108 Quotations on Faith in God

>From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

- 92 -

Students! To the extent possible serve the society. Of course, you need to

take up jobs and earn your livelihood. But do not be avaricious for money. Be

satisfied with what you get. Alexander conquered many kingdoms and seized a lot

of wealth. When his end approached, he realised that he could not take even a

single penny with him. He requested his ministers to keep his two hands raised

above the head during the final journey so that the people would understand and

that even the mighty emperor Alexander had to leave the world empty-handed.

Likewise, everyone has to le this world empty-handed. Even a millionaire has to

partake of only food; he cannot sustain himself eating gold. So, be satisfied

with the basic necessities of food, clothing and shelter. Do your jobs properly

and

undertake service activities in your leisure time. Develop faith in God. If you

do not have faith in God, you will not have fear of sin. Then you will become a

demon. So, fear of sin and love for God is very essential. If you have these

two, you will be successful in all your endeavours. Consider every good work as

God's work.
