Swami's Rules and Regulations

[Guest guest]

Many Feel bad, thinking that Swami does not speak to you. But, you do not enquire whether you are following Swami's teachings or not. I too follow certain rules and regulations. When I give you something, you should make proper use of it. Otherwise, what is the point in My giving? When I give you what you ask for, is it not your duty to do what I say? I feel it is better not to speak than to speak and lose the value of My words. Each word of Mine has immense value associated with it. I will fulfil your wish only when you obey My command. God does not have anger or hatred towards anybody. But, you have to face the consequences of your actions. As is the action, so is the reaction. Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavathi (as is your feeling, so is the result). If you are good, I will certainly yield to your request. Sometimes, I behave as if I am angry, only to put you on the right

path. Without understanding this truth, you feel bad that Swami is ignoring you. To what extent have you given place to Swami in your heart? To what extent are you putting His teachings into practice? I take all this into consideration. - From Swami's Discourse in January 2001
