Why Me ?.................

[Guest guest]

My Humble Pranams At The Divine Lotus Feet Of Our Ever Present Beloved Bhagawan Sri Sathya SAi Baba!

Sairam Brothers and sisters !

Lets not be too hard on ourselves.circumstances make us feel why I should endure this what wrong have I done ?I haven't hurt a single soul in this life time but still why these things happen to me? like this we keep on asking ourselves and also our beloved SWAMI the question "WHY". We should all understand that each one fo us are unique in the eyes of GOD.Each one of us are Special to GOD.We feel guilty for what ever we think we are doing and don't want to consider ourselves special.WE put a question to ourselves saying "I am doing all wrong things.I am having all bad thoughts.I am a sinner "then how can I be divine or how can God reside in me or how can I be special to SWAMI?

All these happen because we forget out true identity as to who we are?for what purpose we are born?how can one escape this life cycle of birth and death?Swami has in so many discourses says question yourselves as to "Who am I".Am I the body?or am I the mind? .The answer is we all are sparks of the divine.We are caught up in the worldly rat race that we think that the outward life that we are leading is the TRUTH why?because we are perceiving all the external activities thru our sense organs and because of the body attachment.Then we question ourselves as to then how are we supposed to be in the external world?yet stay blissful as SWAMI says.is it possible?The answer is Yes.This is the true sadhana that each one of us should be doing.

All the time we keep on brooding over the same matter again and again saying My problem is biiger than anyone else's.similarly others too will feel the same.All the time it is "MeMINE". When we come out of this false ego,then we tend to get closer and closer to GOD.We compare ourselves with others who are better than us.Are we looking at those people who are less previlged than us?are we thinking in what ways we can help each other?No because its always "ME and I" which pop up.

People tend to say its very easy to say than when you actually face it.but believe me no one in this world is with out a problem.It may vary from person to person in different proportions.

We have to be selfless.Take the example of Mother Teressa.She came all the way to India to serve the poor people of calcutta so selflessly.When we expand our hearts we receive the grace of the GOD.Expansion is LIFE Contraction is DEATH.We have to broaden our views.if we are narrow minded we stay where we are as of now.There will be no growth in our spiritual path.

For each difficult situation we come across, we say Swami why did you have to do this to me?what wrong did I do?.We blame GOD for everything,because its very easy to blame.

Is it worth blaming HIM for each and Everything?Who is responsible for the misery that we are facing in todays world?We have to balme ourselves for all the things that is happenning.The way we think ,makes us to perform the right or wrong actions.

When we deviate ourselves from the spiritual path we come accross so many hardships.

When each one of us transform ourselves individually,those around us will also transform.When each family transforms the society gets transformed,when a society gets transformed the country gets transformed.Then the whole world gets transformed.Swami's pure unconditional love pulls us from far and near.He has set an example at each stage how one should conduct himself.How much he assures us that we should not worry at the passing clouds.

Swami's words are pregnant with full deeeper inner meaning.We can't just take it on the face value.

Its just like how the Director knows what exactly happens the next scene because he has directed the movie ,written the lines,chosen the actors.similarly each one of us are actors playing a role.The wire puller is God as we can see this statement in the Holy Sri Sai Satcharitha.

The one supreme manifested into many and we are that many.Thats why Swami tells us that we all are Divine too.When we are born we are born with the garland of our good and bad action.So at what time we have to face the hardhip,when we enjoy the fruits of our past actions are all predetermined.

When it is predetermined ,we should not worry.we have to finish our Karma and see that we are not born again.Swami has said that when you face hardships Thank God saying that "God My karma is ending.Thank you".

Coming to the question Why Me? Lets all ask ourselves why we are here? the answer is we are here becuase we have n't passed our examination.What is this examination?its our self realisation.why self realisation because we have forgotten our way home that is the source from where we came from.

just like in the physical world we have different papers to be answered,we too have to pass the examination conducted by the LORD in various aspects in various values.Are we egoless?are we selfish?are we jealous?Do we hate each other?Do we have unconditional love?so these are the papers which we have to pass.unless we pass we keep on repeating like supplementary exams birth after birth.God gives situations like what we feel as bad situations to pass our lifetime exaimnation.When we think deeply we can see a clear image of what GOD is trying to do.HE is trying to mould us into being one with Divine.

Everyone of us have a role to play.Lets play it fair and receive an award from the director for our best performance from the DIRECTOR thats our LORD,THE LORD OF PARTHI.

In one of the discourses given by Sri Sanjay Sahani,he has said "The nature of the caterpillar is to be a beautiful butterfly so also the nature of man is to be DIVINE".

Lets all understand the inner significance and be better individual souls and merge and be one with SWAMI.

Follow the Master, Face the Devil, Fight to the End and Finish the Game.We have to follow our LORD within us,face the devil within us,fight to the end and finish the game,the game of self realisation.

 

JAI SAI RAM!
