108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses

Embodiments
of Love! Every man desires to acquire aanandha. From
where can aanandha be acquired? Faith alone can win
aanandha. Peace can be got only through faith; faith is the
spring of joy. But now, we see sorrow wherever we cast our eyes.
Why does this happen? Because, man has lost faith. He has no faith
in himself. How then can he acquire aanandha? How can a
person, who has not got faith enough to live happily for a few
days, win the grace of God? This day, when education has achieved
remarkable progress in many directions, man has lost faith in the
highest and the supremest---God. He queries, "What exactly is God?"
He argues, "Is there God? Well, I shall prove, that there is no
God."
Seek
the Truth and you are seeking God. Truth is God. Truth exists; so,
God exists. God IS, because Truth is God. Does anyone argue that
there is no Truth? Come. I shall show him Truth. He who denies the
existence of Truth can never be a man. Can there be a God higher
than Truth?
The
human condition today is full of falsehood; it is sunk in wickedness.
So, no one can understand the significance of Truth. Truth is
generally understood to mean speaking exactly what has been heard by
the ears. No; this is not the meaning of Truth. What has been heard
undergoes change; Truth is changeless, it is the same in the past,
present and future. Have faith that Truth exists thus and can be
experienced. Faith is the very breath of life. Without it, man is a
living corpse.
