Om Sai Ram Dear Saurabh ji,Life is a mystery and it is very hard for everyone living on this earth to understand why things always dont happen the way we want them to turn out. Most of us blame it on our Karma ,some of us blame it on God, some of us blame it on fate and destiny and others simply are left confused and wander what went wrong with their faith and devotion.Personally speaking, this is not the first time that I have heard that a devotee tried to gather hints thru chits and stuff and decide abt the major issues of their carreer lives. I am also a devotee of Baba but plz do not misunderstand me when I say that what u did was wrong. If Baba has given you a heart and soul to love him, have faith in him and offer your devotion to him then He has also given you a brain so that you can make use of your intellect. Just imagine that you are giving a test and for every question you have 4 options and one of them is the correct answer and you have to decide

which one is the right answer out of those 4 options inorder to pass ur test. Plz tell me what would be the right thing for you to do--A] Use ur intelligence, reasoning power and knowledge to choose the right answer out of those 4 options orB] Sit with the chits and gather hints to get to the right answer in ur test.ofcourse if you choose the option B- you will fail the test unless there is a miracle or u just get lucky .I am not saying that miracles dont happen but accept the fact- miracles cant happen everyday and atleast not for such issues.You got to do your best and use your knowledge,use ur past experiences,work on your profile,educate yourself more and then make a descion about your carreer. Dont waste your time in playing with the chits and gathering hints. If the chits had the answers to our life problems then we all would have been very happy but unfortunately , the fact of life is --What we sow- we will reap.You do your best and Baba will do the rest

but inorder for Him to do His miracle, you also need to do your part and make use of not only your faith , patience and devotion but also your brains.And dont loose hope, if things did not work out the way it should have-, Try , Try and Try again until you succeed. You will surely get what you truly deserve but you do your part and leave the rest on Him.May Sai make you understand that when He made you and me , He also made sure that we had food to eat so He made fruit trees - He did His miracle but inorder to get to the fruit and eat it- I got to use my hands, my legs, my brains and all that He has given me to help myself to satisfy my appetite..I hope you get my point. And plz forgive me if I have hurted you in any way. Best of luck for your future. May Sai baba's blessings always be with you .Sai bhakt, Deepa Hhttp://debu7366.blogspot.com/
