To You, With Love – From a Spec of Sai- dehamu panchabhoutikamu

[Guest guest]

Dear chinni,

sairam.

I read yr mail. moved by yr love to yr grand pa.May yr

grand father's soul rest in peace.Even I had great

relation with my grand pa. Infact, I acquired my

devotion and faith in God from him.

I am responding to one part of yr message. Swami's

poem about Pancha bhoutikam. Looks like

panchabhoutikam is tld repeatedly to me. Once when I

was in acute back pain, I prayed to Swamy and asked

Him to show me His miracle, He told me a poem in

Hindi(not my mother tongue) about the Body being

panchaboutikam and As How created these 5 elements

from Himslef. I was not only puzzled but a bit angry

with Swami for telling me some thing not connected

with my state of affairs.

(no need to tell that miracle did occur and I got

cured of my pain in minutes)Second time ,when my good

friend's son was dignoised cancer, I prayed to Swamuy

and asked him why the suffering. Again the reply" came

was pancha bhoutikam>.This time I was a bit wise and

took all the message.

 

The substance of it is, what we see is Body , what we

think we are is mind. We are not both. When we can

reapir the body, we better live in it. When it becomes

fragile, the jeeva(life) leaves it just like the bird

leve the damaged nest and takes up another nest. We al

know it, when we are not afected by it. But we need

Swamy to remind us, when we are going thru it, as at

that time,our emotions cover our intellect.

 

I am gald yr grand father wanted to see Swamu in the

next trip. And pl. be rest assured that he WIIL see

Swami in Prema Sai form.

 

sairam,

Sairam dear brother

 

Thank you very much for your kind words. I would like to share a

mircale of Love that happened to me.

 

Exactly one year back, I had acute problem with my intestines and

could not eat anything. For two full months, I could take only fruit

juices and curd. If I eat anything else, I used to get terrible

stomach pain.

 

Even while living only on fruit juices and nothing else, I used to

feel pain all the day. Inspite of the pain, I had to live the usual

life of going to office and working. Sometimes, when I used to go out

with friends to restaurants, they used to sit beside me and order

delicious dishes, some of which are my favorite and eat sumptuously.

But I had to order only a juice for myself!

 

That period has taught me so much about sense-control, particularly

the control of palate. It was difficult initially, but I got very much

used to it later. There was another big trouble I faced...I was

learning Carnatic Vocal then. I used to get up early in the morning

daily and practise for 2-3 hours. But because of the pain, I could not

sing for more than 30 minutes.

 

It went on and one night I got acute terrible pain. I stood before

Swami's photo and told Him, "It is for You that I am singing. But You

dont care about my pain. Swami! Just make me aware of one thing...that

You know that I am suffering. I am ready to bear any amount of pain,

if only I know that You know of my suffering. If it is Your Will, I am

ready to bear it happily with a smile....I do not complain that my

friends are eating happily while I have to live on liquid diet. I can

fight and overcome my desire over food. But please let me know that

You know my pain. I am going to read this month's edition of

Sananthana Sarathi now. Please convey Your message throught it..."

 

And I opened the book....And this is the FIRST PARAGRAPH that caught

my sight..."Dehamu Paanchabhuothikamu...." meaning "This body is made

up of five elements and perishable...." And Swami went on to say, "Do

not ever care for bodily pains. Do not feel afraid or discouraged

because of physical suffering. Carry on your duty with faith in Me. I

shall take care of you...."

 

And you can imagine my happiness! It was clearly an answer to my

prayer!!!! See how quick Swami is in responding to our prayers. It

brought smile back to my face. And then I went back to bed

happily....and then suddenly I was reminded of the fact that I have

some Vibhuti that I brought from Parthi with me. I never thought of it

till then!!!!! (May be that is again Swami's Will that I should suffer

and learn forbearance!)

 

I took some Vibhuthi and went back to bed. I continued taking Vibhuthi

for a week and believe me, friends, I never got the pain again. I

shifted back to normal diet.

 

I could understand that there was a purpose for which I had to

suffer...to learn forbearance and control over palate. When I learnt

the message enough, Swami took it away.

 

Thank you, Swami!

You are the teacher, unparallelled!!!

 

JAI SAIRAM

I am very touched with your intepretate of your experience.

 

Not many have this optimism in them to face challenges in live. But, you have it

and make full use of it.

 

I was attracted when you told swami that you don't mind suffering even when

swami knows that you're suffering. That is what i call godliness.

 

And, as usual, swami doesn't waste time, he immediately came to your aid which

he always does as a mother to us.

 

I am in high spirits after glancing through your experience.

 

Thank you bro.
