SAIRAM

 

Dear Sai brother Venkat,

 

In this Sivarathri message, Swami told the students:

 

"PAST IS PAST. Leave it. I shall take care of your present and

future. From now on, whatever you do, consider it as Swami's work

and do it. No one else can understand your feelings other than Me. I

am always with you."

 

There will definitely be no point when Swami gets vexed with us and

says 'No' to us. Once when someone addressed Swami as 'Karuna

samudra' (meaning: 'An ocean of compassion'), Swami corrected Him

saying that He is 'Anantha Karunamaya' (meaning One with limitless

compassion). Even ocean has a limit, Swami's compassion does not

have!

 

Also, Swami points out that if a devotee feels far from Swami,

the 'fartherness' is totally from the devotee's side and not from

His side. I believe Swami has absoluetly no distinction in His

outlook towards any single creature from any other, however good or

bad they may be.

 

The distinctions between good and bad, sin and merit are only from

our viewpoint. For Swami, who is above thr three Gunas, all should

be the same. If one does not heed to one's conscience and commits a

sin, one is haunted by guilt and restlessnes and feels far from

Swami. But it is not true from Swami's side. From His side, all are

equidistant. If we follow His commands, we can feel His warmth

always.

 

And no day is too late to get back to Him. As Swami has pointed out

many times, He will not leave us until we are totally transformed

and liberated. He will NEVER give up on us. And NEVER literally

means NEVER. That is His nature.

 

Even if one commits suicide, he cannot escape from Swami. It is only

a comma, a temporary pause. One has to take birth again, get

transformed and fight for liberation, achieve it and merge in Swami

finally. If not in this birth, in the next birth. If not then, in

the next....and so on.

 

It is inevitable for each and every one of us to give up the hold on

our petty desires and merge in Him, now or after a thousand births.

The time taken may vary from one person to the other. But be sure

that no one will be left out or no one will be exempted.... all MUST

reach Him.

 

When it is inevitable, why postpone it? Let us strive to the best of

our capability and accomplish it in this very birth.

 

May we realize Swami's Hand ever guiding us,

 

JAI SAIRAM

dear brothers and sisters and elders,

 

sai ram to all of you.

 

I was really surprised to see so many of you encouraging me to live

and thread my road to SWAMI. I donno how i to express my gratitude

to all of you. But once again Thanks.

 

Today is my birthday, In the morning, early hours during darshan

time in India, i was awake visualising myself as a student, when i

used to celebrate my b'day at school. We were given chance to sit

with the tray of choklets and dry fruits in the 1st row. Swami used

to come to us and bless us and distribute the choklets to one and

all. Then HE would taste the dry fruits, all that i visualised

today. I am so lucky that i have been able to get the thought to

visualise.

 

The same b'day last year, i was blinded with worldly pleasures,

infact my chairman was himself here in Nigeria with me and we

celebrated in a un wanted manner, He bathed me with champagne

(alchol).

 

But this year although i am in troubles, i was able to be closer to

SWAMI and spend the beginning with SWAMI's memories. This is an

instance where SWAMI says, people remember HIM in times of need

only. But i have realized that we shud always cling to HIS FEET both

in good times and bad times.

 

PLEASURE IS AN INTERVAL BETWEEN TWO PAINS.

 

This is what i often remember and control myself. But still at times

of deep depressions, the mind flickers.

 

thanks to you all, i have the confidence that i can share my

thoughts with u all, as i have none to speak with here. everybody

here have abandoned me.

if i am alive today, it is all the grace of swami. I was working

with an indian based trading firm. I was the complete incharge of

the operations and administration here. I came here in Dec 2001.

Over a period of time, i did some great blunders knowingly some and

unknowingly some. Then i lost control of everything and landed up in

a terrific problem with my chairman. ..........................
