108 Quotations on Faith in God
From
Sri Sathya Sai Baba's Divine Discourses
–
104 –
Want of
steady faith is what drives people to drugs and books. There is
a story about Raadha and her faith in Krishna. The elders in
Brindaavan who revelled in scandalising Krishna--successors have
been born for them even now--set an ordeal for Raadha to test
her virtue. She was given a mud pot with a hundred holes and
asked to bring water in that pot, from the Yamuna to her house!
She was so full of the Krishna-consciousness that she never knew
the condition of the pot. She immersed it in the river,
repeating the name of Krishna as usual with every intake of the
breath and every exhalation. Every time the name Krishna was
uttered, a hole was covered, so that by the time the pot was
full, it was whole! That was the measure of her faith. Faith can
affect even inanimate objects.
