansion of your earthly Life. That

is the richest property you can earn here.
