Does Sai Baba Support Love Marriage
The answer to this is definitely YES. Baba hasn't got anything against Love. He showed love to all and supported the people doing the same...
But the question is which Love was He talking about?
I would like to ask all of my friends a question?
What do they think is the center of their life?
The answer can be different for different people and it could be like: Baba, Morals, Family and our lost Love..... I would personally salute to those who would answer as Baba.
What I felt out of my experiences is that I made center of my life a human being. I could see my thoughts, happiness and sadness governed by a single person. I had created a boundary for myself and I was blaming the circumstances for it. Even a minute thing done by this person used to make a huge difference to me. My life was revolving around a mortal like me.
We read Satcharitra which tells us about the center of life... What I feel right now is that If we are going to make some person or some materialistic thing as our center of life we are bound to get hurt and lose our focus and happiness. We will not be our self and our behaviour, happiness will change with the mood swings of the person whom we have made the center of our life. People are bound to get separated either in living form or dead form. We have to accept the reality.
We always think of asking Baba, and tell Him that we have surrendered to His wish and His will? But have we actually done that? We want things to happen according to our wish and will. Is it truly surrendering to His holy feet?
We are human beings with limited vision and power for a purpose. We have ability to see backwards but we can not see in to the future. There is a purpose behind this. If we ask Baba for something, there must be a reason that He is silent. He knows better what is good and what is bad for us. If we are supposed to get something asking once only is sufficient or not asking at all will also take us to that thing. If something is meant to happen it is going to happen and if it is not meant to happen something better is going to happen. In this game of life
The rule number 1 is : We just have to believe that somehow the dots of life are going to connect,
rule 2: we are not allowed to look forward to connect the dots of life.
The question is: We want Baba or we want from Baba?
In Mahabharatha, Arjun wanted Krishna, who would be just be a charioteer and would not even pick up a weapon and Duryodhana had full army of Krishna. Everyone knows who won the battle. So better ask for Baba rather than asking for these things. He has promised that He will take care of basic things and there will be no dearth in devotee's house.
We are so much obsessed with the thought of getting something that we actually visualize the happy moment of winning it and fail to see the moments after that. It might happen that you get what you want right now but see yourself again on the same situation where you are right now. Its going to be more painful at that time.I had experienced this. Now I realise that I don't want to experiment with my life further. Learn it from example or learn it from experience. Choice is yours!
Try, try and try: you will succeed, Do not quit and you will get what you want.
Is it true?
Yes absolutely it is true. But sometimes there is a right time to quit. And just imagine the cost incurred in getting something and living by it. Giving away everything you have to get something is not always BRAVERY, sometimes its FOOLISHNESS.
Sometimes not getting what you want is just a wonderful Stroke of luck!!
If out of ignorance I have said something wrong, I would like you people to guide me and ask forgiveness from you all and from Baba. This is just what I had experienced in last 11 years.
The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
