Guest guest Posted June 11, 2004 Report Share Posted June 11, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in GodFrom Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses – 36 – Develop faith in God. All names are His--Rama, Krishna, Christ or any other name. Every man is the embodiment of the Divine. True human relations can grow only when this truth is recognised. The first stage is where you recognise "I am in the Light." Next when you realise, "The Light is in me," and finally you realise, "I am the Light.I" represents love and light represents Jnana (Supreme Wisdom). When love and light become one, there is Realisation. The Bhakti Marga (path of devotion) is easier than Jnana Marga (the path of knowledge). The Gita has extolled the Bhakti Marga. Love should come from within, not enforced from outside. You should develop disinterested and spontaneous love. The attitude of petitioning to God for favours should be given up. Love of God should not be based on quid pro quo, seeking favours in exchange for prayers and offerings to God. The object of celebrating holy festivals is to devote the day to meditation on God. From today give up swaartha (selfishness), turn your mind towards the Parartha (Supreme), lead a life of Yadaartha (Truth) and sanctify your lives. Place your faith in God and do your duty to the best of your ability. Saturate yourself with love and share it with all. If you earn the love of God even to the slightest extent, you will experience infinite joy. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 15.9.1988Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XXI, Chapter 26: Devotion Is The Panacea,Section: Truth is beyond Time and SpaceOnline: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume21/sss21-26.pdf Friends.
