Guest guest Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 108 Quotations on Faith in God >From Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses - 99 - Thyaagaraaja used to address Raama in all his Keerthanas in the singular. In the famous Keerthana "Raara maa intidhaaka", he invites Raama in familiar terms to come to his house (after he had recovered the image of Raama from the Cauvery river). The familiarity is an expression of his devotion to Raama. You must look upon God as an "Old friend." There is no greater friend in the world than God. God only looks at the purity of your loving devotion. Treat the universe as your text-book and your heart as your teacher. There will be no need to seek God elsewhere. All that devotees need to do is to use all their limbs and organs of perception to experience the Divine. Tulsidas used to lament that as long as he did not use his limbs to experience God he was a useless cripple. No devotee should allow his faith in God to weaken under any circumstances. You will achieve victory by facing any adverse circumstance with faith in God. Embodiments of Love! Foster intense faith in God. All other beliefs are of no avail. – Sri Sathya Sai Baba Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourse on 23.9.1997Sathya Sai Speaks, Volume XXX, Chapter 23: Foster firm faith in God,Section: Look upon God as a friend.Online: http://www.sathyasai.org/search/volume30/sss30-23.pdf Tired of spam?
