Sai Baba Gita - When you have a Firm Faith in God you will be Fearless

[Guest guest]

When you have a Firm Faith in God you will be Fearless

There is infinite power inherent in the human heart. But despite such power, you

do not have faith in yourself. What is the reason for this? The reason is that

you feel separate. You believe that you are different from the divinity. But in

truth, the divinity is always inside you as your very core. This same divinity

pervades the entire universe. When you develop a firm faith in God, you will

never have any fear whatsoever. You will recognize that the God you worship is

the one who is present everywhere in everyone and in everything, and also in

yourself. That belief will remove all vestige of fear from your heart.

But if you do not have that faith then you will be ridden with fear. Every

moment, every step, you will be frightened. When you have an examination you

will be afraid. While going in an airplane, you will be afraid. When a truck

comes in the opposite direction on the road, you will be afraid. Right from the

very moment when you get up from bed until you again go to bed you will be

afraid. And even in bed you will be afraid that thieves might break into the

house and steal your belongings. You will be expending your entire time in

fear. But this is not the way a human being should live. You should become

steeped in the conviction that the divinity is present everywhere and thereby

attain utter fearlessness.

Your faith in the omnipresent divinity is the key to developing fearlessness.

Only when you lose faith will you develop fear. Only when you forget your true

self will fear arise. You have forgotten your own true nature. You have

forgotten the atma. You are considering yourself to be this little five-and-a

half-foot body, but the truth is that you are infinite in form and your power

is unlimited. When you make an effort to remove the delusions and get a vision

of the atma, you become immersed in the bliss of nirvana. Then you can call

yourself a real human being.

If you make no effort along the path of self-realization, but demean yourself

into dark, selfish pursuits and degenerate behavior, you become more like a

demon than a human being. Do not fall to such depths. Conduct your life so that

you can truly call yourself a human being and live up to the high ideals that

you inherited when you were given this sacred human birth.
