108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

Here the young people should particularly understand the implicit manner in

which Hanuman obeyed Rama's orders. Hanuman's devotion and Hanuman's faith have

helped him greatly to recognise the desire on the part of the master. Along with

devotion and faith, Hanuman had great confidence in his own self. If one ha no

self-confidence, one will not be able to achieve much although he has faith and

devotion. One may have confidence in one's own self; but if he has no devotion

and faith, that too will not help him. Devotion and self-confidence are like

the negative and positive. It is the combination of these two that will enable

us to fulfil our sacred thought. Here, because Hanuman had the divine notion in

his heart and the self-confidence, he could have the vision of Rama, the Lord,

everywhere he went. When any

order was given to Hanuman, he never questioned whether he has the strength or

the capacity to fulfil the task. He had the firm faith that the very orders of

Rama will give him the necessary strength to fulfil those orders.
