“As you sow so you reap………

[Guest guest]

…… " When one links devotional or religious activities, like visiting a

temple, with the failure of one's son or the sickness of one's wife

so directly, it surely proves that prayers to the Deity or Guru are

not with any other higher intention than simply to be saved from all

the troubles and tribulations of life. Such limited type of devotion

is an attempt to achieve desirable results and not spiritually

experience the Deity or Guru. Such people, at times, leave the path

when their wishes are not fulfilled. They do not understand that the

effects of the actions of the previous lives also manifest in this

life. Sudden and unforeseen incidents particularly, are the results

of the Prarabdha i.e. actions of the last lives. Unwise people do not

want to accept the unhappy results of their own sinful actions. They

aspire only for desirable and good results to all their actions, good

or bad. When in distress, one feels miserable thinking that others

are not facing the same troubles, but one forgets the brighter

aspects of one's life with the sad aspects of the lives of others.

 

Unhappiness creates such illogical thoughts in the mind. Such limited

thinking is like an attempt to stand on the Earth and calculate the

number of hills on the Moon.

 

As written in Shri Sai Satcharitra, Baba has advised such people in

the following manner:-

 

" The reactions to the actions of past lives have to be tolerated in

this life "

 

" As you sow so you reap………………. "

 

" You must surely tolerate the happy and unhappy results of your past

actions. In case such reactions are not complete in one life, then

rebirth will take place………. "

 

" I do every thing for one who remembers Me always with faith and

patience………... "

 

Sadguru Sai had also promised that " I shall help you to bear the

reactions to all your past actions easily, if your faith and patience

in Me is unflinching " . Many such examples can be found in Shri

Satcharitra.

 

Sadgurus do not break the laws of nature, but they manipulate the

Natural Laws in such a manner, that their faithful devotees can face

the ordeals of life rather easily.

 

Therefore, let our New Year prayers to Baba be thus,

" Oh Master, the ocean of compassion, we promise to destroy the

results of our Prarabdha Karmas of the past lives by bearing them in

this life, but we request You to control our inner thoughts in such a

manner that, knowingly or unknowingly, we do not repeat those sinful

activities. " …….

 

Baba Said

 

" Sai knows fully the desire of His devotees and fulfills the same " .

 

Baba is every where just feel him and keep on saying `Om Sai Ram' to

whom so ever you meet.

 

OM SAI SRI SAI JAI JAI SAI!!! Let us pray at the lotus feet of

Bhagwan Baba who is the incarnation of all gods and protector of all,

to show mercy on us, and increase our devotion towards him
