Self-Affirmation from Chapter XIV of SSSC for Sai Baba devotees
-
Failure also, Stepping stone for Success
You must take any failure as a stepping stone for greater success.
- To get this attitude, first you need to develop the qualities of perseverance and courage.
- You should not meekly yield to failure.
- A weak-minded person can achieve nothing in life. “Na ayam Atma balahinena labhyaha” (This Self cannot be won by any who is weak), says the Upanishad. Courage and enterprise are the cardinal qualities of all successful people.
- “Having taken a resolve, cling to it until you achieve it!
- Having desired something, do not return until it is fulfilled!
- Having asked for something, do not leave until it is given!
- Having prayed for something, do not return until granted!
- Either He should oblige, or you should faint!
- But to return empty-handed is not the trait of a devotee! (Telugu Poem)”
- That is how your demeanour should be. You must be capable of turning God’s attention towards you.
- Your resolve and the requisite perseverance should be so strong that you emerge victorious.
-Puttaparti Satya Sai Baba in the Divine Discourse, Jan 21, 1988
