To
have faith in God is to install God on the throne of our hearts.
Faith means, to trust in the Omnipotence of God and to firmly believe
that God answers our prayers. A man of faith stands in firm faith
of God when everyone deserts him. Faith means burning the bridges
already crossed in order to go ahead firmly. Faith never hesitates
to give what it has to. Having faith in God today, with similar
spirit for tomorrow, is the mark of faith. Faith is the antonym
and an antidote to fear. Ways are many, but to repose trust in God
is a sign of faith. A man of faith will not rely on his conviction,
but abides by God's command.
Faith works miracles in one's life and makes the sick healthy. Roots
of faith sink deeper and grow stronger by constantly remembering
God. In order to erect rock-like faith, we must keep reading the
teachings of Baba, have a firm grasp of His message and hold on
to His Feet. We must strive to walk in the foot-steps of Sainath.
To praise Sai in good times, doubt Him and His Grace in bad times
cannot make a true Sai devotee. Sri Sai Satcharitra narrates the
experiences of many a devotee of faith who were baled out of troubled
times and saved by taking refuge at the Feet of Sai. If we surrender
to Baba believing Him to be our Father and Guiding-Light, He will
not only take care of us but guide us to His Abode of Ever-Serene
Peace.
