Guest guest Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 71 - God can do anything and everything. He can transform earth into sky and sky into earth. But, man lacks devotion and faith in God. He has faith in worldly matters, not in spirituality. There is nothing superior to Bhakti (devotion). In the word 'Bhakti', the letters 'Bha' stands for lustre and luminosity and 'kti' denotes that which attracts. From Bhakti, you get Shakti (power) for the body, mind and spirit. Through this Bhakti and Shakti, you get immersed in Rakti (attachment) towards God and develop Virakti (detachment) from the world. The God confers on you Bhukti (food) and also Mukti (liberation). Thus, man has to travel from Bhakti to Mukti. As I told you yesterday, human life is a journey from 'I' to 'We'. In order to go to Tirupati, Varanasi, Gaya and Prayag, you may have to take great pains and travel long distance. But the journey from 'I' to 'We' is very short in the sense that you have to detach yourself from the body and develop attachment towards the Self. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine DiscourseSanathana Sarathi, December 1999, Page 365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
