Mere intellectual faith acquired over a period of time by reading books, discussions etc., may develop certain amount of conviction in Him but this level of faith is not enough, even though at the earlier stages it may be necessary. People are often seen saying, even publicly, that “I can sacrifice my life for Baba” or that “In this world 1 can depend on nobody except Him fully”. However, if we closely observe their lifestyle, the way they interact with people, their reaction to adversities of others, their reaction to individuals and groups around them in the society, one would find that their proclaimed convictions are a mere exercise in substance-less assertiveness. If the faith in Baba is genuine, they would. not be indulging in the manipulations they do in relation to other people being fully aware that Baba many times forbade people, and reprimanded devotees for committing such acts to satisfy their smallest of interest. We have to watch whether we are acting truthfully, howsoever difficult it may be, according to the advice of Baba. Faith reflects in everyday reality. It is not mental luxury or a philosophical dream. Therefore, on this Guru Purnima day besides the celebration, that we would be observing, let us seriously think about this strength of our faith in Baba.”……. ______________________________\ ____ Get the toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar./toolbar/features/mail/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
