Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 AUM SAI RAM What is Karma and what is not Karma? Where do we draw the line? On 9th March 2007, at Prasanti Nilayam, Our Sweet Sai Mother speaks to the final year students of the Anantapur women’s campus of the Sri Sathya Sai University. He addresses the students, cautioning them to be very careful in their behaviour. He tells them to be mindful of both their (future) husbands and their mothers in law otherwise they would come to grief. Unfortunately for some of the daughters of Sai Mother, though they assume the best behaviour and they take heed of all the needs of the husband and the mother in law, they have a life of misery and grief. Past Karma, may be. After the torrential rains brought by cyclonic weather in Mauritius, many took refuge in the community centre. There Sai Seva dals met a woman with two children. Her one room house is flooded and she has nowhere else to go. Her husband? - She is not married yet. Can we now place this on the shoulder of her Karma, past or present? Or is it her reckless conduct which is causing her the grief? Do children come first or marriage? Another woman’s house is flooded too. She complains that there is no water proofing on the ceiling. Before the bad weather, she had asked her husband to do the needful to the roof but he chose instead to replace their small TV set with a larger screen. Now, not only the house is flooded to the waist but they owe 35,000 Mauritian on the television set. Is Karma or inconsiderate behaviour which is the root cause of their distress? We are all born with our Karma; we bring it with us as our passport. However, our behaviour is our own making. We desire sex before marriage; we are never satisfied with what we have, we always desire more and more luxury. One wife is not enough, we want two or more. Desire is one thing, Karma is another.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Very simply karma is caused by INTENT.Nothing else. The pivotal point is just this. Watch your thoughts and your actions. Do be aware that there is skilful and unskilful karma. Enjoy life and love the Divine with all your heart. Sai brother. Dr.David Lyons.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Om Sri Sai Ram Sister have to heard the adage " Budhi KArmaanusarey " ??? The Budhi, unless it is bridled through God, his grace and godward thinking it is dictated by the Karma. Karma can be sath karma also. Some people can not see the Lord in the bad. It is Karma that took them to that situation. I do agree it is better to avoid the bad company and devbelop Samyak Drishti all the way. I see in my daily work, the hidden stories of " ASSAULTED " teen moms, they were good Christians and they gave birth to the kids as they do not believe in terminating a life. I Also had seen many teens who date and develop promiscuity who were the victims of incest and assault. If their brains and scarred hearts are diverted towards GOD by a Good Mentor in that critical stage, I do know that the risk behavior would not have developed. The role for SAI Youth and devoteees who are at homes can take up this as a school prject incorporating SAI EDUCARE parenting and SAI EDUCARE value based stories and redirect with the mentoring and tutoring in the academic subjects at the same time. I saw among the community memebers, a girl was attacked and fortunately nothing happened, but the girl and her mother were pelted with stones. Members Volunteer to keep nagging the person all the time with a conduct anlysis that is negative. I simply have begun to have no feelings and non judgmental attitude, but serve them with Swami's love, so that their self esteem gets better and they become survivors. Many teen agers shed tears after I give SAI LOVE to them , and they stop thinking negative about themselves as the destiny is to find the " Christ Consciousness " within them. I think, as devotees of Bhagawan, We are not to judge anyone of their actions, but protect the dignity of Humanness by letting them survive and succeed. Please forgive me if I wrote too much. I see all the time, kids getting labeled and ill treated, I feel it is my responsibility to bring about a discussion that will unravel the skeletons in the closet for many of these unfortunate mothers and kids who get labeled.
