Sairam friends,
I often use Whatsapp to communicate with my friends and even some Sai devotees whom I know for the past few years. When I say Whatsapp, it includes all cloud messaging platform. Since Whatsapp is popular in India, I have taken it as an example.
In my previous job, we had groups for the team, multiple teams, and in fact the whole office. When I left the job due to fate, something I felt good about was not being a part of any Whatsapp group.
Trust me. Whatsapp group is a distraction. It might connect like-minded people but some Whatsapp group includes strangers in it.
Example – My Father is a part of the Whatsapp group for the small Ganesha temple he and his retired friends takes care of. I tell him not to be a part of it but he doesn’t listen. My intention is that no one should come to know one’s mobile number until they provide it.
Whatsapp group for Sai devotees saying you can post Sai chanting, Bhajans, Photos and Videos doesn’t personally work for me.
I am completely against it.
I don’t like it when a girls mobile number can easily be accessed by anyone. It’s not ethically right. Girls have a common misconception. They thing anything “Sai” will only have good people involved in it.
Honestly not.
I keep listening to stories from girls who write to me about how they got close to someone they met online, or from temple or even from a college or school.
I will tell you the problem with cloud messaging apps.
Millennials like to Text and not to talk. Understood but it’s not always good.
One of the bad habit with many people today is giving their number and simply messaging and never talking.
Why I don’t like it?
Girls from traditional homes are messaging their boy friends or even some stranger for that matter and the relationship gets complicated. She might be in living room of her house and building relationship with someone she assumes is good.
May be, he’s really good but most of her relationship is being built on “TEXT” messages and pictures or probably videos.
Such a “Text” based relationship eventually creates emotional pain when things don’t fall in place.
Secondly, I should have listened to at least 3-4 stories where these girls and guys are getting influenced to talking stuff beyond the limit.
I know married men and women messaging someone they like and this annoys me to core.
How was the world before 20 years? Bad relationship was still there but now it has got more convenient.
There are some good love stories emerging on such communication too. This write-up is for young Sai children who are addicted to someone who don’t deserve them.
Cloud messaging platforms are addictive. You message someone and keep waiting for them to reply you positively. You never know if their words genuine or they simply write stuff to keep hold of you.
I write this today since many people like you have mailed me about problems in their relationship for over 15 years. Only in the last 2 years, I see the pattern of the way they build relationship itself has been through text messages and pictures.
As long as the girl and guy involved in a relationship are pure and fully committed such Whatsapp love could be good. But when your partner doesn’t like you anymore, they can message someone else so fast than you could imagine.
So build real relationships.
Don’t be addicted to any relationship.
If someone doesn’t bring happiness to you, quit them and move on.
Life is beautiful.
Venkat
