Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself completely to Me and always remembers Me. I shall repay his debt by giving him salvation. I belong to him who thinks of Me, hungers after Me and does not eat anything without first offering to Me. Leaving aside pride and egotism completely; you should surrender to Me, who is seated in your heart. " Gurur Brahma Gurur Vishnu Gurur Devoh Maheshwar; Gurur Shakshat Parambramha Tashmai Shri Gurur Veh Namah " 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.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Not that I have less faith. Recently a tragedy has occured in Nasik. Some devotees of Sai Baba who travelled in a bus fell into a gorge and died. Why did Sai Baba allow this to happen? This thought has crossed my mind. Could some one throw light on this? ulaganathan p Deepa H <debu7366 wrote: I feel indebted to him who surrenders himself completely to Me and always remembers Me.

This thought has crossed ulaganathanji, this is the biggest myth- that just because you take a bit of Gods/Gurus names, goto temple now & then, that you will never die. If it were so simple, all the Rakshasas would have become immortal by now. Praying to God doesnt change our Karma- if it did, the Pandavs would never had to roam about in jungles, face continous humilation, Jesus Christ and Krishna himself wouldnt have died violent deaths. If God couldnt save himself, why would he save other people? Besides, God doesnt like business dealers- " I will pray everyday, in return you make me rich, happy, ,long living etc " . God provides us with support, but doenst fight our wars for us, neither does he interfere in our karma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Shanji, I am in full agreement with you. I just want myself to ask,before blaming god, why god should help me? What I have done to please him and he is pleased.If I do for his pleasure, whether it is for my pleasure indirectly? Faith on god is faith on self, and if I blame god for something, Its very clear to me that the blame is ultimately on me.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Blessed Self, I agree God has His own ways which cannot be comprehended by the human intelligence. There is a suggestion that the direction that our karma takes us cannot be altered, even by our god or guru. I wonder if destiny works in a such a drastic and cold fashion. If so, is there no place for 'grace' in the scheme of things of God? Is there no divine intervention at all? Has not God intervened in the life Markandeya or Prahlata? Even Sai Baba is said to have intervened to save some of the devotees from the impending danger? Possibly, they were all devout souls, deserving the 'grace' of Him and perhaps those who met with the tragedy near Nasik were not fortunate enough to have the 'grace' to stop the course of destiny.

Hence please try to understand the God , and never loose faith in My Sai Baba .

Even Sai Baba is said to have intervened Grace is given, but by its very definition it is conferred rarely, & not as a matter of course. Grace is not a right- you cannot demand it, order it, even expect it. It is given but rarely, & there is no criteria for it. Great people like Markendya may have got it, but sinners like Paul(who hated Jesus & was going to attack his followers, before he had a vision & became a Christian himself), Valmiki(a bandit who robbed & murdered many people), Tulsidas(a highly sensous man) also got it. Other great men like the Pandav brothers, Mahatma Gandhi got little or none, & strugled all their life. But they became great inspite of it. And why do you think people dying is such a " such a drastic and cold " action? Is death always a bad thing? Maybe there were to suffer more, but had their bad karma cancelled by death? As such, they got grace, just not the way expected. Grace follows no human logic, & to do Sadhna expecting it as a right is a sure way to lose it. love Shantnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
