108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 64 -

Bhaaratheeya culture has emphasised the valid ways in which one has to spend

energy and money for service of the distressed, the diseased, the hungry, the

illiterate, the ill-housed, the illclothed. It condemns the spending of energy

and money for pomp, for vengeance, for competitive faction, for material

triumphs. Wealth is to be held on trust and used for promoting the brotherhood

of man and the fatherhood of God. This culture also lays down that nothing

should be done to damage any one's faith in God or in his own self. Faith is a

tender plant and it needs all the nurture that you can give.

My desire is that you should not censure other religions. Develop brotherly

feelings for all. God is One; there are not many Gods, one for each tribe among

men! Love is One; it transcends caste, colour and creed, if it has to be

genuine. Truth is One; there cannot be two. For, two can only be One, occurring

twice. The Goal is One; for, all roads must lead to the One God. Why then should

men quarrel and fight over the Eternal and the Absolute?
