During these days of economic downturn .. many of us may have been affected . We can however use it to our advantage .. by dwelling more within and readjusting our priorities ..Some of us may find more spare time which we can devote to Sadana.. It is also a time when our devotion and faith are put to test ? Do we emerge stronger or do we go crazy ? With HIS grace , it is all okay as it is . Any thoughts ?

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Dear Ramesh, I quite agree with your approach to current woes and suffering. I like your quote from Sheiks Pir too. I have written an article on Luthar.com called Reincarnation, Karma, and Suffering which attempts to address these recurring problems on a world scale. Ramana assures Devotees in his promises and affirmations in Padamalai that he protects his Devotees, so we should not worry or fear, but place all our burdens on Him, God or the Self, and as you imply, rely on the abundance of His Grace.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Dear Alan , I just read your article on Luther.com.. Very apt ! Suffering does become benign when we are in a state of Acceptance ! I can vouch for it from my own experience having undergone two very critical spinal surgeries ! Never did I feel lost or OUT of GRACE !
