Swami - World's best Goldsmith

Swami – The World's Best Goldsmith

 

Gold – the most valuable metal in the world today.  Everyone would

like to possess gold for its worthiness and greatness. It is also one

of the determining factors of any country's economy.   Even the small

kids are being called as "Bangaru" (Gold) by their parents when they

are very fond of them. 

 

While we accept that every one of us like to have gold in our

possession, then it should have some form that can be used and worn

by others.  One such form is the ornament.  Gold when taken as raw

from the earth is of no use.  For gold to display its worthiness it

has to go through several phases like the dust and unwanted particles

has to be purified by putting it in the fire, moulded and hammered to

get exact shape then polished with heavy polishing machines and other

chemicals so that the converted raw gold will glitter beautifully

which is loved by everyone. 

 

All the above is possible and it is in the hands of the finest

goldsmith who performs the entire purification process. Always the

finest ornament has its own value and credibility at any point of

time and place. 

 

We also resemble the same form of raw gold before getting into the

hands of Swami.  All of us carry the dirt of karmas accumulated in us

for several births till now.  Swami accepts us as we are and starts

his conversion process to mould us into a finer piece of jewel that

can beautify his Lotus Feet. Swami purifies us by putting through

series of tests.  By being patient, all our ill thoughts that is like

a dust is removed and we become pure gold. Even at this stage we are

of no use to others. Hence Swami hammers us by his wonderful

teachings, makes us undersatand the required sadanas that we need to

do. Then Swami polishes us to glitter in the world by coming into our

dreams, showering us with his great blessings and assuring us that he

is / will be with us always and at all times so that we become unique

and in the desired form as loved by our Swami.

 

Everyone in the world expects Swami's devotees to be different from

others. When we do not follow the teachings of Swami, behave in an

erractic manner and does not set as an example then others point

their fingers towards us and ask, "Is this Swami has taught you

devotees?"  Also we give room for others to say that when Swami's

devotees are behaving like this why not we?  Hence we should always

be like a finer piece of an ornament and a role model for others to

follow the teachings of Swami and come up in life.

 

I remember one of the articles from the great book of Mrs

Kumaramma's "Anyatha Charanam Nasti".  With due respects to the

author I would like to share a small information from the book. 

Swami blessed the devotee by manifesting a gold chain.  In due course

of years the chain gets spoiled and it was taken to a gold smith for

mending.  On seeing the chain the goldsmith said that human beings

couldn't repair it.  Lord himself can do this type of working in gold

and only he can repair it.  When it was told to Swami he laughed and

said this is all from Sai Stores and created another chain and gave

it to them. 

 

Let we submit us in the Lotus Feet of Swami and come out as a

beautiful Jewel that can decorate the Lotus Feet of Swami.
