Sai message for the day

[Guest guest]

We don't find out our own faults. Even if we recognise them, we

justify them and because of our narrow-mindedness, we don't

understand your infinite love. We doubt and limit your love. As ill

luck would have it, you don't seem to look at our faces when we sit

in dars'an lines- and sometimes it appears that you are avoiding us.

We are depressed because you don't talk nor do you at us. How are we

to take and face this sad situation?

 

Believe it or not, from top to toe there is not an iota of

selfishness in Swami! Whatever I do and say, it is for your own good.

Why am I harsh with you at times? It is my love for you, and in order

to check and transform you, I pretend to be harsh and serious. If I

don't feel that you are mine, why should I bother to correct you? It

is my duty, since you are mine, to set you right when you are wrong.

 

You feel sad when I don't talk to you because you value my words.

Your wavering mind and your shaky faith make you listen to and act

according to the words of some irresponsible persons. You are carried

away by them. So, there arise some undesirable thoughts in your mind

and some unbecoming traits in your behaviour. Therefore, I act as if

I am keeping you away from me. Why? My intention is to correct you

quickly.

 

Take one example. When a road is under repair, what do you do? You

take a diversion and pass through another route, don't you?

Similarly, to bring about reformation in you, very often I pretend to

be avoiding you and not observing you. The day you change, everything

becomes normal, just as the traffic is resumed soon after the road is

repaired. God, out of His intense and infinite love for you,

incarnates only to correct and guide you. So, I treat in this manner

those people who tread along the wrong path in my `hospital' of

Prasantinilayam. Soon after they are cured and their health is

restored, I discharge them, and then establish with them the same old

and usual relationship.

 

I have to re-affirm, re-establish and rejuvenate your faith. I have

to lay the proper and strong foundation for you so that you may lead

a happy and dharmic life. I have to infuse self-confidence in you so

that you don't fall victim to worldly, sensual pleasures. Your prayer

may not bring about world peace. See that you don't have bad

qualities like greed and violence. This is a tough, rough and

difficult path to follow. But you have got to follow it. Tarry no

longer and do not allow the bad qualities you have long adopted and

nurtured to have a firm grip over you and your life. Do give them up

forthwith.

 

In the olden days when anyone fell sick in Puttaparti, they used to

get him treated by a non-medical, unlettered, unqualified and

inexperienced fake doctor. As a result, the condition of the patient

often became very serious. Later they began running to places like

Anantapur, Chickballapur, Vellore and so on to save the patient. Had

they given proper treatment to the patient by a senior qualified

doctor, this situation would have been averted. Isn't it so? Some

Gurus, self-styled, who have failed to solve their own problems, go

round like beggars, and you run after them. What do you expect from

them? Don't give any scope for ego and pride in you. Accept God as

your guide and director in your life and follow him strictly.
