Stick to your faith; do not change your loyalty as soon as something happens or some one whispers. Do not pull down Sai Baba’s picture from the wall and hang some other picture there at the first disappointment.
Leave all to Him; let His Will be carried out – that should be your attitude. Unless you go through the rough and the smooth, how can you be hardened? Welcome the light and the shade, the sun and the rain.
Do not think that only those who worship a picture or image with paraphernalia are devotees. Whoever walks straight along the moral path, whoever acts as he speaks and speaks as he has seen, whoever melts at another’s woe and exults at another’s joy – is a devotee, perhaps a greater devotee.
(SSS. Vol II – Chap 2)
