SPIRITUAL SPARKS
(SAYINGS OF BABA AVTAR SINGH JI)

"F"

 

FAITH
What really matters is one’s faith. One, who regards the True Master as the real giver, is never in want.

Faith in the True Master and deprivation cannot co-exit.

 

FAITHFULL, FAITHLESS
The faithful and the faithless stay apart like oil and water.

The faithless know no peace and bliss.

God does not exist for the faithless.

 

FINITE, INFINITE
What a wonder, a huge banyan tree emerges from a tiny seed. Conversely, infinite formless God manifests Himself in a finite human body!

 

FIVE PLEDGES
We should regard our body, mind and belongings as a trust of God.

We should not be vain of our religion, race and caste.

We should not despise anyone for his diet or dress.

We should lead a household life, discharging our worldly responsibilities and not become a parasite or a fake saint.

We should not reveal God until permitted by the True Master.

 

FORCES
All the forces of nature stand in awe of God, who is their real master.

 

FORTUNATE, UNFORTUNATE
Fortunate indeed are those who take refuge in the True Master. Here fortunate means the spiritually fortunate.

How unfortunate is the louse, which sucks the blood of a cow instead of her milk. Similarly, those, who are lured by flesh and blood, are unfortunate. Conversely, how fortunate are those who attain God-knowledge and lead a life of the spirit.

 

FORTUNE
Fortune comes in two rounds: firstly, through human birth; secondly through God-realization.
