Regarding a query in my mind

[Guest guest]

any of my family had been a source of trouble to anybody. But recently my

sister, who again can be had as an example for fairness and justice met with a

tragedy in which her beloved husband died of cancer after a struggle of about 7

months, during which period not only my brother-in-law but my sister and my

father had also suffered a lot mentally and physically. I just have just one

query. Why are we constantly admonished by our dieties and elders at home to

be fair and just always when we witness many such fateful events where such

supreme qualities and efforts towards God go futile? And this is my only

prayer presently and for ever. I humbly request all in our Sai community to

kindly send me some consoling words about the safety of my sister and her two

daughters (aged 13 and 8) in the years to come who are forced to face the

horrible world without a male to lead them in the righteous path.

Sairam jayanthi:

May Saibaba give you peace of mind. In a small widow

if we see nothing is visible about the big picture.

So look beyond the incidence. You are eternal, part

of infinite not finite. Ramana Maharishi died of

Cancer. He is also a noble Soul. Gandhiji was shot

dead. Does he deserve such an end? Mother Therasa

suffered at the end. Why? So look around and console

your self. This not a time to worry about "Why and

why me" Always every one goes through this one time

or another. Swami is there always. Trust Him and He

will take care of you. Pray for the departed Soul.

Let him be at peace. Be a strong hold for your

parents and sister.

All that Good done by your parents will come to help

in one form or another. It is difficult for us

measure it. So Jayanthi, from this moment strengthen

your hope and look forward. Go to Sai centers and

mingle with Sai devotees. Serve the people who are in

a bad shape than you.

 

May Sai bless you.

 

Partha Saipriyudu

Always be happy.

Whatever happens is for good.

Help one person every day so you can go one step near God.

karmas. All karmas have to become akarma, with no trace of any body

consciousness when an act is performed to remove these vasanas. What you are

reaping is all the Sanchita Karma. What you are paying as suffering is the

Prarabda, that can not be escaped also. The current life is to accumulate the

AAGAAMI Karma, by doing good deeds and not conditioning our prayers. Time is

the best healer. The bondage ended for your Brother In Law. The children will

grow safely under Swami's wings and with his teachings. Your sister needs to be

independent by attaining education and economic independence. Self Reliance is

the foundation for the strength of that family. Abused wives are coming out of

slavery in many places in India and are living independently. That is safe for

the children, than live in a night mare daily. So please help your siste rget

some courage and stand by her. She will be fine as a single parent, but love

herself and family will old her intact and make her resilient. Love and

blessings Meena Chintapallijayanthi ramesh <jayanthi_rb (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote:

Om Sai Ram

 

Dear Jayanthi Ramesh,

 

I understand the pain you are in. We are here to pay our dues from our

past lives. At least that's what I have learnt from my experiences. I

can imagine your parents and their good deeds. The question is that

why should they experience such a tragedy in their lives. Please

remember, there are tens and thousands of people like your parents

around us. Ithurts even more because of the relationship. Please step

aside and look around you. My parents' (My father passed away in '93

with cancer) was similar to yours. However, my mom's life now is a

mess. My brother passes away leaving a two and five year old children

of his behind. Your sister will be fine. Look at it this way. Your

brother in law is blessed. He only suffered from cancer for 7 months.

Now, he is free from pain. He is releaved from his Karma. Regarding

your sister, she will do fine as days pass by. Please remember one

thing, "when God closes one door, He opens another".

 

Sai Ram,

Sairam,

 

Thanks for writing the mail, openly expressing your thoughts.

 

We should not think/expect something in return for our GOOD DEEDS.

 

Its sure, we'll get something in return, but, it may not be the way that we

expect. Also, it may not be, at the times we expect.

 

Reg. BAD incidents... I was told like, there might be some BAD KARMA, in our

previous birth(s) (If we think, we're kind hearted, and, nice people, in this

present birth.), and, we've to go through such incidents, and, no one can

escape.

 

As BAD KARMA, gets us BAD incidents/experiences in return, GOOD KARMA, we'll

fetch something GOOD in return... But, again, keep in mind that, it may not be

the way that we expect them, also, it may not be at the times we expect them.

 

I used to think on similar lines... I thoght of helping the need, reg. their

job, and, settling in life...

And, i was expecting something in return... the same thing... i was pryaing SRI

BABA, to take care my job/work, and, to show me better career prospects at

job/work, and, i was strongly believing like, it might happen...

 

But, in reality, it was not happened... i had tensions/problems at job/work... (Still, i had them)

 

And, there're times, i started thinking like, THERE MIGHT BE BAD, FOR BAD DEEDS,

BUT, NO GUARANTEE OF GOOD, FOR GOOD DEEDS.

 

BUT, THIS IS NOT TRUE.

 

UP/DOWNS are very common, in everyone's life.

Its our duty, helping others, when someone is down. Its humanity.

 

We should never, never think like, "when i was into deep troubles, no one had

helped me out. No one told me, some good words atleast."

 

GOD takes care us, GOD takes care things, for sure.

 

We need not expect consoling words from relatives/friends. Whatever

friends/relatives offer, whatever that may be... they must expect something in

return, for sure (even for their consoling words).

 

One should develop the culture of dwelling on good activities/deeds, helping the

need, not hurting others (What we feel, if someone troubles/hurts us? Shall we

do the same mistakes, in others case, troubling/hurting them?)

 

What i feel like, make your sis, actively engaged in some sort of work, such

that, she dont keep condeming god, for her fate.

 

If she's not working, Try to start some small scale home industry, where can she

involve completely, and, forget about her past, such that, she can stand on her

own feet, both financially, and, mentally. Here, she can help the need, who're

poor, by giving them some sort of work/job, and, salaries.

 

SPIRITUAL thoughts, and, service activities... helps a lot, in one's

mental/psychological/attitude growth.

 

And, pls. if possible, make her, financially stable, or, tension/worry less,

reg. daily/monthly expenses, and, get some money deposited in her daughters

name, that can help them in the future, for their marriages, or, for their

studies, or, in some other form.

 

PAST is past. That never be corrected/altered.

 

HOPE leads one, towards HAPPIER LIFE.

She's more and more responsible, now, reg. her kids, and, their future.

 

 

GOD MUST HELP HER, TOWARDS WORRY-LESS, HAPPIER LIFE.

 

Sairam

deceased elders. He was a very loving father to his kids who are trying hard to

digest the harsh fact that they are fatherless. As far as my prayers for my

b-i-l’s recovery were concerned, Swamy had always shown many positive

indications. My optimism arose from the fact that He had even disclosed to one

of His ardent devotee (my relative) that He was very much present in the

breathing apparatus fixed in my b-i-l’s nose. He had even once signed at the

end of one of the prayer letters addressed to Him regarding the same issue. I

took all these to be His indications that my bil would be safe and sound.

During his last days, he was not even able to express his desire to see his

kids.

He was not given anything, solid or liquid, as he developed many complications.

Amidst all these, I firmly believed that our mother Sai would safeguard him.

But banging came the news that he was ‘clinically dead’. I humbly place this

request in front of all in Sai community to kindly pray that my sister be

secure with her daughters and my aged parents with Sai’s grace. I thank

again for having participated in my hour of distress which has immensely helped

me to overcome my depression at least to some extent.

This is very, very good advice. When Ramakrishna Paramahnasa sufferred from

throat cancer, his devotees were shocked and grief stricken.

The advice of being happy and trying to help at lesat one person every day is

excellent.

By giving this advice to one person on the Sai Network, you have shared it with

many others. I thank you and pray that all of you will be Blessed. Sai Ram

Dear Sister,

 

Please don't get disheartened. Swamy will certainly not let anyone

down. These are testing time. Swamy does things with a flash of

seconds. He is in for a pleasant surprise. Swamy will certainly take

of the little ones. He is our mother Sai. We will pray for your

family.

 

Take care

Re: [saibabanews] Regarding a query in my mind

 

Sai ram Brother,

 

I read your mail and am compelled to pen a few words.

Being in malaysia and trying to understand the full scenerio is

beyond me.

Surely, you, your parents, and sister and her children are under the

ever benvelonent and loving eyes of Bhagwan Baba. Swami always says

that " To those I give, a lot is expected."

This world is only maya. The pain, suffering and agony that you and

dearest ones are undergoing is only a bus trip to cross the sea of

samsara.... the body is only a bundle of bones and flesh. Without

atma, which has no birth or death, the body has no life. This atma

is same in you, your family, GOD and me. Verrily you and all of us

are a spark of divinity. Just remember as swami has said, "You are

like a solid tree on the bank of a river and you father, mother,

sisters, brother and relatives who on their trip to reach the ocean

of samsara,,,,,happened to get caught in your roots. They will one

day surely break free and cross the sea of samsara to merge in me".

Surrender all to Swami and tell him it is his problem to solve. He

will put it in his "To do" list and willl solve it.You have to be

patient, as, Swami will solve them in order of priority.

 

sai Ram brother, I hope these words are of some consolation and pray

Swami will be able to find better words than these to add on to my

message before it reaches you.

 

Sai Ram.

Brother. Kiri

Dear troubled Sai Devotee Jayanthi Ramesh,

In one of my e-mails I found this:

May be this will help you ease out your pain.

Meera

*******

There are three marks of an angel's work.

First, they always say: "Don't be afraid.

We're here. We're taking care of things."

Second, you are filled with warmth and joy.

Home! cries your lost and lonely soul, flooding

with remembrance. Third, you are never

quite the same: you cannot forget.

Dear Sai Devotee,

I am so thankful to Ms. Melody as she has given

words to my feelings. Readind your e-mail, my heart

cried and felt helpless as you do and was dumbfounded

what to write to console you!

Baba has helped me by this way! I totally agree

with what Ms. Melody has to say.

Have Faith and let BABA take care of yours and your

families's worries. Please try to keep calm, I know it

is easy to say , hard to put in practice, but try to

think of BABA in your troubled moments.

Jai Sai Ram.
