Be silent and know

[Guest guest]

God is calling each and every moment. But this mind of ours is busy

with itself. Unless our minds become unoccupied we will not be able

to hear his voice. Only the unoccupied mind is meditation

As we become empty—silent—wordless, his music fills our being to the

brim. Be silent------and know.

 

Many candidates were invited to interview for a position as wireless

operator at a Telegraph office. They stood in a long line outside the

office waiting for their names to be called. But that waiting was not

silent. Conversations were going on, and either outside or inside,

all were lost in their own thoughts. Just then, a man standing at the

very back left the life and went into the telegraph office. Perhaps

no one saw him go. People saw him only later, when he came out

carrying an appointment letter in hand saying, "I have been appointed

to the position advertised in the papers. A great hubbub arose when

they heard this. They shouted slogans like: "Favoritism,Kill him."

People started complaining, "When this man had already been selected

what was need to call all of us here?" But a big official from the

telegraph office came out and said ,"Your conclusion is wrong. This

person was appointed only because he successfully completed the test.

Through a load speaker on top of the telegraph office we broadcasted

in telegraph signals: `Whoever understands this message, immediately

come inside your appointment letter is ready,' But if you were

occupied with your conversations and couldn't hear the tapping, what

fault is that of ours?"

 

Ah ! One day won't God say the same to each of us? So many are his

calls—but amidst in all our noises, has not his call become like the

tapping of that telegraph signal? BE SILENT—AND KNOW.

May the Merciful Sri Sai Baba always shower His grace on us and our

families and remove our problems and anxieties by giving us all -

strength , goodluck, success and happiness with peace of mind.
