Sai Darshan II, Part 2 - Message 67
The devoted one
The devoted one
Spoke to the Lord
With tears in his eyes
In his prayer one day,
"O Lord
I have done
Whatever You have said
In order for me
To see you...
I fasted for days
Without a single crumb...
I read the scriptures
Without a wink of sleep...
I went on pilgrimages
In every place of worship
I renounced my loved ones
And gave up all my possessions
But You did not come, O Lord?"
"I did come" said the Lord
"Then I did not see You
O Beloved Master."
The Lord replied,
"My child, you did all...
Except...
Except you forgot one thing..."
"What is it, Lord
That I forgot to do...
Please tell me
O Lord
And I shall do
What is left
So I can see you
O Compassionate One."
The Lord replied,
"O child of Mine
That has turned
Every stone
One stone you left unturned
You practiced all
From day to night
But forgot
'To believe'
In whatever you do...
Your strength within
Was but My presence
Always...
But you wished not
To know Me
As you...
You wished for Me to dome
From above...
From around
From somewhere else...
And I, O child
Am the slave of love
That is born
In the heart
Of the devoted one...
Once you have believed
In your heart, O child
You shall always
Find Me
And then the penance
You shall perform
Shall be
The fire of My strength...
The fruit of which
Will always be yours...
Bliss! Peace! Truth...
And the constant awareness of it!
