By faith I mean you should be happy genuinely and not just think, "This is good for me" and cry. Because when we truly believe something is good for us, we will be happy inspite of the near term pain. The pain will not cause suffering. <br /><br />Start with that faith. 100% Swami will take care because that attitude and thinking is surrender. ONe who surrender is ALWAYS taken care of.

You should pen down your experiences as a student too in some form. :)<br />You may not get time to do that once you become a doc! :)<br /><br />Glad that the story helped you. It helps me too to recollect and reminisce. May our love for Swami grow stronger every moment.

I too picked up the book with lot of enthusiasm and finished it within 2 days. Reading the article yesterday reminded of my hostel days 3 years back. The best part about all your articles is the beauty with which the love of Sai and His students is brought out. It brings a smile or gives tears, makes you feel connected altogether. It stands as an example, the extent His students can go for the sake of His love.Or else who would prioritize God over the world? The article served both the purposes yesterday, came as a succor to my dilemma stricken mind and reminiscence of my hostel days. Thank you for re sharing this lovely article Brother.

Hope you have got it.

That did not bother the waiting boys. They knew that He knew and that was enough for them."<br /><br />Many of us even now continue to 'wait' for various things in our life because of faith in Swami and the strong signals that He has given us in the past. Even though His physical form isn't there, He does respond to sincere prayers made with love for Him. I have experienced it. As you say, the world outside might term us mad and ask all sorts of questions. But each of us and Swami knows what we are going through. <br /><br />If possible, please do share more experiences of brothers who have gone through intense and long waiting periods before Swami blessed them and guided them on various aspects in their life. Pls request brothers to share their exps. for people like us who can take inspiration and hold on to Swami with faith. I'm sure their experiences will be moving and reassuring for us.Aarthi Krishnanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14623368078756467850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-15325750284115802802013-08-12T12:27:54.387+05:302013-08-12T12:27:54.387+05:30:)

That will become a mantra for us without doubt!'<br /><br />Even if Swami hasn't said anything to us physically, if we truly believe it is He who sends us messages in the form of sms or lines from His discourses or something we come across after praying and opening a book or something we listen to from Radio Sai, it is as good as His spoken word to us. And we have to simply hold on to it, I feel. This is my conviction.<br /><br />Thanks so much Aravind for this beautiful post.
