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

– 23 –

Saadhana must make you calm, unruffled, poised, balanced. Make the mind as

cool and comforting as moonlight, for the Moon is the Deity holding sway over

the Mind. Be calm in speech, and in your response to malice, cavilling and

praise. You complain that others are disturbing your equanimity; but you do not

know that though your tongue does not speak, your thoughts can unsettle the

equanimity of those around you.

Detachment, Faith and Love--these are the pillars on which Shaanthi rests.

Of these, faith is crucial. For without it, saadhana is an empty rite.

Detachment alone can make saadhana effective, and Love leads quickly to God.

Faith feeds the agony of separation from God; detachment canalises it along the

path of God; Love lights the way. God will grant you what you need and deserve;

there is no need to ask, no reason to grumble. Be content. Nothing can happen

against His will.
