Solution is very Simple -Baba

Happiness or sorrow is your own making. Assume a tiff between a couple. If you have decided that you will not quarrel, despite whatever your spouse says, you will not respond unkindly. Thereafter the argument will not be aggravated. And your spouse will start respecting you more for your patience. Both of you can do away with your unwanted motions and frustrations once you decide that you will not allow your temper to gain the better of you Where two individuals are involved, there is bound to be a conflict of thoughts. But a compromise can be arrived at based on logical reasoning. Instead if you let tempers fly,

you are caught forever in the clutches of false ego. And hence no room for peace. What you seek externally in this world is very much within you. The peace that you seek so constantly is in your reach. If you fritter away your health drinking or courting bad habits, who is to blame? There are so many ways to physical fitness. You can exercise, participate in sports. But till such time the body is agile you waste it away, and then when it stops co-operating, you start complaining. Physical fitness is very important. It is in your hands to be healthy. All solutions you seek externally are within you. There is only one problem and that is you. If you are seeking solutions, you will never discuss problems. Do not allow problems to grow - -

a stitch in time saves nine. If you are not in good health, take immediate teps to get fit. If you are in financial difficulties, do not waste time talking about it. Find practical solutions to tide over the issue. People take loans to buy houses, and spend a lifetime repaying the loan in distress. The practical solution is to sell their house or jewels, repay their loan and think of owning a house after they have saved enough for it. If you are a student, study well or attend coaching classes to get good marks. A Zen master who was known for being happy always, was in his death bed. His disciples asked him, 'Please tell us the secret of your happiness.' To which the master replied, "Every morning when I wake up, I ask myself, 'Do you want to be happy or sad today?' And I reply 'I wish to be happy'. With this reply, I decide to keep myself happy despite whatever happens. "There is this easy formula: do not let trouble

trouble you. Happiness is in the way you lead life, in the pattern your thoughts trace. If you wish to be happy, it will reflect in your thoughts, words and deeds and nothing can make you sad.

The reason for your disappointment and boredom is -"You expect too much from God without any planning or contribution from your side." You too must put in your efforts, must you not? You must endeavour; you must exercise your mind and analyze the pros and cons of any venture before starting it. Then you will be able to accept failures too.When people tell me, 'I have not obtained a stable job, yet' and I ask them, 'Where have you applied?', they reply, 'We need to start applying.' Does an interview letter fly in from the skies? People are very funny. How can they ever imagine that they would get a job without even applying? Miracles do not happen out of the blue. You have to put in the required efforts and what you get is the fruit of your labour. Results are mind manoeuvred. Your mind dictates what will happen and what will not.In long jump, you have to run from a particular place to gain momentum and then take a jump; whereas if you falter in between, you will land up taking a short jump! So too, look upon God as your friend and look to Him for support, but you have to put in efforts. You have to perform.

The devotees do not merely save the showers (of Grace) but channelize it for productive use. Otherwise the whole thing will go down the drain. "Rainwater harvesting" is the buzzword nowadays! Learn the art of preserving the previous downpour, then you will be able to put it to use. If you have no such inclination for storing, but you feel jealous of the water supply to your neighbour, whose fault is it? Install your own storage tank to receive and store water and then watch the results

Baba quotes from a Samratchana song “kaatirku pogavum vendaamamâ€)No need for the solitude of the forestsNo need for arduous penancePerform your worldly duties with the detachment of a YogiThat is the wisdom of this Siddha Yogi.By experiencing, Karmas have dissolved, so Everyone has become God!When you reach this stage, you will get the answer to this question. When you experience your karmas and complete them, there is nothing else left and so you attain God. We have all the facilities here to help you realize your Godhood. What Lord Krishna emphasized several eons ago is relevant even in the present day context: Do your duty; do not wait for results.

So 1. Whatever work you have undertaken, do it sincerely and diligently without waiting for recognition or bothering about criticism. Your conscience is your yardstick.2. Try to score cent percent in whatever you do. Do your work so diligently that no one else can do it better. Then you have made a big leap from humanity to Divinity. Serve without a single blemish or fault. Become a 100% performer; because half-baked stuff cannot become a palatable pudding and you will continue remaining a human being or go down the hierarchy. Make use of the opportunities you have here to nurture your talent and weed away your follies. It is for you to understand and climb up the divine ladder. When you climb a steep mountain, the only

inspiration you need to hold on to is this: ‘someone has already climbed, so why not I?’Secondly, perseverance. Whatever be the hurdles you face, do not waver. Just surge ahead. Go step by step - - on the lines of ‘Lead Thou me on, yet one step enough for me’. When you attempt at any task with a quest for perfection and excellence, you will gradually start realizing the Divinity within you. Then there is no need to hanker after pilgrimages, mantras, tantras, yagams etc. Whatever is stipulated by the sastras (scriptures) as the right sadhana path is already here. Just that you need to make use of this facility. The sastras say that Yagams (fire offerings) have to be performed; we have Agnihotra (daily homam) here. You have the conducive environment to think of God in sathsang (company of noble like-minded persons). There are manifold opportunities to render service in God’s mission. And Samratchana is one big family, where you are able

to do away with hatred, anger and jealousy and nurture the divine qualities of Love and Compassion towards all. You have everything that will grant you peace. Shed your ego, anger, selfishness which are the greatest impediments to your progress. I have not stated anything new now. Everything is practical Vedantha(philosophy) can be easily practiced. The day you start practicing rather than just hearing, that moment you will attain Divinity.

-Love Baba
