MIRACLE

"Praise God! I am ready for a miracle! I expect a miracle!"

What is a miracle? Is it some good that is so out of the ordinary, so unexplainable that I feel it is surely an act of God? Of course, miracles are from God, but they are a provision of divine law that is in effect at all times and for all people.

Knowing this is true, I am ready for a miracle. I acknowledge that according to the divine plan, miracles are happening - for me and for my loved ones. I expect and accept that the healing, prosperity, understanding, or peace that I so desire for myself and others is happening.

I maintain my faith in God and expect a blessing. Ready for a miracle, I do not limit myself or what I receive. No matter what the need may be, I expect a miracle and I accept a miracle!

"Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find;

knock, and the door will be opened for you."

- Matthew 7:7

GEM 861

Just as it is natural for a seed to become a fragrant flower, so it is natural for man to experience the bliss of the Divine Sath-Chith-Ananda.

Your Faith

Time Of Death

At the time of death, one has to leave behind all that one owns.  Wealth and status too do not accompany you.  Your friends and relations may come to the burial ground to bury or cremate the body, and thereafter all will return home.  Only the good and bad acts that you have performed in your life will accompany you.  Your next birth will be carved out according to your deeds in this life.  In order to remain good, you  must cultivate respect for truth which is permanent, whereas everything else including your body is subject to change, decay and death.  So it is desirable to undertake various practices to win the grace of the Lord at this young age when you have the energy and ability to learn and concentrate.

It is quite probable that some of your friends may point out to you this is the age to make success of yourself in worldly affairs.  They will advise you to earn money and enjoy life.  According to their way of thinking, the pursuit of God can be kept in abeyance till the age of retirement from active life.  But, in actual fact, the young age being impressionable and formative is the right age to develop sacred ideas and practice spiritual sadhanas (disciplines).  It is common knowledge that if throughout one's life one pursues maya, then at the time of death, it will not be possible for you to lay the foundation for a good future.

Q546

Are the intellect and the higher knowledge present in the external world or are they to be found within man?  Where is Ganapathi to be located?



He is present within each human being.  There is no need to seek Him in the external world.  Ganapati dwells in every human being in the form of intellect and wisdom.

An Expansion of One's Self

There is one friend in the life of each of us who seems not a separate person, however dear and beloved, but an expansion, an interpretation, of one's self, the very meaning of one's soul.

VEDA 63

One should not fear God. One must love Him so much that all acts He disapproves are discarded. Fear to do wrong. Fear to hate another; fear loosing grace. Do not ascribe to God the failures due to your own faults and errors.



(From : Sai Veda, The Word of God,  sayings of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)

A Woman

There is a woman who always keeps her head up high,
Her eyes sparkle like a bright star in the sky.
She has the stamina, beauty, and courage that one would admire,
Even the love and happiness one inspires.
She is a women that one can always count on,
And a women that sees no wrong.
Her beauty shines from the inside out,
It flows like a journey down a long route.
Her smile shines beautifully like the sun rising over the horizon,
And her intelligence, wisdom, and hard work are not surprising.
She is a genuinely caring women who goes the extra mile 

to help one in need or broken hearted,
And throughout all of her hard work, no one ever sees her fall apart.
