Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 TAMASO MA JYOTIR GAMAYA Baba said, “I am the Controller - the wirepuller of the show of this Universe” in Shri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. III. A friend once asked Samuel B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph: “Professor, while you were at your experiments, did you ever come to a stage when you did not know what to do next?” “Oh, more than once,” answered Morse. “And at such times, what did you do next?” “I must answer you in confidence,” replied the inventor modestly, “but it is a matter of which public knows nothing. Whenever I could not see my way clearly I knelt down and prayed to God for light and understanding.” “And did the light and understanding come?” asked the friend. “Yes,” declared Morse, “and may I tell you that when flattering honours came to me from America and Europe on account of my invention which bears my name, I never felt I deserved them. I had made a valuable application of electricity, not because I was superior to other men, but solely because God, who meant it for mankind, must reveal it to someone, and was pleased to reveal it to me.” If we study the lives of most of the very successful individuals, we will be amazed at their depth of humility! Einstein and Edition, to name two more, always believed that others could be better than them. As more of us get into such a mindset, the more will humanity profit! It is unfortunate that many of us are driven by our gnawing pride to belittle others and their success, unmindful of the fact that if opportunities available to us were made available to them, they would be much more successful than we pretend or consider ourselves to be!
