Re Swami on the use of Cell phones

[Guest guest]

AUM SAI RAM

 

There is,

definitely, confusion here, I mean, in the interpretation of Baba's words. Each

devotee must apply the message to his/her own circumstances.

 

When I read

the first posting- Swami on the use of cell phones, I made up my mind to stop using

mine altogether. I deliberately stopped to charge the battery of my Motorola. I

stopped to top up my 'Pay as U Go' local card.

 

A few days

later, it crossed my mind that I might have committed a big blunder. I had

volunteered to contribute in 'Narayan Seva' at the Sai Centre in Russell Square, London

on Sunday 19th October. I was to prepare and to bring a Mauritian

speciality dish. The Seva Convener had given me her mobile number. She had

taken mine. Why? On Saturday night, I woke up several times, stressed. I did

not phone her to confirm though she did not ask me to do so. I could not say

whether she had phoned, my mobile being off.

 

In the

early hours of Sunday morning, I was up. A little before ten, the food was

ready. Stress was still eating me up. I did not phone; I did not know whether

she phoned bla bla bla…. Baba then told me-'Silly! Relax! There is no point in

doing seva if you are going to work yourself up!' I relaxed completely as the

meaning of Baba's message dawned upon me. Once we have undertaken to do

something, it is our divine duty to do it. Once we have given our word, it is

our divine duty to keep it.

 

The

delicious Mauritian speciality dish reached the Centre in time. Baba, in the

form of 80 Narayana, was fed to his heart's delight. The cell phone remained

mute. JAI SAI RAM
