Does Prayer Really Work? - The Answer Will Come When the Time Is Right Part 04

[Guest guest]

Its beyond us to know how or why prayers are granted. So many

factors are involved that we cannot hope to understand the process.

Timing, karma, grace, the degree of personal effort - all have a

bearing on the situation.

 

There may be another reasons why our prayers are not answered. We

may have karma to work out or lessons to learn. When we pray for a

miraculous cure, we may not see the factors which caused the

illness. Some people receive cures, while others do not. If the

lessons of that illness have not learned, it would be cruel to

relieve the illness, for it would only have to be repeated. But if

the lessons have been learned and the debt paid, then a cure could

endow the aspirant with new faith and determination.

 

Its is always wisest for us to put our trust in the Lord. He takes

care of our needs without being asked when we try to live a good

life and dedicate our actions to him. God is our eternal parent; he

cares for his children and tries to direct them in beneficial

directions.

 

" If a bhakta (devotee) has dedicated his all - body, mind, and

existence to the Lord, the Lord will himself look after everything,

for he will always be with the bhakta. Under such conditions, there

is no need for prayer. But have you so dedicated yourself and

surrendered everything to the Lord " Baba

 

Its is easier for us to learn how to live in the world than to

change it to meet our expectations. We cannot expect immediate

fulfillment of our many desires. Through prayer we learn to accept

that which we cannot change and to change what we can. However, some

prayers do not even require an answer, while others may take a

lifetime to realize.

 

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 always with unity by following his principle of

" Shraddha " and " Saburi "

 

Let us pray to Sri Sai to grant us steady faith and love on him.

 

Jai Sai Ram

Swamy Mahadevan

Bow to Shri Sai-Peace be to all

Baba Bless you ever!!!
