Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 .... Swami's capacity of control and endurance can't easily be understood; only doctors and those who have suffered a similar fracture know something of it. I was directed to rest for 4 weeks. But I do not know what rest is, I do not feel the need for it. I have My duty to fulfil. Many people have written to Me to say that I should have cured Myself immediately of this tiresome fracture. But no, there is no need. They are little things which can happen occasionally. I am not sick. It is almost impossible for Me to stand, the pain is so unbearable but I smile about it, and this is the sign of My Divinity. Some devotees pray and think that Swami could heal Himself in a moment. Even though this is possible, Swami is not a person affected by egoism. When someone is wounded or sick, I do not heal him immediately. Everything has its time it is necessary to suffer, until the proper moment arrives. Nonetheless it is possible to develop the power to divert the mind in order to control the pain and not to allow oneself to be overcome by problems and difficulties.Why should I worry about this body? This body is not Mine, it belongs to you and I do not want to interfere. Your bodies, on the other hand, are Mine and if they cause you troubles, I take care of it.. Nothing can make Me suffer, nothing can harm Me". - From Bhagawan's Onam Discourse in August 1988 See the Web's breaking stories, chosen by people like you. Check out Buzz.
