Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 The nature of human conscious is nothing but true bliss. However, it is thrown into the chaotic web of sorrow, grief, pain, pleasure, anger, passion and the countless grades of different states these emotions may have. The involvement in the cause and the effect is a tough whirlpool, a situation that is not easy to deal with and most in fact, yield to it. Scriptures are unequivocal about one fact, the significance of Sadguru and the faith in His as the means to achieve the state of true bliss. So, the encounter with the chosen path of salvation has to be the single most significant event in one's life. Dr. S.P. Ruhela in "Shirdi Sai The Supreme" wrote, "With the speed of education and emergence of the age of logic, science and concern for functionality in every sphere of life, educated people of today do not have much interest and faith in divine or spiritual personalities and spiritual matters, their miracles and teachings which they usually consider to be rather very traditional, superstitious or out of tune with modern times. On the other hand, the sociological fact is that there is a widespread anomie (normlessness), misery, immortality and resultant insecurity and unhappiness in the world. Only the intervention of Prophets, Saints and their teachings of the right kind of moral and spiritual values, which focus on universality and nobility of man's existence can save the crisis-ridden contemporary world". Sri BVN (B.V. Narasimha Swamiji) enlighten us about the spiritual ladder of fear, awe, gratitude and bliss. It was an excellent observation that devotion for the most begins as a Thanksgiving and remains the same. Is devotion just an emotional gratitude expressed to the Sadguru, a feeling of thankfulness for a temporary material benefit? Perhaps not! It is just a beginning of a blissful process, a sign of more magnificent things to come. Let us dwell on these thoughts as the New Year dawns. Let us resolve to seek the coffers He has open for us. Let the New Year and the New Millennium bring the awakening, the beginning of our spiritual journey with our beloved guide, the Saint God of Shirdi. source;saibaba.org Arun Reddy Nukala +44-7946-595063 +44-2085-695116Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
