Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Sairam, Happy Baba's day to you all. May the grace and love of Baba envelope one and all and guide us in the right path. Our desire for materialism, glitter name and fame makes one oblivious to the basic human qualities of love, sympathy, kindness, empathy and compassion. We let our needs overtake our basic humane qualities and thus loose perspective of the reality. Only our inner feelings of compassion, love are true and real. God is real, taking HIS name is real. Rest is illusion, tricks of mind and surrounding environment. When we let love for God overtake us, then we have strength and energy to endure the hurdles of life. Then why is it that we cannot love God, and Let HIM take over our mind, thought and actions? The reason is because we relate our happiness to the materialistic satisfaction of our wants. We consider to be happy only if we fulfill our wishes or desires. Happiness is relative, a billionaire might still be miserable where as a poor farmer might lead a contended life. It is the case of seeing if the glass is half full or half empty. A person who is has inner balance and knows that God is real and rest is useless such person is always happy, their happiness is not judge by the material possession they have. Here is Baba's advise to us about the secret of happiness: The Inscrutable Power of Maya Baba's words were always short, pithy, deep, full of meaning, efficient and well-balanced. He was ever content and never cared for anything. He said, "Though I have become a Fakir, have no house or wife, and though leaving off all cares, I have stayed at one place, the inevitable Maya teases Me often. Though I forgot Myself I cannot forget Her. She always envelops Me.This Maya (illusive power) of the Lord (Shri Hari) teases God Brahma and others; then what to speak of a poor Fakir like Me? Those who take refuge in the Lord wil be freed from Her clutches with his grace". In such terms Baba spoke about the power of Maya. Lord Shri Krishna has said to Uddhava in the Bhagwat that the Saints are His living forms; and see what Baba had said for the welfare of His devotees: "Those who are fortunate and whose demerits have vanished; take to My worship. If you always say 'Sai, Sai' I shall take you over the seven seas; believe in these words, and you will be certainly benefited. I do not need any paraphernalia of worship - either eight-fold or sixteen-fold. I rest there where there is full devotion". Now read what Sai, the friend of those, who surrendered themselves to Him, did for their welfare. " Chapter 13 SSS. BABA bless us and guide us always. humble pranams Sairam Anitha Kandukuri http://www.angelfire.com/sd/SaidarbarCanberra Enter today! Win a Hotmail Go-Kart to race at Bathurst.
