Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Om Sree Sai Ram Nutan ,Sita , Sajeev Roshini, and Sai Brothers n Sisters,, Thank you for the reply, I was a bit busy with my work and could not reply early. I Hope the Grace of Swami makes us strong in our ways. I was happy to read your experiences with Swamy and your beliefs.. We all know about our Swamy and sharing our beliefs and experiences of Swami makes our belief strong. What you said is right , if we take few steps towards Swamy and HE will make many steps towards us. I believe that this path is not so straight, we might be faced with so many troubles , but still we must cling to our faith, as Swami says what ever faith we follow ,we have to cling to it strongly, what we tend to do is that when mundane life struggles face us, we tend to waver in our mind. We start thinking Why me?? and how long...? to face this troubles.. And this is the time I think we should be steady in our mind and remember Swamys sayings that , we should try to face the difficulties equally as the happy movements. There are some of the examples we can find in life like a kite flies against the wind , that is facing and combating the wind , the kite flies high. Another example we all know is they say about the diamond, which is a diamond because of various cuts it had, without the cuts , its just an another stone. Swami gives the classic example of sticking to the faith in case of an ardent devotee who stood the difficulties but still dint waver in his devotion. Even though he was put to so many tortuous , he dint gave up in HIM. And we know him as PRAHLADA .Swami says , HE expects that kind of devotion from us, its difficult but I think its not impossible. In my personal life as well I remember some of the things inlife which was difficult initially was not so much in the later life, May be we all have some experiences where the initial difficulties makes us strong in our thinking and makes us a stronger person. These difficulties in fact increase our faith in Swamy. Though I pray daily, it seems to me that I remember SWAMY more times when I am in difficult times than in happy times. I think some of you as well be the same. Though these troubles seems insurmountable at the beginning and we eventually get through them. And remembering Swami and praying for strength to face the hardship will make all the difference. I am wishing to hear more from all of you. Kind Regards Om Sri Sai Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
