“The formula that Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi prescribed, was to uphold the qualities of tolerance, compassion, uprightness, sacrifice and non-attachment and to practice these resolutely in every sphere of life be it professional, personal, religious or social.”
God’s love for His children can be compared to a mother’s love for her child: it is self-sacrificing and selfless. As says the Sai Satcharita, “A mother cleans and bathes her child, despite his wails and cries and even forces down bitter medicine to keep the child in good health and cleanse him of all diseases.” Similarly, when our life is in turmoil, it means that He is cleansing and purifying us. Just as gold has to pass through a furnace before it glows brighter, we are made to undergo pain and suffering so that we come out cleansed of our negatives and our sins and emerge stronger, with hearts that are illumined by His divine presence.
Pain creates a special bonding between God and His children, which no happiness, however big, can. So thank God for every sorrow and let each loss make you a person of wisdom and immense inner strength. heart emoticon
