BE POSITIVE TO PASS THROUGH

 

“As men believe in Me, so do I accept them” –Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. IX.

 

There was a man undergoing an operation. Though he had received a sedative

injection, he was agitated. A kind nurse said to him, “Are you feeling a little

nervous?”

 

“More than a little nervous,” he answered.

 

Clasping his hands, the nurse said to him, “but you don’t need to be nervous,

because very soon we are going to make you better than you were for years.”

 

The patient gave a feeble smile.

 

The nurse added, “You know, there are two ways to approach an operation. You can

worry yourself to death or you can trust us. Our surgical team is the best. You

have nothing to fear.” The she winked, pressed his hand and whispered

conspiratorially, “Especially since I’ll be by your side in the operation

theatre to make sure they do everything right.”

 

When the patient heard those words, he felt relaxed. Everything went well. The

operation was successful. The patient was completely cured. And he learnt the

lesson of his life that we can approach a situation in two ways. We can either

worry ourselves to death or we can trust. If only we could trust in God as

fervently as we worry, we would never have to worry at all.

 

Move on the pathways of life with faith and courage and the confidence that One

there is who is with you, wherever you are, taking care of you, protecting you,

guiding you, leading you on!

 

True it is, that when God is near, how can you fear?

 

How can you feel lonely or inadequate?

 

How can you ever lose your way?

 

TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA….

 

O my soul, living in this world of attractions and allurements, may you not, for

a single moment, forget the Home to which you have to return before nightfall!

 

Do not give your heart to this passing show. But, standing on the bank of the

river, listen to the music of the flowing waters and enjoy the beauty of the

landscape.

 

Do not soil your feet with mud. And do not enter into the waters of maya.

 

He who does not enter into the waters can never be drowned.
