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

Embodiments
of Divine Love! Do not give room for the doubts which arise on
account of the food you consume, the company you keep or the
environment in which you live. Meet the doubts with courage and
faith.
Don't pray to Baba for changing your
mind. It is your duty to change your mind. If you expect Baba to do
everything, what is it you are doing? God has no use for such
indolent persons. You must do your sadhana and go ahead.
God's help will come when you do your part. Do your duty and leave
the results to God. Praying to God to do this or that is a sign of
weakness.
If you have full faith in God, your
mind is bound to change. Baba's role is not to change your minds,
but to redeem you from the consequences of your actions. Everyone
should realise and act up to this truth. To start with, get rid of
the blemishes in you, strengthen your devotion and make it firm and
unshakeable. That is Purusha prayathna (the effort which
everyone should make). Then you will earn Daivaanugraha
(God's grace).
Entering on this path of truth,
traversing the road of Jnaana (spiritual wisdom), merge
yourself in the Divine.
