Where are you Sai? Are you in the Photos, Statues or in Shirdi or every where, in every atom of this universe?
I went to Nagasai Mandhir and came home. My parents had argument with me that am purposely avoiding their suggestions and going to be with my Sai friends all life. My Father told me that he din’t liked the fact that I keep saying Sairam stuff always and that he fears I will become saint in few years. I told him, I can only marry a girl I like and I din’t come across such a girl yet. That doesn’t mean I am going to leave this life and become saint. Secondly, Sai doesn’t expect it from me too.
While arguing he mentioned, I have stuck Sai’s photos all over the house and this time, I really got angry. I removed most of the photos in my room and told him “Sai is in my heart. Having these photos or statues doesn’t make any difference to me.”
My father said but you keep thinking that Sai himself will do good to you without you taking any efforts. I felt very sad since my Father told me about his health issues and wish that I get married soon. I don’t know what to do Sai. I just don’t like this topic and argument at home. Please give us some peace of mind. My parents feel I am hurting them and adamant and simply passing my time.
As I get old, I don’t have much hope as before. May be I will never come across a girl I like and even if I do, I don’t have any reasons for a girl to like me. I am just another ordinary Indian.
I simply eat, sleep, work on my sites, write some articles, listen to some devotional songs, learn about Startups, Entrepreneurs, Make fun with friends at work, drink coffee, go to temple, simply sit in corner, Do some service if I get chance, come back home and sit in front of my computer.
My parents feel I am living a virtual life and doesn’t think practically. I din’t take any efforts to do my Phd as my parents desire. Its in my mind and am considering it but as if now, that’s not my priority.
Anyway, Such arguments happens as my parents want me to live happily. I understand their good will but I know Sai has his own ways to do good to me. People don’t have patience. I too don’t.
We all want something from Sai like a package. Honestly, blessings don’t happen that way. Sai is working on us when we actually think Sai doesn’t care for us.
I had this Sai’s Photo for more than a decade in my room and when I see the space in the wall empty, I realized Sai wants me to see him beyond these Photos and Statues. These are material objects. Sai does live in them but after a period, we must realize Sai lives everywhere and in every life.
Sai is in every atom of this universe and in the deepest walls of your heart as Antaryami.
Where is Sai?
Sai is every where.
I see Sai in my parents, good people, good friends and even in material objects I use.
Sai resides in my heart and in every atom of myself.
Sai, You are my heart. You are my soul.
Please bless my parents with good health, long life and make them happy.
Love,
Venkat
Edit: My Parents kept back the Sai’s photo I removed from Hall and my father said he only told it and doesn’t mean to remove it. They just feel upset and worry about me. Please forgive me Sai for hurting you and my parents.
I agree with you Venkat… SAI is omnipresent and it takes time for us to understand that its our eyes that want us to see him residing in his photos or statues but the ultimate reality is the idol is created by a sculptor and even the photos are creation of some one amongst us….. you are a blessed soul and Sai has chosen u for some purpose…. might be soon a day will come when ur father will understand and feel happy about it….
