Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 70 - God is omnipresent. But he should be experienced as present in subtle form as Consciousness. This divine feeling should arise in man. The entire Cosmos is pervaded by the Divine, declares the Upanishad--"Isaavaasyam idham Sarvam" Divinity is present in every human being. Man today is more intent on dividing the One into the many than on realising the unity that subsumes the diversity. To recognise the unity that underlies the multiplicity is the primary task before man today. You must develop faith and see to it that it is firm and unchanging. Firm faith and a clear vision are essential. Men proclaim their faith in God when their desires are fulfilled, but deride Him when they are not realised. These desires are often petty and trivial. Men do not realise that God is waiting to fulfil much greater desires. Ignorant of the immensely valuable treasures in God's treasury, man seeks cheap trinkets. Instead of a diamond, man asks for a piece of charcoal. Not getting it, he feels disappointed. God wishes to give you a diamond. You do not have the patience to wait until you get it. Men will wait hours in a queue to catch a bus or buy a film ticket but will not devote five minutes to think of God. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 04.04.1992Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XXV, Chapter 10: Hold Fast To The Lord,Section: Firm faith and clear vision are essential.Online: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume25/sss25-10.pdf Take Mail with you!
