What’s your idea of Happiness?

Sairam friends,

Finally, I am doing parayan of Sai Satcharitra with patience. Yesterday, I was sitting near the Tulsi plant in Dwarakamai of Nagasai mandir and read few chapters. I felt happy about it. At night, I got a dream which made me realize I must be careful about the decisions I take in life. Probably, Saibaba wants me to be content with what I have and not try for more. It works for others but not me. Seems Saibaba wants me to accept life as it is.

There are various places in Sai Satcharitra where you can find how Saibaba requests his devotees not to get greedy and accept a simple life. Further, Its the core message of Isha Upanishad.

I am a bit depressed these days and not able to reply mails. I am fed up and wish to listen to some positive, happy experiences from devotees. It seems India being rated as the country where majority of people are unhappy is showing up through the mails I get in StarSai. Won’t devotees write me when they are leading a peaceful life or am I supposed to listen only to the sad part of everyone’s life. When everything goes well, people have Sai in their life and they never express their love for Sai and when something goes wrong, they try to seek someone who serves Saibaba.

Its like, Sai knows all the devotees who are happy in their life (and those who are worried too as he is antaryami) and I only know most of them who are sad.

Few days back, I tried to get happy experiences from Sai devotees.

Positive experiences Shirdi Saibaba

I would like to know what’s your idea of happiness? Is it fulfillment of your desires or day to day happiness with friends and family. We all have those big desires that we wish gets fulfilled but based on my experience, for some people it takes years to happen. So are you going to be sad till then? Some people are unhappy about their current studies, job or relationship. Will you be unhappy about it all your life until life changes?

The cause of depression and other mental pressure is basically the difference between what you expect your life to be and what’s actually happening.

We must learn to life with immense patience that someday, Sai will bless us with peace and happiness.

Meanwhile, Is your idea of happiness going to be too stubborn? Be relaxed and flexible.

Sai is with you.

Aum Sai Ram
