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

Saadhana
must make you calm, unruffled, poised, balanced. Make the
mind as cool and comforting as moonlight, for the Moon is the
Deity holding sway over the Mind. Be calm in speech, and in your
response to malice, cavilling and praise. You complain that others
are disturbing your equanimity; but you do not know that though
your tongue does not speak, your thoughts can unsettle the
equanimity of those around you.
Detachment, Faith and
Love--these are the pillars on which Shaanthi rests. Of
these, faith is crucial. For without it, saadhana is an
empty rite. Detachment alone can make saadhana effective,
and Love leads quickly to God. Faith feeds the agony of separation
from God; detachment canalises it along the path of God; Love
lights the way. God will grant you what you need and deserve;
there is no need to ask, no reason to grumble. Be content. Nothing
can happen against His will.
