I need to be courageous to ask you about the doubts that remain in my heart.

 

After months, after so much inner dilemmas, I finally find the answer that I

have expected so much. Brother (sister?) Pidatala Gopi Krishna were Swami´s

instrument. I have heard so many words come from the kind heart of friends, and

here, so many concerned replies (I was right when I heard my heart tells me to

look for your help, because you are my spiritual family! ), but I needed SWAMI!

And Swami´s own words were said by our Brother to clarify this matter...Thank

you, Divine Friend!

 

When my Dear Friend ( yes, I mean the person to whom I refer...in other words...

to my beloved ) shown the Divine Discourse of march 8th, 1997 (see quote) to

show that Swami does not allow intercultural marriages, my head got a hurricane

of questions.

 

"""In following Swami's teachings people tend to follow them according to their

convenience. For instance, when Swami said that there is only one caste, the

caste of humanity, this statement is used as authority for uninhibited

marriages between any two persons. This is a travesty of Swami's teaching.

Caste differences are to be eliminated. But cultural differences should be

respected. Swami has emphasized that every cultural group should adhere to its

culture. Swami's teachings should be adhered to in their entirety and not

selectively according to one's convenience.""" Lord Sai Baba

 

And it is so simple to understand my surprise; actually my shock in hearing

that. In my country, we are so proud to have such a mixture and tolerance about

religion, social level, races, so many immigration. My country is a mother. Here

the couples are united for Love and only for Love. You tolerate the immigrant,

the religion-follower different from yours, the differences, all because of

LOVE.

 

And since I received Swami´s Darshan in my bedroom (yes, a colored and real

"dream", incredibly real, more than a mere remembrance. I still can see His

face blessing me when I prayed to God, before sleeping, completely stunned

about what I have heard about an Indian called Sai Baba and that I could not

live well these days... I had to know more about Him... I prayed in a loud

voice *Oh, Lord! I dont want to commit sins, I know Jesus is the Shephard, the

Son, but this Sai Baba is someone that cannot be from this world as well....

and I see that it cannot have rivalship when working for Light and Love! So ,

I cannot feel that it is incompatible to follow Jesus and to believe in Sai

Baba´s Divinity... Arent they walking towards the same Light? There isnt Only

One God? * That very night Swami appeared in my dream, in the most real dream

I have ever had in all my life. It was in october 2003. Can you realize my

astonishment when I opened the

eyes the following morning with the Darshan (I didnt know this word those days)

shining in my remembrance!!!!!!

 

>From now on I have been in Sai Organisation feeling that it is my Dharma. And

day after day I am more and more in Love with Swami, that has given other nice

experiences to me. It also occured that situation that I have exposed to you

brothers.

 

And now the problem in my mind has increased... It is not restricted to my

personal situation anymore... Now it is about how to deal with these statements

of Swami that seem to be so hard and difficult to be assimilated....

 

I accept Swamiji as the Embodiment of God Himself. And it is not because of

having being convinced by anyone. It is because of my own experiences and

because of His touchable presence and... His living Photos!!! I cannot see

one single photo of His that is not quite alive, Living Presence spreading His

Darshan!!!! What to say about His Eyes in the Photos!!! It is incredible!

 

But... Oh, Swami, I love you so much. I would say that I believe in you more

than I believe in my existence. I believe in you and I know you, I dont believe

in myself. I dont know myself. That´s why I´ve breathed deep and asked for your

children´s help. This time my conditioned mind is not allowing the flux of

comprehention that I use to have. I think it is Lord Shiva´s Energy destroying

my ego... Anyway ( ! ) Swamiji !!!! Could you PLEASE, in The Holy name of

Jesus Christ make your instruments make me assimilate about this Truth of

keeping differences since it seems to be contraditory about the inconditional

Love??? See, I recognize that each Word yours is the Truth itself, but when my

human intelligence is bothering me, I need help, for i am not blind, I believe

in you because of your Majesty, and I simply cannot repress this feeling in

myself. So, may Your Mercy forgive my ignorance and make things clearer to my

Spiritual Eyes!!

 

About women elder... different cultures... rich and poor... black and white... I

CANNOT UNDERSTAND why these things have to be kept... I mean... when there is

LOVE, and (it seems that) the Love has to be repressed for the peace (?) of not

bothering one´s shock for the differences. In the Lotus Feet I say what is in my

mind: If people that dont know the inconditional Love dont be shaken by other´s

examples, How are we going to exercise that the Atman is behind any temporary

condition of body and culture, and appearance... ?

 

Two brothers have said about how Swami is severe about His Discipline. That´s

Ok. Be Swami´s Discipline our personal Law!!! but sometimes it makes me so

dizzy to assimilate Sai Shiva and Sai Maa. Am I clear? Again at the Lotus Feet

I´d like to say that in the present moment it seems to me that I have been wrong

all this time about my inner relationship with God (that nowadays I call

Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba!!)

 

Truly, after I have read the reply telling that a widow was forbidden to enter

the ashram for a devotee had fallen in love with her, (let me confess humbly) I

am simply afraid of going on my plans to go to Prashanti next year. My Beloved

is SO BELOVED BY THE LORD that I am afraid that simply Swami would order me to

go out of the Ashram for the Love I have sent to Him....

 

*****Goodbye forever, my Sunny!

I asked God for water, he gave me an ocean. I asked God for a flower, hegave me

a garden. I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest. I asked Godfor a friend,

he gave me YOU

Now it is time to deliver you (and these tears) back to the Lotus Feet... Thank you for your Love.

May the Rain Bless youMay the wind Caress youMay the sun Brighten youMay the

Moon En-Lighten youMay the stars Guide youMay life Delight youMay Love Surround

youSai Ram! Salam! Shalom! Shanti Om!*****

 

I, this soul inside this body, make mine also the words at the Lotus Feet:

 

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want...

Father!!!!!! Into thy Hands I commend my Spirit..

Baruch Atah, Sathya Sai... Destroy Right Now all my oppinions and

attachments... And take my spirit into thy hands! May my eyes be your Windows,

may my mouth be your own Words... Lift me in Your Arms... And defend me about

myself...

 

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where

they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their

character.When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and

hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day

when all God's children, black and white, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and

Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of that old Negro

spiritual: "Free at last. Free at last! Thank God Almighty, We are free at

last."

MARTIN LUTHER KING

Do not believe anything because it is said by an authority,or if it is said to

come from angels,or from Gods,or from an inspired source.Believe it only if you

have explored itin your own heartand mind and bodyand found it to be true.Work

out your own path,through diligence.Guatama Buddha

Dear brothers and sisters,

 

I was intrigued by that statment "Swami does not allow intercultural

marriages" and I read the entire discourse (8/3/97). Swami didn´t

use these words, that it wasn´t allowed any marriege between two

people of diferent cultures. Maybe, in some specific cultures it´s

not allowed to marry someone from another culture, but I didn´t

understand this in a general meaning.

 

For example, I have a friend who is a jew. Her father is very

orthodox and doesn´t allow her to marry anyone who is not a jew. I

think, in this case it would be against dharma to do something

against her own tradition and family. But I know some cases that the

person is converted to the judaism so that he can get married to

another jew.

 

But if the family is not against and the religion/culture is not so

strict, I don´t see the problem...

 

Om Sai Ram,

 

Fernanda.

Aum Sri Sai Ram

 

It pained my heart to see another atma in such anguish.

 

Remember God is pure Love, He never punishes but provides us with

circumstances from which whatever choices we make will always

spiritually grow either through pain or joy.

 

Is your love pure or is it an infatuation? Would your Love survive

without any sexual contacts? With this situation how many other atma

are affected directly or indirectly? Am I selfish in my love or can

I sacrifice my love for the better of other? These are some

questions you should answer and see where it leads you.

 

Whatever decision you make remember that it is always the way it was

supposed to be that God is always the doer.Just surrender the

problem to God

 

Love Love Love
