om sai ram

valid points:---

Why would Baba send his children to suffer pain

and misery if human life was that bad?

 

Human beings are here to fulfill certain tasks

assigned to them by the Almighty. And, also to enjoy

and appreciate His creation.

 

Sadness or pain may help a person appreciate the

blessings he has received or will get in time to come.

 

What is needed is Shradhha and Saburi.

--very nice article!!

My dear Mahadavan: I have read what you have written and I must say that I

so agree with you. We must not be caught in the trap of feeling hopeless

about the various states of mankind. Swami says love all serve all. This

means that we must see the light and potential for love in all of us. We

must balance the ups and downs the lights and darknesses.

My existance is painful, but certainly not hopeless, as I suspect that many

many feel very much the same way. There is such an onslaught of negativity

on the earth at present, and it is essential for our survival that we pull

up the eternal light of our Baba, and know the love that he so willingly

shares with us all. Thank you so much for this latest piece of wisdom from

you. In Sai love, Strongwind

Human Life

 

I don’t entirely agree with the way some people predict human life, as nothing

but a miserable, painful, hopeless existence driven by Maya; where wants and

desires are never ending and a man crave for more and more without any

satisfaction.

 

I would like to ask all such people who think along similar lines, just one

question: Why would Baba send his children to suffer pain and misery if human

life was that bad?

 

Hasn’t anyone thought that all humans may come on earth with a purpose and their

presence on this lovely, lively, wonderful planet is not just mere coincidence

or chance but they are here to fulfill certain tasks assigned to them by the

Almighty. And, also to enjoy and appreciate His creation, and work their way

forward by becoming better human beings by their every action and thereby

getting closer to self realization day by day.

 

Those who think only about negative aspects of human life show their lack of

trust and faith in the creator. Since we are the smartest species on the planet

why not utilize human knowledge and skills to improve the living condition of

fellow human beings and other less fortunate species? Spiritual development and

day to day work should be two faces of same coin and not two separate coins. If

all acts are done with a thought of dedicating them to Baba, there will not be

any sense of doership associated with the task, hence no ego either and then

even a family man can progress towards the path of self realization while

successfully performing his daily duties as ordained and expected by the human

society.

 

Just as one cannot appreciate the warmth of sun if one has not experienced cold,

similarly happiness and joy has no meaning if one doesn’t know sadness or pain.

To a man away from home, happiness comes when he is with family and friends. To

a spiritual person, spiritual discourse and songs of praise of the creator give

happiness, whereas talk of atheists causes pain. So to say that sadness or pain

doesn’t serve any purpose will not be a correct statement, as it may help a

person appreciate the blessings he has received or will get in time to come.

What is needed is Shradhha and Saburi. One can go through all phases of life

successfully by believing that Baba is always watching His children and there is

nothing to fear.

 

That is to say that one should try to do his very best in the situation he is

in, invoke Baba in all thoughts and acts, enjoy the beautiful creation, give his

small contribution to human development and try to live a contented life.
