108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
15 –
Do
not inflict pain on any one,
through word and deed. Control your passions, emotions and
impulses, especially, anger, envy and greed. They thrive on the
ego and make it a dangerous weapon. When you are enslaved by your
passions, how can you stand forth and claim respect? Only cowards
yield to their senses or passions. Brave men face up to them and
win. The hero is he who overrules his mind and curbs his impulses;
the zero is he who is overruled by them. Stand fast, like a rock,
when the waves beat. Have faith in your ideals, in God. Do not
allow faith to falter when failure comes into your door. Meet it
as a new challenge, and triumph. Your Vishwaas (Faith) must
not be like your Swaas (Breath); for swaas comes in
and goes out, it is now in and now out. Let your vishwaas
be firm, with no alternations of entrances and exits. If faith is
one full continuous stream, Grace too will be showered on you in
one full continuous stream.
