Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 95 - If you take Krishna to be a Gopaala (cowherd), a man of the world like others, then for you he will be just a cowherd! You too climb only up to that stage. You have to take it in the yogic sense that "Go" in Gopaala means "Jeevi" (living being) and therefore, Gopaala means "He who protects, guides, feeds and fosters the jeevis"; that is to say, "He who is the protector and preserver of beings." You will have noticed that Uddhava, who looked upon Krishna as his Guru, benefitted more than Arjuna who looked upon Him as a 'sakha' (a friend). If you have faith that He is God, He will be God to you; if you dismiss Him as mere man, He takes on that role and becomes useless for you. Search for Him with the heart, not with the eye for externals. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 29.09.1960Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume I, Chapter 30: Sathya Sai Geetha (ii),Section: Introductory Section.Online: http://sathyasai.org/search/volume01/sss01-30.pdf Tired of spam?
