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

Man
today is racked by numerous troubles because he has no confidence
in the Self. The aspirant on the spiritual path is bound to face
the troubles caused by the six enemies, lust, anger, greed,
infatuation, pride and envy. He has to overcome them.
Students! On an
auspicious occasion like this, you should consider how you can
lead an ideal life. Through faith in God, you have to sanctify the
body. Without the body, you cannot experience the mind and the
intellect. To achieve your ideals, the body is the instrument. It
should be kept in proper condition. While the body is an
instrument, the user of the instrument is the Self. All senses
function because of the Aathma. The Aathma is the
Witness to everything. It is also known as Conscious Self. It
derives its sanction from the Divine. It is a fragment of the
Divine. Every human being is a spark of the Divine, as declared in
the Geetha. The human being is essentially Divine, but tends to
forget his Divine origin.
The Gaayathri manthra
is enough to protect the person who chants it, because Gaayathri
embodies all the Divine potencies. It is an essential requisite for
the young because it ensures a bright and auspicious future for
them. The young students are the citizens and leaders of tomorrow.
Hence, they should develop pure and noble thoughts. The parents also
should foster such a development.
