108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
31 –
The
one who leads a godly life experiences divine bliss. He is ever
blissful. He enjoys real happiness. Hence every man should realise
the truth that he is a spark of the Divine.
This means that everyone should seek
to experience God as the indweller in the heart. Once Arjuna was
troubled in mind over the state of things around him and asked
Krishna why this should happen to him when he had such faith in
Krishna. Krishna then explained to him that it was not enough to
remember God occasionally when one felt the need to remember him.
This kind of remembrance is a matter of convenience and
expediency. What is required is
Anusmarana, constant remembrance. Only that will relieve the
devotee of his troubles and worries. Anusmarana calls for
remembrance at all times, in all situations. Krishna told Arjuna
that he is thinking of God only on some occasions and for some
specific purposes. This is not the proper way. "If you remember Me
at all times, I am always with you," said Krishna. Krishna's
injunction to Arjuna was: "Remember Me at all times and carry on
the fight. That alone will help you. It will confer success on
you."
