Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Material nature is fairly consistent. I couldn't stand devotees shunning me /images/graemlins/frown.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahak Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Haribol. Its not so bad, in fact, I wrote a song about it, so ill sing it silently. Have a quiet day, ys, mahaksadasa ... THE MESSAGE c.1989 mahaksadasa Bound up by confusion, drowned by the waves. Blinded by my envy, left sightless by the haze. Surrounded by many armies, embattled by my fear, Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear? I don't seem to get much pay, every day I waste at work. I act the fool, and follow the rules, treated like the jerk. I've seen the clues, and I'm about to lose, I know the end is near. Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear? Friends turn out to hate me, treat me like I'm nuts. Religious folk all shun me, their rhetoric I don't trust. I'm accused and convicted, my eyes are filled with tears. Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear? I've heard of One Who loves me, picks me up with gentle hands. He lives in an Exotic Place that i have yet to understand. The purpose of my life is to serve and love my Lord, so dear. Will I ever get the message, do I have time to hear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 "Material nature is fairly consistent. I couldn't stand devotees shunning me" Please consider that those who act like this may not be "devotees" after all. It's our actions that should concern us, not others', whatever they may be. Have you heard about "special mercy"? What first seems bad can later be seen as actually beneficial. Pain often forces us to take shelter of God in more personal ways, strengthening our faith.
