Sairam friends,
After being with Sai for several years, I continue to be selfish. When I kept on worrying about the girl whom Sai showed in dream, I realized that I have become narrow minded and self-centered. This is not how Sai expects me to be. For all the experiences Sai blessed me with, he must have expected me to take it light and focus on so many other good stuff I could do.
Ofcourse, I suffered a lot and the experience is still embarrassing. This doesn’t mean, I must only think about it and get depressed.
There’s so much to do if we divert our mind from our own difficulties and focus on doing good to others.
I will tell you what are real difficulties –
- If you or your dear one’s are suffering from incurable disease.
- If you lost your dear one’s
- If your husband/wife – Father/Mother lost their job when that’s the only source of income when they have kids to take care of.
These are few difficulties which you must worry about.
There are other difficulties
- You brokeup with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend
- Your boyfriend/girlfriend cheated you and getting married to someone else
- You can’t get the job you desire
- You can’t get admission to pursue your education.
These too are difficulties but you must not be too narrow minded and self-centered.
Try to divert your mind and focus on alternative ways to keep yourself engaged. I want you to be active and think about other stuff which will help you rather than worrying about what happened to you.
See what else you can do to improve your skills.
Learn to respect good friends around you.
Most of the time, we take it granted as we are already blessed with good parents and some good friends.
We only seek attention from the one we desire. We must learn to give equal importance to everyone in our life.
In simple terms “Be broadminded”.
One of the greatest nature we must adopt from our Guru is being selfless and thinking about everyone’s welfare rather than our own happiness. To tell you the truth, its not that I bothered Sai a lot pleading him to answer me why he showed me dream of this girl. I am also looking for ways I can do little good deeds to others. These days, I speak to Sai during my everyday prayer – “Sai, give me lots of opportunities to involve in good deeds”.
I might continue to be selfish and worry about own life. I will never get anything out of it. Sai won’t mind it because he made me realize my mistake.
Saints only make you realize your mistake. It’s up to you to change your nature or remain as it is.
There are people who could be benefited by what I do.
You too can look for what good you can do to others rather than worrying about your own life. Ofcourse you can be sad for a while. You need comforts in your life to survive. My request is, atleast learn to be broadminded.
So lets see how long I am going to remain self-centered.
I will never be happy if I am like this.
I need to change.
Om Sai Ram
