R U Busy???

[Guest guest]

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil: "Distract them from

gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout

their day!" "How shall we do this?" his demons shouted. "Keep them busy in

the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their

minds," he answered. "Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow,

borrow, borrow." "Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the

husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford

their empty lifestyles." "Keep them from spending time with their

children." "As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no

escape from the pressures of work!" "Over-stimulate their minds so that

they cannot hear that still, small voice

from Baba." "Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they

drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home

and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-devotional

music constantly." "This will jam their minds and break that union with

Baba." "Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers." "Pound

their minds with the news 24 hours a day." "Invade their driving moments

with billboards." "Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order

catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering

free products, services and false hopes.." "Keep skinny, beautiful models

on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is

what's important, and

they'll become dissatisfied with their wives." "Keep the wives too tired to

love their husbands at night." "Give them headaches too! " "If they

don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look

elsewhere." "That will fragment their families quickly!" "Give them

tear flooding mega serials in TV to distract them from teaching their children

the real meaning of Sai message." "Give them Maya in attractive label so

they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive." "Have them return from

their recreation exhausted." "Keep them too busy to go out in nature and

reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events,

plays, concerts, and movies instead." "Keep them busy, busy, busy!"

"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small

talk so that they leave with troubled consciences." "Crowd their lives

with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Sai." "Soon

they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family

for the good of the cause." "It will work!" "It will work!" It

was quite a plan! The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Sai

devotees everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.

Having little time for their Master or their families. Having no time to tell

others about the power of Sai to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

You be the judge!!!!! Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

Please pass this on, if you aren't too BUSY! "Gurur Brahma Gurur
