When one links devotional or religious activities, like visiting a temple, with

the failure of ones son or the sickness of ones 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

ones 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 Gurupoornima 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.
