Sai Inspires - 14th August 2005

 

 

 

God is all-powerful. But, at the same time, human effort is also necessary, for,

without it, man cannot enjoy the benefits of God's Grace. It is only when you

have Divine Grace and human endeavor that you can experience bliss. It is like

enjoying the breeze of a fan - this is possible only when you have both the fan

and the electrical energy to operate it.

- Sanathana Sarathi Aug. 1993

while. I am in the thick of Corporate world. Many people who see me may

actually believe that I am doing extremely well in the Corporate World. However

I pine for Prashanti. I saw a message today that indicated that Prashanti is

your actual home.

Coriporate world I see for myself a role in converting the current

materialistically inclined Corporate leadership towards a spiritual path. But

there are days when I feel very depressed. Especially when I face very

aggressive leadership which is completely driven by results in the form of

monetary gains. Too often I wish to leave it all and go to teach in

Swami’s colleges. Somehow something stops me and I debate within myself

whether this will be against HIS divine will. I have also seen many

Organizations in my career which spans over 20 years. I have come to only one

conclusion. Nothing changes when you change jobs. I have written a few words

from my experience that I am attaching. I don’t know there relevance to

this spiritual group, but am sharing them nevertheless.

Sairam Brother,

 

Thank you so much for sharing your inner thoughts & feelings regarding the lack

of 'spiritual based' Leadership in the real world. I too was in the Corporate

world for many years and so am able to understand the 'struggle' you are facing

at present.

 

The message that indicated that Prashanti is our actual home..... in my humble

opinion ... means is that we INSTALL Prashanti in our hearts wherever we may

physically be......not actually move to Prashanti Nilayam.

 

You are doing extremely well in your world but desperately pine for

Swami.....well that is perfectly okay isn't it? You may at times want to run

away to Prashanti and even join His colleges...however......is this a yearning

of the heart or the mind ? By running away...are we truly able to overcome any

issues /problems ?? In fact we find that until we deal with these issues from

within.....they will follow us wherever we go!

 

You also say that 'Nothing changes when you change jobs'. But then the first

rule on the spiritual path is not to have any expectations from our actions.

The ONLY person we have control over is our own selves...no one else.

 

Once we ourselves begin to practice & integrate the principles of 'spiritual

based leadership' and when others around us see the actual results they too

WILL want to try our ways......and then the changeg will happen slowly but

surely.

 

If you see for yourself a role in converting the current materialistically

inclined Corporate leadership towards a spiritual path.....then surely Swami

has already shown you your direction already?

 

Please do not feel so despondent dear brother. Have total faith in Swami &

please continually ask Him for guidance at every step of the way.

 

(I presume you have already read all the books on Spiritual Leadership by Lt.

Gen Chibber and Jack Hawley who are also ardent devotees of our Baba).

 

Remain Blessed!

 

With love & light,

 

Madhvi

 

Duty is love Work is Worship

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">I am grateful that you read the mail and

tried to make some meaning of it. I guess this is a situation in the world

which I need to face as millions of others do, maybe without a complaint. The

Corporate world encourages aggression and which in turn leads to violence.

Corporate violence is extremely subtle so the beneficiaries can easily justify

this stating economic benefits. When we downsize and get rid of people we

justify it by talking about the business benefits of this. In the current

scenario, the most noble businessman also is completely focused on his/her

business gain only. We read about the situation in various African countries

but these become stories to sympathize with and nothing more. Sai devotees go a

step further and pray for world peace and for humanity at large. I try not to

feel despondent but the pain at times becomes unbearable and it pours out.

Bless you dear Brother for your sweet email.

 

Please feel free to open your heart anytime...that is what we are all here

for....to share our views,thoughts & to help & support each other wherever we

can.

 

Because I have experienced this first hand myself.....I really do understand

your feelings at this time. I used to work for the biggest Telecommunications

Company in the UK.... (over 100.000 employees) for 18 years...& I too in my

role as 'manager' / 'team leader' had to experience office politics,

'violence' as you put it.....as well as implement many manpower downsizing

processes, etc. et.c. etc.

 

And at times I too used to feel really 'on my own' and 'out of synch' with the

others, because a lot of these things that I had to 'do' in my job were

completely against my inner nature.

 

But truly....with complete faith & trust and Swami in your heart.......you WILL

be able to deal with this step by step.

 

The key is not to lose hope...and continue to pray to and ask Swami for guidance

every moment. Trust me dear brother, He will show you how to lead and manage

your work spiritually!

 

With love & light,

 

Madhvi

[Guest guest]

I too agree with Madhavi's words fully. In fact it reminds me of something I

have on my desk which I use as an 'affirmation/reminder' called 'P.U.S.H (Pray

until something happens) - I think it was sent by her some time ago to the

group.

 

Brother please do not despair. Have faith in our Bhagawan He will guide you

perfectly - just pray. Also as another brother said, we are exactly where we

are meant to be - so do not fight it.

 

I pray that Swami gives you the strength and shows you the way but meanwhile

please remember P.U.S.H !

 

In Sai Service,

 

Suresh
