108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
22 –
It is
through service that man can expect to redeem his life. He is not
a man at all who has no kindness and love in him. The path to
Self-realisation lies through Love and Service. Cultivation of
love is the first step. Faith is the basis for Love. When Faith
and Love are combined, Peace is attained. And in that Peace
resides Truth. Truth reveals the power of Thyaga
(sacrifice), which alone holds the key to immorality.
Self-confidence is the
basis of faith. How can a man who is not sure about his own future
over the next few days, have faith in God? Only the man who has
faith in himself can have faith in God. Nara (man) is
Narayana and Narayana is Nara. Love is the link that binds
the two. With love as the motive force and seva as the
means, the aspirant should seek to attain the supreme goal of
life.
