Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sairam dear fellow flowers on Swami's Lotus Feet! Am happy that my experience (about my Nepali friend) has brought joy to you! Sister Mangala wrote describing her cherished Darshan experience: >> It seemed as if He was just as eager to see us as we were to see Him! Sometimes I wonder whether Swami cares to know every single detail that happens in my life. For example, does He care to know that today I am wearing a blue tee-shirt or in the evening I had a little stomach pain? I mean, does He care for even those insignificant details? ....which are so insignificant even for me? But only on the application of some discrimination, I realized that Swami does not have to care to know those details...in fact it is because of His will that I am wearing a blue tee-shirt and not a black one...that it is because of His express intention that I got this stomach pain so that I stop eating more puris in my lunch... Sivudaajna lenidhe cheemainaa kadhaladhu....(a quote in Telugu) (Without the Will of Shiva, not even an ant will move)Once Swami clarified this to Sri N. Kasturi, I think. Sri Katruri addressed Swami as "Sankalpa Siddha" (What Swami wills shall happen) Swami corrected him saying, "No, I am Sidhdha Sankalpa". Meaning "What happens is My Will." I see new meanings everytime I ponder over this statement which fills me with inexpressible thrill and child-like joy. The actual statement of Kasturi means --- "What Swami wills shall definitely happen but there might be somethings which happen without Swami's explicit will also". (It's something like ---- All birds are living things but not all living things are birds). Now let's look at Swami's statement....it means "What Swami wills shall definitely happen and there is nothing that happens without His will!!" (This is something like --- All birds are birds and all birds are birds). .....lol....please do not laugh at this statement. What I wish to say is that ---- "Swami's Will" and "incidents in our life" are perfect equivalents. Both are one and the same. Swami's Will = incidents in our life Incidents in our life = Swami's Will And when I still ponder over this, I see that, I do not have to ask Him to look at me. Because He is all around me. In the air, water, table, chair, blanket, fridge or pen. He is everywhere all the time. --- This is true and there cannot be something in the universe which is more true than this. Isnt it? Swami can NOT be confined to One Name, Form and Place. Doing that is belittling His magnificence ! (This statement is from one of His Discourses). Swami is everything...Everything is Swami. Swami is everything...Everything is Swami. When I keep repeating this statement and contemplate on it.... Swami is everything...Everything is Swami. Swami is everything...Everything is Swami. It is just wonderful...and there is nothing left to talk. As the devotee Prahlaadha sang... Indhugaladandhu ledani ledhu Endhendhu vedhakina andhandhe kaladu Sai sarvopagathundu It's not that He is here but not there. Wherever you seek for Him, He is there. Sai is everywhere. Ok, how did all these thoughts come to me? Ya....so, sister, I am sure that Swami is MORE eager to see you than you were to see Him......He comes there to have our "Darshan" as well....cuz He sees Himself in us... So, when we have His Darshan, Swami is also having His Darshan in us. Isn't it? JAI SAIRAM My deepest Love to Swami present in all of you, me, this email and computer and its keyboard.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Very good and useful analysis by Mr Sai sandesh.. This type of analytical thinking on Swami enriches our knowledge and strengthens our belief. How about analysing the " Half Truth" issue. ex. I am man.
