108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
95 –
If you
take Krishna to be a Gopaala (cowherd), a man of the
world like others, then for you he will be just a cowherd! You too
climb only up to that stage. You have to take it in the yogic
sense that "Go" in Gopaala means "Jeevi" (living being)
and therefore, Gopaala means "He who protects, guides, feeds and
fosters the jeevis"; that is to say, "He who is the
protector and preserver of beings." You will have noticed that
Uddhava, who looked upon Krishna as his Guru, benefitted
more than Arjuna who looked upon Him as a 'sakha' (a
friend). If you have faith that He is God, He will be God to you;
if you dismiss Him as mere man, He takes on that role and becomes
useless for you. Search for Him with the heart, not with the eye
for externals.
