The time is not far when I'll give Darshan from the sky!

[Guest guest]

Sairam

 

Swami had once declared, " THE TIME IS NOT FAR WHEN I'LL START GIVING

DARSHAN FROM THE SKY " , and I used to wonder about it. I thought the

crowd of devotees would grow to be so large that Kulwant hall would

not suffice, and Swami would have to give Darshan from so high above

an open ground But now I realise He LITERALLY meant Darshan from

the sky!

 

And many times recently Swami talked about travelling throughout the

world, and again I thought He was talking about physically visiting

other countries. But that's exactly what He's doing now.. travelling

throughout the world Swami talked of a time when the whole world

would become a Sai world, when every person would begin to realize

His Divinity. And now, many people, irrespective of whether they r

devotees, are being blessed with the Divine Darshan, and in such a

unique way that they have to believe in His Divinity.

 

And of course Swami also said, " There will be a time when my

Devotees are worshipped " . Just like the vanaras are worshipped for

merely being with Rama, the Pandavas and Gopikas being revered for

being with Krishna, how fortunate are we, whom GOD chose to be His

contemporaries. Let us never be misguided by the thought that we

have done something right by choosing Swami! `He who chooses the

Divine is in fact chosen BY the Divine'. We can attribute different

reasons for Swami choosing us like past karma and merit etc; but

truly, as every devotee knows in his heart, it is only His

Unconditional, Infinite Love, nothing else. Has Swami ever waited a

second when we called out to Him for help? Has He ever paused to

think about how many rights and wrongs we did in our previous lives?

He is LOVE, and love cannot have conditions, or limits. Once

somebody told Swami, " Swami, You are the ocean of love " . Swami

corrected him, " No. The ocean has limits, but Swami's Love has no

limits "

 

But one thing we ought to understand is that Swami's Love is strong,

and without any weakness, any soft corners. When He says, " I give to

the Needy and not to the Greedy " , it reflects the strength of His

Love. A mother gives her child, what he needs and not what he wants.

When Swami turns a deaf ear to our wishes and demands, or even to

some of our ardent prayers, it is nothing but the strength of His

Love, the Love that endures a few tears now for the sake of a

thousand smiles to come.
