Faith

1.     Faith is not belief, it is the grasp on the Ultimate, an illumination.

2.     As soon as a man or a nation loses faith, death comes.

3.     Have faith in yourselves and stand upon that faith and be strong.

4.     Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith in God----------------this is the secret of greatness.

5.     Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken, all power is yours.

6.     The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves. That faith calls out the divinity within.

You can do anything.

7.     Have faith in yourselves, great convictions are the mothers of great deeds. Onward for ever!

8.     Infinite faith and strength are the only conditions of success.

9.     We must have faith in ourselves; we must become world-movers, for everything is in us.

10.  Hold on with faith and strength; be true, be honest, be pure…

11.  Infinite power will come unto you------------------never fear. Be pure, have faith; be obedient.

12.  Let people say whatever they like stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, ‘Have faith in this fellow or that fellow,’ but I say, ‘Have faith in yourself first,’ that’s the way. Have faith in yourself-------------------All power is in you--------------------be conscious and bring it out. Say, ‘I can do everything.’ “Even the poison of a snake is powerless, if you can firmly deny it.”

13.  Have faith that you are all born to do great things!

14.  Have faith that you are all, my brave lads, born to do great things! Let not the barks of puppies frighten you------------------no, not even the thunder bolts of heaven-------------------but stand up and work!

15.  So long as you have faith and honesty and devotion, everything will prosper.

16.  Cultivate always “faith in yourself”.

17.  Be possessed of Shraddha (faith), or Virya (courage), attain to the knowledge of the Atman, and sacrifice your life for the good of others------------------------ this is my wish and blessing.

18.  We are ever free if we would believe it, only have faith enough. YOU ARE THE SOUL, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute. Everything in time, space, and causation is bound. The soul is beyond all time, all space, all causation. That which is bound is nature, not the soul. Therefore, proclaim your freedom and be what you are-------------------- ever free, ever blessed.

19.  Have faith in man, whether he appears to be an angel or the very devil himself.

20.  If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

21.  If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.

22.  Our first duty is not to hate ourselves, because to advance we must have faith in ourselves first and then in God. Those who have no faith in themselves can never have faith in God.

23.  The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves! If you do not exist, how can God exist, or anybody else?

24.  We are ever free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute.

25.  Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith in God - this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.

26.  The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!

27.  Freedom can never be reached by the weak. Throw away all weakness. Tell your body that it is strong, tell your mind that it is strong, and have unbounded faith and hope in yourself.

28.  Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!

29.  Have faith in Guru, in his teachings, and in the surety that you can get free. Think day and night that this universe is zero, only God is. Have intense desire to get free.

30.  Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves. Born with the consciousness that they were to be great, they became great.

31.  What we want is this Sraddha (faith). Unfortunately, it has nearly vanished from India, and this is why we are in our present state. What makes the difference between man and man is the difference in this Sraddha and nothing else. What makes one man great and another weak and low is this Sraddha.

32.  We can see that all the difference between man and man is owing to the existence and non-existence of faith in himself. Faith in ourselves will do everything. I have experienced it in my own life, and am still doing so; and as I grow older, that faith is becoming stronger and stronger.

33.  Believe first in yourself, then in God.

34.  You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.

35.  The ideal of faith in ourselves is of the greatest help to us. If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practised, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.

36.  Never lose faith in yourself, you can do anything in this universe. Never weaken, all power is yours.

37.  Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith in God - this is the secret of greatness. If you have faith in all the three hundred and thirty millions of your mythological gods, and in all the gods which foreigners have now and again introduced into your midst, and still have no faith in yourselves, there is no salvation for you.

38.                         The great thing is to have faith in oneself, even before faith in God; but the difficulty seems to be that we are losing faith in ourselves day by day.

39.  The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves! If you do not exist, how can God exist, or anybody else?
