Sairam friends,
I was praying Sai Baba a desire I had last week. I kept thinking about it and asked Baba if he is OK with my desire because I always ask Baba’s approval no matter what I want in life. I was confused because 4 years back Sai showed me a dream based on which I took a decision. I was wondering if I did a mistake misunderstanding Baba’s guidance in dream. Nothing helped me but I was more worried since I don’t know if Sai is fine with my desire.
Yesterday, I went to Sai Baba temple. My friends were cleaning Dhuni Mai. Hence, I just roamed left and right in Dwarakamai because I can’t stay in a place. he he…
I walked to a book shop in the temple and opened a Baba’s book in which I read the following words said by Baba
“Do not force me to do what I don’t like”
I understood Sai is not OK with what I desired and gave up my thought.
Sometimes, I regret for taking decisions based on dreams and hints Saibaba gives me but that’s how I like to trust in Sai. Even if I loose something because of his guidance, Its OK because Sai only will do good.
Then, I distributed prasad in which there were lots of ants. I came home and slept of remembering Goddess Andal as she keeps guiding me in dream now a days.
I did not get any dream specifically and was bit concerned about it.
Anyway,
I just wish to convey this to devotees.
There are situations in your life when you ask Baba to bless you with something you desire. It could be related to your career or personal life. Please think practically and be ready to give up your desires. We must think good and do good. We can’t be desperate to get what ever we desire and must have the ability to calm down our mind. Guru Bhakti is not an easy process. There will be situations when your devotion on Guru might even hinder your happiness but will a Guru ever let you down in life?
Some pains you face when your desire is not fulfilled must be accepted as an experience. I take all that happens in my life as experience Baba gives me for the love I show on him.
Saints have two responsibilities. To encourage good desires and wash away desires that they believe is not right for us.
Many of you think Sai is supposed to do good to you by fulfilling all your desires.
Learn to have faith in Sai even when things don’t happen as you desire.
Accept life as it comes.
Guru cares for you beyond what you desire.
Om Sai Ram
