Guest guest Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 If equanimity is the goal, how does one achieve it? Equanimity does not dawn on us overnight. Even if it appears so, the apparent tranquility will only melt away by one single stone’s throw. What appears like a feeling of well being may well be nothing but a state of temporary happiness, perhaps a response to a smaller gain. The state of euphoria only overshadowed by the myth. The true transformation in the self is not a state of transitory upbeat, but a permanent gain. Such an eventuality has to be irreversible, full, and unconditionally blissful. No two people are alike in nature. Sadguru Sai Baba stressed the same by His inscrutable ways of guiding His people. Some were asked to do reciting, some were sent on pilgrimage. A few were chided by Baba while some were scorned at. Truly inscrutable are His ways. A story in Sri Sai Satcharitha also tells us how Baba disapproved a devotee’s intervention in another devotee's service. Sai, only Sai, has the ability to fathom the merits of one’s intentions. However, one thing that Baba always stressed to everyone is about His demands. The demand of two pice (two cents) meaning faith and patience. These two virtues transcend one’s social, religious and monetary boundaries, and are universally appealing. By pointing out these two qualities in us, Sai Baba has made the pursuit of perennial happiness clearer. Sai Baba stands out unique among other sadgurus in this respect. Is there a solution for the spiritual paradox faced by an aspirant? Unequivocal faith in the sadguru provides it. Patience and humility paves way for it. source:saibaba.org Arun Reddy Nukala +44-7946-595063 +44-2085-695116Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
