" Never mind others' mind " - Part 6 B

 

Remembering Love - Forgiveness

 

So " Never mind others' mind " Mind your own business, thats the best way to lead

a very good happy and peaceful life to all.I consider this sharing of " Never

mind others' mind " of Sai's message a spititual sadhana, designed mainly only

for my temperament, for my profession, for my vocation, for my avocation, if not

for

provocation

 

Oh the story I could tell. But why create from all the misinformation

for my self again. Some of it is indeed interesting, and would even

hold the attention of an audience. It is far better to forgive the

past. But not in the old way of identifying the injury and

victimization and then pardoning the " sin " . But in a new way, with

forgiveness given a new interpretation, instead of being a disguise

for self - aggrandizement: " I am the poor victim now " , and " you are the evil

one. " Truth is always truth, nobody can able to hide the truth for ever, one day

it will come out like an Iraqi missile in front of everybody (A missive which

took place the form of a missile from my dear sister Meera), because Truth is

God, God is Love, so " Love All - Serve All " Always tell the truth for ever

 

Forgiveness now understood as, " I am the creator of my own experience

by choosing my attitude and response " . " Therefore, I am not judging

your behavior or intent. I bless you, and I choose to trust in a

Higher Power for the right and perfect outcome. "

 

Consider, O man, whether you earn any lasting joy at all from your toil from the

time of your waking in the morning to that of going to sleep at night, a toil

incessant and limitless, a toil which often does not leave you even a moment's

interval to call to mind the glory and grandeur of God! No wonder that even

though God is everywhere, those who have seen Him are few and far between. God

belongs to all, but there are hardly any who actually claim Him as their

everything. Thousands there are who extol the beauty and majesty of God in

elegant prose or poetry, but few are the souls that receive His Grace. For the

sweetness of nectar is known only to those who place it on the tongue, and not

to those who in spite of collecting it in cups, caskets or even barrels, but do

not taste even a drop! Without God's will nobody can even have HIS Darshan also,

because God is Truth

 

We don't have to judge. We need only to remember the Love that is

the true reality of both " ourselves " and the " other " . Forgiveness is

remembering love, and through returning love for every event and

circumstance empowering ourselves and others.

 

It is then, we are in a favorable position to remember the Love that

" we live and move and have our being within.

 

" Nowadays, people seek to realize God while clinging onto the world and its fake

joys. This is like the mother-in-law who hated her daughter-in-law so intensely

that she wished she would become a widow. But she loved her son so much, she did

not want him to die. How could the girl be widowed if the son lives? The two are

incompatible. God cannot be gained through attachment to falsehood!

 

" Love is the surest means of attaining true awareness. Do not inflict pain on

anyone, through thought, word or deed or e-mail. Control your passions, emotions

and impulses, especially anger, envy and greed. These thrive on the ego and make

it into a dangerous weapon. When you are enslaved by your passions, how can you

stand forth and claim respect? Only cowards yield to the senses and passions.

Brave men face them and win. The hero is the one who overrules the mind and

curbs the impulses; the zero is the one who is overruled by them. Stand fast,

like a rock when the waves beat. Have faith in your ideals and in God. Do not

allow faith to falter when failure comes to your door. Meet it as a new

challenge, and triumph

 

When you go to the market you cannot get even a small handkerchief if you don’t

pay a certain amount of money. Likewise you cannot attain Divine Grace unless

you offer your love to God. God is also like a businessman. What sort of

business is He engaged in? Not worldly business, purely spiritual. He receives

your love and showers Grace on you. Surrender all your thoughts and worries to

God and receive Bliss in return.

 

Your heart should be like glass, with the spiritual light illuminating the world

outside, and the world outside reacting to the inner urges, making people lean

towards service, sympathy and help. What one learns should be put into

practice. It is chiefly a matter of well-timed and regulated discipline. It is

not done by spurts and skips; it has to be climbed step by step, each step being

used as a foothold for the next. Nowadays, there is no systematic living

according to any known principle, either in the case of the student, the

householder, or the master or mistress of the house. Virtues should be

cultivated at home, each member sharing joy with the rest. This attitude should

be firmly adhered to, so that it may stay as part of one’s character.

 

Everything should be within limits. Talking, eating, enjoyment, even love -

should be limited. Then you experience true happiness. If things go beyond

limits, you face danger. For example, the body temperature is 98.4 degrees

fahrenheit. When that is your temperature, you are perfectly normal. But when

the temperature goes to 99 degrees, fever has set in.... Your blood pressure

should be 120/80. If the lower number goes up to 90, you may have heart trouble.

The eyeball can visualize certain light intensity. But if you look at light

beyond that limit, the retina will burn. So, life is a limited company. Lead

your life within limits and also don't troubles anybody thro showing your " Love

Drama " at all, if you did this, then you yourself will be in trouble for ever!!!

 

Baba Said

 

" The body is a house given to you on rent. The owner is God. Live there as long

as He wills, thanking Him and paying Him the rent of Faith and Devotion "

 

" Life is given to you for you to realize lasting bliss by the right use of the

body, the mind, the intellect, and the inner motivator (Ahamkara). You have to

acquire the wisdom to lead such a life based on the love of God & not as per the

way you want "

 

" Compassion means reflecting in our minds the joys and sorrows of others, and

responding with exhilaration and sympathy. For this to happen the mind has to

be cleansed and transformed into a fine mirror. God will respond to your

prayers for relief only when you too, respond to the needs of others. Life

should not be wasted in selfish activities, blind to the distress and groans of

others "

 

" How do you decide in any particular case what is dharmic (righteous) and what

is not? That which does not inflict pain on you or on others – that is right,

that is Dharma. So act in such a way that you get joy, and that others too get

joy. Act as you speak, speak as you feel, do not play false to your conscience,

do not cover your thoughts in a cloak of falsehood. Do not suppress your

conscience by forcibly enslaving it and embarking on actions of which it does

not approve. That is the dharmic way of life. Frequently doing right makes it

easier and easier; habit grows into conscience. If you once establish right

conduct, you will automatically follow what is right. What you do depends on

what you are; what you are depends on what you do. The two are interdependent

to a great degree "

 

" Everyone desires happiness and wants to avoid sorrow. But in this world,

happiness and sorrow, truth and untruth, righteousness and unrighteousness,

justice and injustice are not permanent; they pass and change with time. People

should recognise and adore the source from which these pairs of opposites

arise... We should be able to welcome sorrow in the same way as we welcome

happiness. One with the quality of equal-mindedness is a true human being. You

should therefore trust the Divine and experience His love in your heart "

 

" There should not be any flaw or defect in your words. You have to see to it

that you always tell the truth. Some people think that in times of difficulty

they can modify the truth. They may even feel that it is necessary to tell

untruth sometimes. But in difficult situations, you can develop sufficient

cleverness to keep silent, instead of telling either truth or untruth. If you

tell the truth, tell it clearly and sweetly. Do not tell truth in an unkind

way, or tell untruth to endear yourself. In some circumstances you may have to

be very careful. You should know how to use words without hurting people " .

 

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

 

Let us pray Shri Sai to give us the intellect and wisdom

to make tomorrow's world a happier place to stay by following

his principle of " Shraddha " and " Saburi

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
