Jai Sai Ram.
We have to understand that everything that manifests in the world is all part of a great cosmic drama, a drama that was written aeons of time ago, if not before time. All that we can do is observe, react and draw lessons from that drama. I recently went to a seer in Bombay, who reads from some palm leaf scrolls called The Book of Brighu. Now these scrolls were written thousands of years ago and yet this gentleman was able to read the scrolls and not only tell me events about my life both past, present and future but also about past and future lives. Whether or not he is accurate remains to be seen but if he is, then, it is apparent that much of life is preordained or predestined and that all we can do is respond to it. Sai Baba says that what you meet in life is destiny, but how you meet it is self-effort. So we observe and take part in the drama but what is important is the place from which we view that drama. Sai Baba says that the colour of the glasses that we wear colours all that we see. In other words, if we wear red lenses in our glasses, then, everything that we see is red. If we look with the eyes of love, then, all that we see is love. If we look with the eyes of spirit, then, all that we see is spirit. If we look with negativity then all that we will see is negativity. If we look with positivity then all that we will see is positivity. That is why it is so important to go within. It determines the reality of what we see and, therefore, how we react to it and how we react to it determines our actions and, therefore, our karma.
God, Infinite Spirit, call Him what you may, is orchestrating this drama. He is the author. We are just the actors in His drama. Because He has written it, we have to trust that it is perfect. We have to trust the author. We have to trust the part or the role in the drama that has been assigned to us. We have to realise that since we are infinite, eternal beings, we are never born and so we can never die. Every death, every act of suffering, is not an act of random fate, of blind chance. It is an act of destiny. Therefore there is no such thing as a tragedy. As Sai Baba says, "Everything is perfect. It is just karma working itself out." In this certain knowledge, surely, we can be more at peace both with the world and with ourselves. Knowing that no one is born and no one dies we can accept the world for what it is, an impermanent, ever changing stage onto which, as Shakespeare said, we have our entrances and our exits. Remember that the spirit is never born, never dies and never suffers. It is eternal and infinite. It is the observer of the drama as, indeed, is God. When we are one with our divine spirit we are one with all knowledge, all wisdom, all power. It is at such a time that the drama of life is seen for what it really is, a drama!
