Guest guest Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 55 - When you come to Me weighted with wants, prayers for boons and materialistic wishes, you stand the risk of losing faith and losing your moorings; for, that faith is frail. Develop the love that asks for no return; build faith on that basis. Thereby, you can rescue yourselves from the duality of exaltation and despair. The path of love knows no ups and downs; it is smooth and level, straight and safe; it leads you to the throne of the King of Kings, installed in your heart! Nothing can delay your journey, or devise obstacles to stop you. Desires? What is their nature? When a cat kills your pet parrot, you are enraged; when it kills a mouse, you are pleased. Though the behaviour of the cat is same, you desired one and disliked the other, as a result of your attachment! Desires are decided by personal prejudices and fancies. They also pall when fulfilled and are often momentary urges, clamouring for immediate satisfaction. After a full meal, food becomes uninteresting, if not positively repellent! Once satiated, the thing desired becomes disgusting! – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 23.7.1971 Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XI, Chapter 29: Constant Divine Communion, Section: Desires are often momentary urges.
