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

– 35 –

Embodiments of love! There is only one thing you have to offer to Me today.

Pray that people in all countries, may the entire humanity, should be happy and

at peace. "Lokaas samasthaassukhino bhavanthu" (Let all the worlds be happy).

Then alone there will be real unity. Do not wish merely for the peace and

prosperity of India alone. Pray for the welfare of all countries. All are our

brothers, whether they are in Pakistan or America or elsewhere.

Whether you believe it or not, realise that I am able to attract people

from so many countries because of my all-embracing love.

If every person observes three things, he will be one with Svaami. You will

experience the Divine in you. As the following three are in Me, I can declare

firmly about them. They are three P's: Purity, Patience and Perseverance. These

three are in Me and around Me. Anyone with these three qualities will be

unafraid wherever he may be.

The most important quality is purity. Today everything is polluted. Water,

air and all the five elements are polluted. As a result the mind of man is also

polluted. How is purity to be achieved? Fill your minds with thoughts of God,

dedicate all your actions to God and consider God as the inner motivator.

Contemplation of God is not a matter for derision. You need have no fear on

that account. You must have full faith in God, who is the universal sustainer.

He is the protector, but not the punisher. The punishment you get is the

consequence of your own actions.

Therefore, chanting the name of God, doing bhajans and performing good

deeds, engage yourselves in service of your fellow-beings. Nourish love in your

hearts. Love will drive away all bad-thoughts. It will promote the spirit of

forgiveness.
