Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 81 - Once Krishna and Arjuna were going together along the open road. Seeing a bird in the sky, Krishna asked Arjuna, "Is that a dove?" He replied, "Yes, it is a dove." He asked Arjuna, "Is it an eagle?" Arjuna replied promptly, "Yes, it is an eagle.No, Arjuna, it looks like a crow to Me. Is it not a crow?" asked Krishna. Arjuna replied, "I am sorry, it is a crow beyond doubt." Krishna laughed and chided him for his agreeing to whatever suggestion was given. But Arjuna said, "For me, your Words are far more weighty than the evidence of my eyes; you can make it a crow, a dove or an eagle and when you say it is a crow, it must be one." Implicit faith is the secret of spiritual success. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on Vijayadhashami Day, 1953 Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume I, Chapter 1: Maanasa Bhajare, Section: Secret of Spiritual Success.
