108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
42 –
Whatever
man seeks to achieve, he has to rely on Nature. Nature is not
anyone's private property. It belongs to God. Without the grace of
the Lord no one can enjoy the benefits of Nature. Not realising
this truth, some people embark on the exploitation of Nature, out
of arrogance and self-conceit. This is highly misconceived.
Without the
sanction of the Lord, man cannot achieve anything in the world.
The Divine is the basis for everything. Man, however, is filled
with the conceit that he is the one who is doing everything. This
pride is the cause of his ruin. It is the cause of his frustration
and disappointment. Man today is basing his life on reliance on
Nature, forgetting God. This is a grievous mistake. You must place
your faith in God, who is the prime supporter of Nature, and enjoy
what Nature provides. Faith in God is the primary requisite for
man.
