OM SRI SAI RAM
Dear Sumesh, Sai Ram!
I felt very sorry to read that you lost your father at a very young age of 23 which is a formative age - yet to be settled and build up a career. That is the age when you really feel the need of a friend in a father, all the more and always. I mean till that age, we are more attached to mothers - till completion of education. Planning of career, important decisions are usually taken in consent with father though, mother continues to remain the primary person for any one - ofcourse, till the end. Infact, one of my relatives aged 58, always needs her father for taking any important decision. That is why they are called parents for ever and we are children for ever.
Your acts of throwing the books, photos etc., are certainly justifying even from Baba's angle. It was your grief, frustration and sorrow which have done those acts and not the ACTUAL YOU.
But, what Baba can do if something had to happen ? You might have read SSC and there are many devotees who have served Baba personally and their lives ended right in front of Baba.
Were they not blessed devotees ?
Did their souls not rest in peace at Baba’s lotus feet ?
Did Baba not love them?
Love, affection, devotion are all like air, water and food for any one to lead a dharmic life.
We are able to feel only onething that Baba has taken your father away from you. But we may not be knowing whether your father had already taken a better birth or relieved from this cycle of births and rebirths or may be that the task for which he had come here is fulfilled that he had been called back.
Unless and until the debts are fully repaid, no one would be called back. The ‘Jiva’ remains in this body till all the accounts are settled and it will not stay even for a second once the accounts that are supposed to be settled in this present form of body. For settling some more accounts, the same ‘Jiva’ takes another body after leaving this present body – just like us changing the clothes daily. This goes on and on until the Jiva identifies himself as the manifestation of Paramatma – the God – which is self realisation. Jiva is none other than the mirror image of Pramatma.
Six years have already passed. Baba knows very well that you are his sweet child and infact, he knows that you need him. Moreover, Baba wants to take you into his lap and compensate the loss of your father. Try to see your father in Baba.
When a child is not agreement with what the parents propose / suggest, what does it do? It goes away from the elders for a while.... hides in a corner....seeks solace somewhere else eg. friends. But, after some time it has to return to the same parents either convinced or with an alternate proposal. Same way, even though we are angry with our Baba for a while, we have to return to him. Afterall, our relation with Baba did not start or does not end with this birth alone. We have been with him for the past several births which otherwise, we would have not even known his name.
Yes OR No?
Being with Baba is our birth right. Fighting / quarelling with Baba gives me too a lot of pleasure. You can fight / argue with your father for a cricket bat but you can not get even ten paise if you do so with your friend’s father. Why? We have no right there. If someone else gives us it is mercy. If our father gives, it is our right. Baba is our father. We have a right to love, fight, weep in his lap and be with him.
The answers for the questions raised by you in your first post are readily available in SSC. Please do parayan. You will derive peace definitely. If not, this sister is ready to serve you with the answers. By analyzing you will surely not only get the answers, but also will feel enlightened which takes you away from the present grief and that is the need of this hour. Once you are clear, you will enjoy your life a lot in the lap of our father - Baba.
Baba bless this brother with lots of love and peace. Baba pl shower all the choicest blessings on this small brother. He needs you a lot at this very moment.
