Guest guest Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Sai Ram brother's and sister's , I want to share a unusual incident whick took place today and it is still lingering so it is better to share my feelings with our sai brother's and sister's - well as usual I went to grocery shopping ( after Sunday morning prayer service) now I selected fast counter where it states cash only so I took my cart right upto the counter and lodged my cart to pick up one stuff which I forgot - now the drama begins when I came back I saw my cart pushed back and someone is standing right on my spot - what I did is something out of the way I confronted this person and told him that this is my cart and this is exactly where my cart was placed. He responded calmly and said that he saw nothing and there was no cart and this made me more fuming and I replied that this was my space and placed my cart where he is standing and I told him he can ask the person who is ahead of me- this gentleman with out any hesitation replied -" Yes sir this gentleman was there where you are standing right now"- imagine the condition of that person who would not budge quickly quipped" well I have only two stuff so could I go" - I didn't let him complete his sentence and I retorted - "Okay go ahead no problem" seeing this the person who was ahead of me gave up his spot to allow this person to move up- guess what this kind gesture of this person made me tear up, and the person who was fighting for the spot he too after payment turned back at us with face more softer than before and said -"Thank you so much" - well my reply to him was "take care brother"- now after the episode I questioned myself why I became so emotional why I was in tears ? now I have to be careful I thought it is better not to confront - well is the kind gesture of the person who was ahead of me made me emotional or something else where I need to subdue myself and be tolerant to fellow beings- Anyway one thing is clear which I understood from this episode is that your peace and bliss does get eliminated when you try to confront this kind of situation- what do you all say?

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Sai Ram Brother Soumendra, It is nice to hear from you after a long gap. I commend for your candid communication that requires some purity of heart to be that frank. This is the true study circle, when we do not parrot what Swami says, but reflect and conquer an emotion. It is the reaction, an emotion that is natural when the place of "I" was pushed aside by somebody. It is the Universal "I" that is an innervoice that replied, "Let the fellow pay and leave as he has only 2 items, what is the difference??" By doing this, you showed genuine sympathy and a caring attitude, that made the person in front of you repeat. Is this not SAI LOVE and Swami reaching out to others?? Congratulations on this self audit Regards Meena Chintapalli Soumendra Bhattacharjee <soumendra_toronto > wrote: Sai Ram brother's and sister's , I want to share a unusual incident whick took place today .....

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Sai Ram Soumendra, Swami transformed your situation from an unpleasant one , to a blessed one. I am often inpatient like you described ,and He corrects me every time ! Let us pray to Swami for the virtue of understanding others' needs instead of getting angry at such daily moments.
