108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 58 -

"Arjuna, listen well to another point also. Karma as such has no capacity to

bind; it is the conceit 'I am the doer' that brings about the attachment and the

bond; it is the desire to earn the fruit that produces the bondage. For example:

the zero gets value only with the association of a digit. Karma is zero; agency

or the feeling of 'doer' is associated with the Karma; then it breeds bonds. So

Arjuna, give up the sense of "I" and the Karma that you do will never harm you.

Karma done without any desire for the fruits thereof will not produce impulses;

that is to say, there will be no impulse for birth even. The aspirants of past

ages performed Karma with this high ideal in view. They never felt that they

were the "doers" or "enjoyers of the fruits" of any act. The Lord did, the Lord

gave the fruit, the

Lord enjoyed the fruit, that was their conviction. This world has only a

relative value; it has no absolute existence; that was their faith. Arjuna! You

too should cultivate that faith and earn that conviction. Do so; then your mind

will become clarified and pure."

– Sri Sathya Sai Baba
