" Once Krishna and Arjuna were going together along the open road. Seeing a bird in the sky, Krishna asked Arjuna, "Is that a dove?" He replied, "Yes, it is a dove." He asked Arjuna, "Is it an eagle?" Arjuna replied promptly, "Yes, it is an eagle." "No, Arjuna, it looks like a crow to Me. Is it not a crow?" asked Krishna. Arjuna replied, "I am sorry, it is a crow beyond doubt." Krishna laughed and chided him for his agreeing to whatever suggestion was given. But Arjuna said, "For me, your words are far more weighty than the evidence of my eyes; you can make it a crow, a dove or an eagle and when you say it is a crow, it must be one.
" Implicit faith is the secret of spiritual success ".
- From Swami's Divine Discourse on Vijayadhashami in Prashanthi Nilayam, 1953.
Om Sai Ram
Keep the faith in the Lord undiminished; you can then safely move about in the world. No harm can come to you! Be like the village women with pots over their heads, one over the other, keeping balance even while talking and walking along the winding lane. They do not forget or ignore the burden or the goal. They are vigilant, conscious of the hardships on the way, the stones and the pits; it is the inner concentration that pays dividends.
- From Swami's Divine Discourse on 1st Aug 1956.
PS: While struggling in the spiritual field, you must take the Lord Himself as your protector. To instill courage in the child, the mother persuades the child to walk a few steps and turn about, but she will not allow the little one to fall. If the baby totters and is about to lose balance, she hurries from behind and catches the child before he/she falls. God too has His eyes fixed on you, His devotee. He has in His hand, the string of the kite with which He holds you. The string is the bond of Love and Grace. He may give it a pull and sometimes, He may loosen the hold. Whatever He does, be confident and carefree, for it is He who holds you and gives you the strength. - SATHYA SAI
