A Mail from SAI BABA

[Guest guest]

Hi,

As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would

talk to me,even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion or

thanking me for something good that happened in your life yesterday-

but I noticed you were too busy trying to find thr right outfit to

put on and wear to work.

 

I waited again.When you ran around the house getting ready,I knew

there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello, but you

were too busy. At one point, you had to wait fifteen minutes with

nothing to do except sit in a chair.Then I saw you spring to your

feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me but you ran to the phone

and called a friend to get the latest gossip.

 

I watched as you went to work and I waited patiently all day

long. With all your activities I guess you were too busy to say

anything to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around, maybe

you felt embarassed to talk to me,that is why you didn't bow your

head. You glanced three or four tables away and you noticed some of

your friends talking to me briefly before they ate, but you

didnt.That's okay.

 

 

There is still more time left, and I have hope that you will talk

to me yet, you went home and it seems as if you had lots of things

to do.After a few of them were done, you turned on the TV. I dont

know if you like TV or not,just about anything goes there and you

spent a lot of time each day in front of it, not thinking about

anything- just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you

watched the TV and ate your meal but again you didnt talk to me.

 

Bedtime, I guess you felt too tired.After you said goodnight to

your family,you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.Thats

okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you. Ive

got patience more than you will ever know. I even want to teach you

how to be patient with others, as well.

 

I love you so much that I wait everyday for a nod,prayer or

thought or a thankful part of your heart.It is hard to have a one-

sided conversation.

 

Well,you are gettin up again and once again I will wait with

nothing but love for you, hoping that today you will give me some

time.Have a nice day!

 

Your friend,

SAI BABA.
