Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 Whatever you hold once, you have held,Hold on to it, till you win.Whatever you have asked, once you have asked,Ask aloud for it, till you win.Whatever you wish, once you have wished,wish deeper for it, till you win.Whatever you have planned, once you have planned,Plan firmer for it, till you win.He must grant to stop your wail.Wail, weep, pray till you win.Don't lose heart and turn awayTrue devotion will surely win. — Sri Sathya Sai Baba Dear Sai Family, Swami in the above caption gives us a right to cling, beseech and do anything but giveup till we have got from HIM what we wanted. Swami also tells the story of you trying to break a big boulder with a sledge hammer. You give it 20 blows but the boulder does not break. At the 21st blow the boulder is smashed to pieces. Swami says it is not the 21st blow that broke the boulder, but the cumulative effect of the 21 blows. So in life - we have our boulders and we have our sledge hammers - do not give up till WE have successfully smashed the boulders of life. Boulder from the past that still remain are the ones - where we stopped short at 18 blows - thinking this boulder was invincible - just 3 more wd have smashed the boulder. I pray we all gear up such high level of true devotion. Sai Ram - Be Happy JP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
