Sairam friends,
Spiritually, I feel little worried as I did not keep my words. Few years back, I had prayed Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala that I will offer my hair to him but I didn’t do it yet. Recently, I prayed Lord Venkateswara to call me as before I loose all my hair, I wanted to offer my hair and have his darshan. Somehow, I am not able to go. I asked him to forgive me but accept my love for him and protect my parents. I will surely keep my words because I know his powers and his love on me.
Sri Venkateswara – The God who opened eyes for chanting his holy name
A month back, when I was coming back from Madurai to Coimbatore in bus, I saw an old women so thin that I could see her skin sticking to her bones. She was walking in a small path towards a place where there were few huts. As soon as I saw her, I turned back towards her as the bus was moving fast. I thought what life is this? Why should this women work so hard in this age? She was carrying some dried wooden sticks on her head.
I must have seen her not more than 30 seconds in my lifetime but the experience remains in me forever. I kept looking at several ordinary Indian’s during that journey and thought about their life. What happiness means to them? What’s their dream? What’s their real need?
I was really upset about something today. Though I remain happy and sad alternatively, I don’t feel comfortable when anyone around me are not happy. Sai devotees tell me their stories for years. Some stories are too hard for me to digest and I have no words to reply them. If I care so much for people whom I have never seen, I like to see everyone around me happy. Atleast, they must not be upset unnecessarily. I may be able to speak to few and may not like to speak to few but basically, everyone are Sai’s children. They may or may not be a Sai devotee but they are living in the same era when I live and I am supposed to keep people around me happy.
Sometimes I am fed up and think why should I care? But I can’t give up easily. I did all I can and now left it to Sai.
Having said that, I wonder if I care so much for my own Mom? She keeps telling that she has severe pain in her leg for past one month. I took her to Doctor but I hear her bearing the pain at night. I immediately tell her not to worry and that its going to be fine. “Words”. That’s all I have.
Its just “Words’ and nothing more.
Words to heal
From people I come across in day to day life, to people at work to people I might never seen again…
All I have is words
For words really are powerful.
That’s why when Saibaba lived, people were eagerly waiting for his utterances.
What Sai said will come true.
Sai will give his life to keep his words.
Keep doing good to people. All it takes is some good words.
