108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
78 –
Here the
young people should particularly understand the implicit manner in
which Hanuman obeyed Rama's orders. Hanuman's devotion and
Hanuman's faith have helped him greatly to recognise the desire on
the part of the master. Along with devotion and faith, Hanuman had
great confidence in his own self. If one ha no self-confidence,
one will not be able to achieve much although he has faith and
devotion. One may have confidence in one's own self; but if he has
no devotion and faith, that too will not help him. Devotion and
self-confidence are like the negative and positive. It is the
combination of these two that will enable us to fulfil our sacred
thought. Here, because Hanuman had the divine notion in his heart
and the self-confidence, he could have the vision of Rama, the
Lord, everywhere he went. When any order was given to Hanuman, he
never questioned whether he has the strength or the capacity to
fulfil the task. He had the firm faith that the very orders of
Rama will give him the necessary strength to fulfil those orders.
