Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 48 - Service to God has been described as Bhakti. The heart of the devotee flows with love of the Lord through constant remembrance and recitation of His name. Out of this stream of love, devotion emerges. One who is nourished by the nectar of Bhakti will have no desire for anything else. To be unaffected by joy or sorrow, gain or loss, praise or blame, to remain steadfast and unwavering in faith, is the hall-mark of true devotion. Affection, attachment, desire are natural qualities in man. When these qualities are directed towards God and when one is continuously engaged in good deeds, these qualities acquire purity and sacredness. Then a man becomes not only a great soul but can become divine. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 19.1.1986Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XIX, Chapter 1: The Love of God,Section: Introductory Section.Online: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume19/sss19-01.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
