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

– 27 –

Man today is racked by numerous troubles because he has no confidence in the

Self. The aspirant on the spiritual path is bound to face the troubles caused

by the six enemies, lust, anger, greed, infatuation, pride and envy. He has to

overcome them.

Students! On an auspicious occasion like this, you should consider how you

can lead an ideal life. Through faith in God, you have to sanctify the body.

Without the body, you cannot experience the mind and the intellect. To achieve

your ideals, the body is the instrument. It should be kept in proper condition.

While the body is an instrument, the user of the instrument is the Self. All

senses function because of the Aathma. The Aathma is the Witness to everything.

It is also known as Conscious Self. It derives its sanction from the Divine. It

is a fragment of the Divine. Every human being is a spark of the Divine, as

declared in the Geetha. The human being is essentially Divine, but tends to

forget his Divine origin.

The Gaayathri manthra is enough to protect the person who chants it,

because Gaayathri embodies all the Divine potencies. It is an essential

requisite for the young because it ensures a bright and auspicious future for

them. The young students are the citizens and leaders of tomorrow. Hence, they

should develop pure and noble thoughts. The parents also should foster such a

development.
