108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 82 -

What is wanted now is uthsaaha, dhairya and vishwaasa (effort, courage and

faith). In effort, you must follow a regulated routine learnt from some adept

in the field. For courage, you must feel your own importance for your uplift;

never call yourself a sinner born in sin, bred in sin and engaged in sin. No;

that kind of selfcondemnation ill becomes a child of God, an Amrithaputhra.

In every one of you, God is the moving spirit, the very Soul; how then can

you be evil, when you are here for fulfilling God's purpose, according to his

Will, His plan, His law? He has endowed you with many faculties so that you may

seek Him and reach Him. You are not therefore a helpless neglected individual

undergoing a sentence of death. You are Aanandhaswaruupa (embodiment of Bliss),

born to a rich heritage, which is yours for the asking. Only you do not ask.

Have faith in your destiny and work gladly and steadily to attain it.

– Sri Sathya Sai Baba
