108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
90 –

You must
dive deep into the sea to get the pearls. What good is it to
dabble among the waves near the shore and swear that the sea has
no pearls in it and that all tales of its existence are false. So
also if you must realise the full fruit of this Avathaar,
dive deep and get immersed in Sai Baba. Half-heartedness,
hesitation, doubt, cynicism, listening to tales, all are of no
avail. Concentrated complete faith---that alone can bring victory.
This is true to any worldly activity, is it not? How much more
true must it be, therefore in the spiritual field? But if you have
already attached yourselves to some one Name and Form, do not
change it, do not choose another in place of the prema
swaruupam (embodiment of Love).
A hundred
people might come to your house and even treat you with affection,
but you do not address them as Pappa or Daddy. Have your mind
fixed on One; do not now and then allow clouds of doubt, like "Is
He Great?" "Is He God?" to dim your faith. Be bold. Acknowledge
the glory that you have witnessed; proclaim the joy that you have
experienced; confess to the Grace that you have earned. When
people ask you whether you too are going to Puttaparthi, for
example, and whether you too are doing bhajana, say "Yes"
proudly, for there is no shame in walking on the right path!

Sathya Sai Baba
