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

Once
Krishna and Arjuna were going together along the open road. Seeing
a bird in the sky, Krishna asked Arjuna, "Is that a dove?" He
replied, "Yes, it is a dove." He asked Arjuna, "Is it an eagle?"
Arjuna replied promptly, "Yes, it is an eagle." "No, Arjuna, it
looks like a crow to Me. Is it not a crow?" asked Krishna. Arjuna
replied, "I am sorry, it is a crow beyond doubt."
Krishna laughed
and chided him for his agreeing to whatever suggestion was given.
But Arjuna said, "For me, your Words are far more weighty than the
evidence of my eyes; you can make it a crow, a dove or an eagle
and when you say it is a crow, it must be one." Implicit faith is
the secret of spiritual success.
