"STEADFASTNESS AND DEEP FAITH WIN THE GRACE OF GOD"

 

(Short Story, as told by Bhagavan SRI SATHYA SAI BABA)

When you have filled your heart with sympathy for the distressed, the Lord will shower His grace.

Draupadi had earned the grace through the devotion and virtues.

 

Sita, too, stuck to the highest ideal for life, in spite of the severe sufferings she underwent.

 

Hanuman, who discovered her in the grove where she was kept as a prisoner by her

abductor, offered to re-cross the ocean with her on his shoulders and take her

safe to her Lord, Rama, But, she replied that she will not allow herself to be

abducted back from the custody of Ravana, since that will deprive Rama of the

chance to punish him for his crime and retrieve her through his own heroism!

 

Splendid words these! Quite in consonance with the dictates of Dharma! No

wonder, the Lord’s Grace saved her in good time! If you have no steadfastness

and no depth of faith, you can have no Grace.

(Story #53, from the Book: "CHINNA KATHA")
