Be firm
to not discard the one Name and Form you have selected
carefully; even if someone speaks ill about them. Hold fast
to your chosen deity and save yourselves. At the same time,
do not cavil at others’ chosen deities. Undermining
the faith of another or disturbing your own - both are
wrong. Faith is a plant of slow growth. Its roots go deep
into the heart. Silence is the best spiritual practice to
guard faith. Hence I insist that you adopt this as the first
and most important step in your spiritual journey. The
Lord’s feet, eyes and face is compared to the Lotus,
because He is like the Lotus - unaffected by the environment
it is in. You too, must be smiling at all times, imparting
joy to all around you and making their burden
lighter.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
