Once a man stood in the middle of the road.
His head looked up to the sky.
His eyes were filled with tears,
As he continuously stared at one spot
And repeated "Oh God", from time to time.
A man passed him by,
Looked at the man who stared at the sky,
And curiously stood behind him.
He looked up at the same spot in the sky,
And wondered what vision of God the man saw.
When another man passed the two men
Who looked up in the sky,
He too joined in the line,
And stared and wondered,
As to what is it these two men were able to see.
To him the clouds above seemed
To be shaped like Lord Shiva Himself.
"Maybe this is a Darshan of the Lord", he thought.
Soon there was a big line of men
Staring up at the sky.
Finally one man who passed looked at the queue,
And asked the last man as to what he saw.
He said he was not sure,
So he asked the man in front.
This went on until the first man
Who was still staring up was asked,
"What is it, Sir, that you are able to envision?"
The man with tears in his eyes replied,
"My neck is terribly strained,
And I am unable to move."
All of a sudden the queue dispersed
And the men moved on disappointed.
Do not try to experience Me through another.
You will always face disappointments.
I come to each one of you directly.
Do not believe or develop faith
By experiencing others' faith in God.
Come and experience Me directly.
Can a child from the third standard
Teach a child in the second standard?
No ! He will be able to answer
Only some of his questions.
He himself is in school waiting to get his degree.
You must be taught directly by the teacher.
The teacher himself is qualified
And has gone through
All these levels to be able to teach.
So find and dig your own path to Me.
If you depend upon others faith,
And if that person loses faith in Me,
It will automatically affect your faith in Me.
So approach your Guru directly.
Do not be influenced
By others' faiths and experiences.
To Me, each and every one of you are special,
And My relationship with each one of you
Is a unique and endearing one.
