Guest guest Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 DIVINE DISCOURSE: 19.10.2004 OM SRI SATHYA SAI GANESHAAYA NAMAHA! Sairam to Sai Family ! Embodiments of Love ! (A) God responds to the prayers of devotees and comes to their rescue only when they have purity of heart. One with a pure heart can even alter the sankalpa (will) of God. The story of Markandeya bears ample testimony to this. Markandeya had no desires. He made sacred use of the time granted to him. (B) It is the primary duty of devotees to cultivate noble thoughts and perform sacred actions. Markandeya remained a chiranjeevi (immortal), served his parents, and gave them immense happiness. In the normal course, God's Will cannot be altered. But, sometimes God does change His sankalpa in answer to the prayers of a devotee who is sincere and pure at heart. The devotee has the power to change the Will of God. Devotion does not mean mere vocal expression of prayers; one should have purity of heart.
