๐บ๐ท๐บ Faith ....
A disciple
approached to his master and said, “Master, I have surrendered my life and
breath to you. I have no attachment for any things of any kind. Just bless me
to be a "miracle man" like you. You have 6 crore followers worldwide.
People follow each and every word that you express on TV religiously. Bless me
to be like you. I want to serve this society.”
Master replied,
“If you have faith in me and others then your wishes will be fulfilled.” The
Master allowed the disciple to stay in his ashram.
After 3 months of
staying in the ashram the disciple came to master and said, “I don't find any
difference in my life, knowledge, wisdom or thought process in spite of staying
in this ashram for 90 days and even after following all rituals.”
Master replied
again, “Have Faith and Patience. Your
wishes will be fulfilled.”
The Disciple then
replied boldly, “I have full faith in you, master, even more than any of your
other disciples. But now I understand that miracles won’t happen in my life. I
think I am suffering because of my past karma. And you cannot wash my karma...you
don't have that power.”
The Master
remained silent.
The next day on
midnight, the master called the disciple in his room and said, "My child,
the time has come for me to leave this planet. My role is over. If you want to
accompany me towards moksha and the next world as well then take the poison
which is kept in the bowl on your table.” After saying this, the master closed
his eyes and laid down on floor.
After a few
hours the master opened his eyes and saw that the disciple had left his
room. He went in his cottage the next morning.
The Disciple was
shocked to see his master alive. The master then smiled and said, “My son, if
you truly had faith in me then you would have drunk that liquid that was kept
on your table. It was the Miracle Potion.
You could have attained all wisdom and knowledge like I have. But your lack of
faith in me and yourself compelled you to apply your logical mind in taking the
decision. Where is the Surrender and Commitment of yours?”
“That's the
reason of your suffering and pain. No master or God can wash away your karma or
sin if you do not have Faith and Patience
in him.”
I have seen
people switching from one temple to other temple simply because they lack faith
even in one deity. People place photos and idols of multiple Gods in their
homes for the same reason as well. On one hand they pray and worship God but on
the other hand they run to their astrologers for knowing their fate. Why don’t
they have faith in the power of the Divine to whom they pray to?
Only a few people
follow rules of no tea, no coffee and no non-veg while taking diksha from their
master. But eventually, after a few days they give in to those temptations and
then they blame their inability on the failure of the diksha.
Sometimes our
master do take our test to bring us back on track by giving us tough
assignment. Although we argue and disagree with him it eventually leads us
towards our greater good. But once you say you have Faith in him as your guru then why do you contradict your statement
by arguing with his training methodology? We then blame our Gurus and keep
changing them like changing clothes or cell phones.
Many people are
constantly worrying about finance, debt, bank loans and the creditors that are
due. They worry about how they will repay their debt and what might happen if
they fail to arrange the money in its scheduled time. They worry because they
don’t have any Faith towards the
Divine. Their faith is replaced by Fear
in their hearts.
We are born in
this world empty handed and that is exactly the way we are supposed to go too.
Whatever we have earned on this planet is by the mercy of His Almighty
grace. Then why do we fear that He will leave us half way on this journey?
Ask yourself this, will you ever leave your child’s hand in the middle of traffic
while crossing the road? If your heart says no then trust the Divine to not
leave you in the middle of the road too. If he has helped you through so much
he will be there for you for whatever is due for you too.
Once you trust
the Divine you will see that all those traces of Fear will be eliminated from
your heart. The belief and patience that you have in your heart are the only
two things by which you can attract anything in your life easily and
effortlessly.
Om Sai Ram.
