problems problems and more problems

[Guest guest]

Dear devotees,

 

All of us feel we are bogged down by one million

problems in our day to day life. In Sai's own words "Life is a

series of problems.Some of them are apparently unsolvable.Do not try

to solve such problems.Meditate,repeat my name.All such problems

will solve by themselves".

 

 

First of all what constitutes problems? I feel it is

our attitude towards them.For eg if you actually consider, every

action of ours is a response to a problem of some kind or it could

also be to make the existing solution to the problem

better...............Like we eat food to solve the problem of

hunger, we sleep to solve the problem of fatigue. This way

everything we do is as a solution to a problem. However to one who

has food in plenty ,hunger may not be a botherance.To a poor

destitute,hunger could be the most major problem in his life.

 

Similarly, for a person with utmost faith in GOD

(SAI), problems will not bother him.Let one million things come to

trouble him, he will hold on to his GURU-GOD and not be disturbed by

problems. Sai is the kindest God who has promised to be with a

devotee who calls him with a heart full of love. He is the easiest

God to approach and He has guaranteed to take all his devotees over

the seven seas of existence if one has faith and patience.HE has

asked us to throw all our burdens upon Him and have faith in Him. He

has come in so many forms to help his devotees, He has always shown

His care and concern for them at all times. He has promised not to

let his devotees come to harm, no matter what!!!!!!!!!!!When Sai has

promised us so much, can we not give Him our love and wait patiently?

 

To give you an example from my life, some 5 or 6 years

back I thought I had the worst problems in life.I cried,wailed and

mopped asking God why he was being so cruel to me and wondering what

I did to incur all this unhappiness.A few years later, on

retrospection, this incident didnt even seem significant enough to

complain to God about it.No doubt I had some unhappiness in those

days but it looked like I had magnified it and given it more

importance than it deserved.

 

After this, some more problems came to me last year.I

again went and wept at Sai's temple.But this time He was kind enough

to make me realise that no matter what I may think,He has His own

plan for me,He has His own way of working and though it might not

make sense to me now and might not be logical, it is best in the

long run................ Now I pray that the next time I have a

problem, He gives me enough courage (Abhayam) to go through

it,knowing it is HIS wish for me and it is for my good and it is

because of my fate,karma or prarabdha which ever name we call it.

 

 

 

 

To give you another example, suppose a girl complains

that she is trying very hard to get married and Sai is not

listening to her. The first thing is we know not what is good for

us. Instead of giving up hope on SaiNath sayin He is not listening

to us, we should do a little introspection. Maybe if she gets

married in a hurry to the first person that comes by, it is not good

for her.Maybe there is a chance of a separation. Why not wait until

Sai unfolds what He has in mind for her????????Maybe Sai will send

her the most suitable person if she waits.All HE has asked from us

is faith and patience.

 

 

Sai is very kind to HIS children and always has their

best interests in His heart.It is we sinners, who make our fate and

we have to suffer its consequences. But Sai has shown us how though,

He could not totally remove the effects of our Karma, He can

compress prarabdha, reduce our sufferings and give us BLISS of being

one with him, when the time comes.

 

 

So Dear devotees, please pray to SaiNath that he gives

us the wisdom to let us know that every single incident in our life

is according to His plan and wish for us.Sai will never us suffer

more than we can take. And He is the most merciful GOD.So we should

learn to cultivate utmost faith in SAI BABA. He loves devotion and

is always with us whenever we call him or even sing his song with

overflowing love.He will take all our troubles away if we only trust

in HIM with faith in our heart.

 

 

 

MAY SAI BLESS US ALL!!!!
