Hold on, even if it is threadbare!

Human life cannot escape from the power of attraction of the things of worldly

nature. Yielding to the stimuli of the world that is so "real" is a course that

is only natural. The mind that rejoices over a positive response is the same

faculty that repents over something that is not favorable. Those who once had

the blessing of realizing self-surrender easily forget the initial resolve,

backtracked, only to find them in the same position they have started

originally! The staircase of spiritual progression gives away to the slippery

mess of self-centered interests. The power of myth is such.

Sri B. Hanumantha Rao in "Sai Anusaranamu" wrote that situations such as the

above help us to realize our limitations as human beings. They reveal our

weakness in not being able to deal with the issues of worldly nature in the

right manner. First, it starts with a thought, thoughts lead to further

interest and proceed to stronger wants. Accomplishing our wants fuel the ego,

while the inability to accomplish leads to anger. More people fall to this

trap. When we realize our mistakes, it is important to seek the divine grace.

Sadguru is the guide that leads us towards this goal. Having faith in Sadguru

is the most important requirement. One must constantly strive to build on the

faith that they have in their Guru. While divine grace is accorded depending on

one's karma, faith in sadguru is entirely a human effort. Hence, it is important

to hold on to the faith, for faith even if weak, is better than no faith at all.

Sai Baba said, "Maya troubles even me,

what to speak of others". Just like a small lamp can drive away the darkness,

faith in Guru will slowly but surely lead to the perennial bliss.
