NATURE'S SUPREME LAW

NATURE’S SUPREME LAW

 

Baba said, “When their merits and demerits balance each other, they are born on

earth as human beings, and are given a chance to work out their salvation.

Ultimately when their merits and demerits both drop down (are got rid of)

completely, they get their deliverance and become free. To put the matter in a

nutshell, souls get their births or transmigrations according to their deeds

and intelligence (development of their minds)” in Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch.

VIII.

 

Chuang Tzu had lost his wife. On getting the news, his friend, Hui Tzu, reached

to the former’s residence to offer condolences. Imagine his astonishment, when

he found Chuang Tzu drumming on an inverted bowl and singing a song!

 

“What a shame!” Hui Tzu exclaimed. “After all, she was your wife. She cooked for

you, she served you when you were ill, she brought up your children, and she

ministered to your needs these many long years. That you should not weep at her

passing away is bad enough. But you should be drumming and singing songs –

surely that is exceeding the limits!”

 

Chuang Tzu smiled, then said, “When my beloved wife died, I was plunged into

deep sorrow and my eyes were touched with tears. But soon I realized that every

manifested thing has a beginning and an end. Whatever lived must die. This is

the supreme law of nature. If a person is tired and lies down to rest, would it

not be foolish to disturb him with loud lamentations? My dearly loved wife has

but retired to the Inner Chamber to sleep for a while. There she awaits my

coming. Why must I disturb her peace with shouting and bawling? To do so would

be to show that I know nothing of nature’s supreme laws.”

 

TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA….

 

As a lamp without light,

As the eye without sight,

As a lock without a key,

So am I without Thee:

I need Thee, Lord!

 

In anguish deep, my soul doth cry:

I need Thee, Lord!

I need Thee, Lord!

O come to me before I die!

I need Thee, Lord!

I need Thee, Lord!
