Guest guest Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in GodFrom Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses – 42 – Whatever man seeks to achieve, he has to rely on Nature. Nature is not anyone's private property. It belongs to God. Without the grace of the Lord no one can enjoy the benefits of Nature. Not realising this truth, some people embark on the exploitation of Nature, out of arrogance and self-conceit. This is highly misconceived. Without the sanction of the Lord, man cannot achieve anything in the world. The Divine is the basis for everything. Man, however, is filled with the conceit that he is the one who is doing everything. This pride is the cause of his ruin. It is the cause of his frustration and disappointment. Man today is basing his life on reliance on Nature, forgetting God. This is a grievous mistake. You must place your faith in God, who is the prime supporter of Nature, and enjoy what Nature provides. Faith in God is the primary requisite for man. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 25.6.1989Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XXII, Chapter 17: The One in the many,Section: Introductory sectionOnline: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume22/sss22-17.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
