Belief, or, Fate and Free Will

[Guest guest]

I have always believed that I personally am the author of my life experiences. I believe that after one passes away he will evaluate what he has already accomplished in his former lives and compare this to what he yet needs to accomplish before he can earn liberation(mukti). He then organizes his next life to work on some of these deficiencies. I am told that I am in my 207th life. After we organize our next life and program ourselves much as we would write out a script on a computer, we are reborn in circumstances to accomplish these goals. I has always had the feeling that I am the author of whatever occurs in my life, both good and bad. I was fortuntate to spend time with Sri Sathya

Sai Baba over a period of time beginning in the early 1970's. The first time I had his darshan was on a Sunday after travelling from the USA. He came out with thousands of people in the yard for darshan and came straight up to me and said "So you have finally come, Go" His attendant explained to me that he wished for me to go to the his residence at the back of the yard and wait until he had finished darshan. He selected about twenty five men and the same number of women and we were seated in the screened porch at the front of his residence. Over an hour later he came into the room and greeted us. There was an Italian woman with a baby standing in the corner on the womens side. The baby was crying and Swamy materialized a banana and threw it to the women who fed it the baby that stopped crying. He talked with several people and materialized vibhutti and other item for some of them. All of a sudden it

felt as if someone had touched me with an electric charge and Swamy turned to me and asked me to go into the inner room with him. He told me all about myself and my family and said that we had agreed to that meeting before either of us had taken these present lives. He said that if I agreed to it he would manage my life, but If I disagreed he would not be bothered about it. I had the good fortune to visit him over the years and I would tell him of the feeling I had that I was the author of everything that happened to me. Often this would irritate him and he would tell me to not worry about such things. One day, after the same conversation, he said that I was right. He said that each footstep he took during this lifetime he had already planned before comintg into this lifetime. He often told us how fortunate we were to have his company at that time as in years to come there would we so many people coming there it

would be impossible to see him then. He also said that he was aware of it whenever anyone thought about seein him. It did not sink in until over the years I had friends who made many attempts to visit him and something would always happen to prevent it. I did not realize at the time how fortunate I was to have such access to him. One time during darshan there was a women at the back of the yard crying. Swamy eventually came and stood in front of her and I overheard him tell her that it was her actions in her previous life that prevented him from visiting him for some twenty years. He said that it was her good deeds she had accomplished during this lifetime that had permitted that meeting. Swamy also said that when someone does a bad thing to you, you earn much more grace if you do not retaliate.An interesting thing occurred in regard to my Naadi reading with Narayana Shastry. He was accurate in many

aspects of my life and also said that I would marry and have two sons. Later Swamy told me not to marry and that he would handle things. I think he knew that I was aware that I knew the reading spoke of the two sons. I believe that he has permitted me to be in contact with the entities that were supposed to be my children.I was waiting for a bus in India once with a woman who spole English. She asked for my birth date and birth place and my name and told me much the same information that the Naadi reader had done. The bus arrived and I departed and have never seen her again.This has been much longer than I had planned and I apologize for taking up so much of you time. Aaronavathaar

the karmaphala is. Those that are very firm are hard to change, and

those that are less firm can be changed through will-power and grace.

Dialogue with a good jyotishi will clarify the difference between

things you may find easy to change and things that would be much

harder to change and are better accepted.
