Guest guest Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Sairam, Happy Baba's day to you all. May BABA guide us in the right path and give us wisdom to chose right from wrong. We pray with anticipation of getting solution for our problems. We pray hoping to achieve what we desire, we pray expecting to see immediate results for our questions. But does it happen that way. Are all our problems solved, get answers to all our questions? And do we always get what we desire? No, I do not think so. Praying with the anticipation of getting what we desire or aspire to achieve is not calle bhakthi. It is conditioning of mind and aiming to get what we want. True bhakthi, is deep felt in the heart and is spontaneous irrespective of consequences of our love towards the divinity. That is true bhakthi or bhav. Where there is true devotion, the problems of the world seem mundane, the faith alone is enough to make such a devotee feel that - God knows the best and will give true course of action for him to follow. When we love BABA or God indifferently and with complete love and faith, He knows what is good for us and will lead us accordingly. He enriches our lives with experiences the results would be contrary to what we desire or aspire but they are beneficial for our spiritual progression. HE ALONE KNOWS WHAT IS BEST FOR US and gives us experiences accordingly.. Here is the message for the week. "Mrs. Radhabai Deshmukh "Oh mother, why are you subjecting yourself to unnecessary tortures and hastening your death? You are really My Mother and I am your child. Take pity on Me and hear Me through. I tell you My own story, which if you listen carefully, will do you good. I had a Guru. He was a great Saint and most merciful. I served him long, very long; still he would not blow any Mantra into My ears. I had a keen desire, never to leave him but to stay with and serve him; and at all costs receive some instructions from him. But he had his own way. He first got my head shaved and asked Me two pice as Dakshina. I gave the same at once. If you say that as My Guru was perfect, why should he ask for money and how should he be called desireless? I replied plainly that he never cared for coins. What had he to do with them? His two pice were (1) Firm Faith and (2) Patience or perseverance. I gave these two pice or things to him, and he was pleased. "I resorted to My Guru for 12 years. He brought Me up. There was no dearth of food and clothing. He was full of love nay, he was love incarnate. How can I describe it? He loved Me most. Rare is a Guru like him. When I looked at him, he seemed as if he was in deep meditation, and then we both were filled with Bliss. Night and day, I gazed at him with no thought of hunger and thirst. Without him, I felt restless. I had no other object to meditate, nor any other thing than My Guru to attend. He was My sole refuge. My mind was always fixed on him. This is one pice Dakshina. Saburi (Patience or perseverance) is the other pice. I waited patiently and very long on My Guru and served him. This Saburi will ferry you across the sea of this mundane existence. Saburi is manliness in man, it removes all sins and afflictions, gets rid of calamities in various ways, and casts aside all fear, and ultimately gives you success. Saburi is the mine of virtues, consort of good thought. Nishtha (Faith) and Saburi (Patience) are like twin sisters, loving each other very intimately." Chapter 18/19 Saisatcharita BABA bless us and guide us always. Deliver us from sins, and prevent us succumbing to temptations.
