Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Amma Radhikamma, Bhakti is eternal, There is no need to apologise for the length in reply. An excellent clarification, not only for the seeker but also to every one who desire to walk in the path of Bhakti. Yes. Your analysis is perfectly correct. Whatever happens, whether it is good or bad , is only the contribution of karma and praying God will overcome the bad unknowingly. One who remembers this is a real devotee. Further loosing money and quitting the job by brother Ramam might be trivial when compared to a greater loss that would have been sustained by him had he not chanted Sri Saicharitra ( Brother Ramam should not mistake me here) With love and regards, Your brother devotee of Sai, Sastry. Dear brother Ramam, Bhakti is eternal, There are more and more good days for you by the grace of God Sai and please continue the parayana, leaving the things to Him. Having gone through the valuable replies of many other devotees to your query, I did not try to give a reply. Now I myself, having inspired towards madam's reply, writing to you. Please take the under mentioned message with good inspiration and spirit. Sri Sai will look after everything. With love and regards, Sastry. radhipothini <radhipothini wrote: Good morning, I know you have received replies to your query but if it's not too late, I would like to offer my two cents. I apologize in advance for the lengthy reply. Please read this with an open mind. I hope it will, at the least, provide some sense of comfort even if you do not agree with it completely. I believe God does not punish us. Perhaps some things do happen according to karma and astrology. But karma and astrology exist because we have lessons to learn in life in order to reach our highest potential. Having said this, this is what I perceive. God and Sai Baba may actually be doing you a favor. As you read the Sri Sai Sacharitra, maybe God saw that you were ready to move to the next higher phase in your life. You won't see it now as you're experiencing it; but, in the future, you will come to understand why it happened and be grateful for its happening. When you think about the job you resigned from, ask yourself if you really liked the work, if you really liked the group of people you worked with. If you resigned to escape some form of negativity, that's a good thing. We all have the right to pursue work that makes us happy and to be in a work environment that promotes well-being. As for losing money, while I do not know the circumstances under which you lost it, there is always a lesson to be learned from any negative situation and you will learn from this one as well. Also, with faith, you will definitely regain it and maybe even more. As they say in the western culture, you may have been " given a big kick in the pants. " What I mean by that is perhaps God is trying to tell you that you need to make a change in your life in order for you to reach your highest potential. Why did you read the Sri Sai Sacharitra? Perhaps to gain some inner peace and/or to attain blessings. Well, this may be your blessing in disguise. Yes, you are frustrated with what you are going through; but please remind yourself that you will come out of this in a great way. In fact, just " fake it until you make it. " That is, tell yourself that you've already come out of this situation in a positive way and give thanks to God/Sai Baba/the Universe. In this way, you'll experience the blessings of your situation more quickly. Everything truly does happen for a higher reason. Hope this made sense. God bless. --Radhika " radhipothini " <radhipothini , " rvemurin " <rvemurin wrote: > > Dear Sai devotees, > > Recently from 4th Oct to 10th Oct I did Sri Sai Sacharitra > paryana.On the 5th day I had to resign from my job.After the > parayana is over I have lost Rs.34,000 also.Why the Lord punished me? > Can any devotee throw light on these incidents. > > Regards. > V.Raamam. > " rvemurin " <rvemurin Forgot the famous last words?
