A Series of Unfortunate Events

 

I have been thinking about how each time I visit the Ashram I feel at

peace, and it wears away after I have returned.

I admit that I don’t meditate regularly. Especially after this recent

visit, I feel badly that I have not done my best. I always have

excuses. It is just terrible on my part. I get taken into outward

things and feel especially angry because I know better! I am

struggling a bit, emotionally. There have been a series of

unfortunate events and I am trying to stay positive, but I don’t do

very well all the time. I wish I could just spend all day with

Bhagavan and feel safe and right.

I just wanted to hear from you, to tell me, may be, how I can best perceive such times.

I appreciate your time most sincerely. I know that I maybe asking

foolish questions, but I just need some assurance and advice.

Regards and gratitude, yours in Sri Bhagavan

During your last visit we wanted to tell you how Bhagavan’s grace can

and does work in the life of those who dedicate themselves to the

ideal of complete and total dedication to the goal that He has given

to us. You will be surprised how wonderfully carefree and happy you

will be when you settle into the life of prayer and meditation and

leave all your weights and burdens to Him.

Bhagavan purposely gives his children difficulties so they may realize

that this birth is meant for the total and complete abidance in the

Heart, and there and there alone will we discover the infinite

reservoir of peace and happiness.

For the true aspirant and devotee, all happenings in life come only to

elevate us, to raise our level of awareness to the state wherein we

experience that it is HE alone who is the Doer and we are but puppets

whose strings are pulled by the Master’s hand.

 

Bhagavan says

“He knows what is best, and when and how to do it.

Leave everything to Him alone.

You have no longer any cares.

All your cares are His.”

 

So be at peace.

Repeat His name

 

“Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Ramanaya”

 

with faith and devotion whenever you can. He will guide and protect

you. It is His responsibility, not yours.

And your brothers and sisters at Bhagavan’s Ashram are always here at your call.
