Blessings Usually Come In Disguise

[Guest guest]

The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He

prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon

for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to

build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to

store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he

arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with the smoke rolling up to the

sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stung with grief and

anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day,

however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the

island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the

weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. Never

forget blessings do come in disguise!!

"Does your heart only beat for yourself or for others too?"

Dear Brother Vijay,

 

This is really a nice story and needs to be realized by all of us.

"Service to Soul is greater than Service to Body"

 

Once the fire is cought the soul, this fire is visible to everybody.

So find the source of fire within your soul.

 

With lots of Sai Love

Srimanta
