Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Devotees Eyes Remain Only on God and Himself There are many who question and test, that he being an ardent devotee and worshipper of God, why did he fall sick? On becoming a devotee of God, why is he running such a high fever? Why is he undergoing so much pain and suffering? Why did his child die? Why has he lost all his wealth? Why did become a pauper? Why did he become dishonourable? Why did he undergo so much disrespect? etc. etc. Seeking to test and prove something in this manner, is an absolute useless exercise and very base. What to explain to such individuals? Such individuals have at no time come close to a satsang " spiritual association " and therefore have absolutely no idea about what love and devotion of God really means? What taking refuge in God is all about? They simply cannot comprehend such things. But this does not mean that devotees of the Lord actually undergo suffering. It does not mean that they are always in a poor state, and that they always undergo disrespect, and complaints from others. For a true devotee of God, neither blame nor praise, disease or disease-free state, etc., are of of any concern. He does not look towards those things at all. He only sees that he IS and God IS! That is it! His sight does not go towards things like - what is in the world, and beyond and what is not? What is God like? What God can do? etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
