Devotion and dedication lie in our efforts and therefore, those are what He looks for. Once those qualities are there, the 'called' get 'qualified' for whatever task He envisions. <br /><br />Thank you once again and keep me in your prayers.Aravind Balasubramanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12053197579712922104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-83443929638678922052015-06-28T02:47:36.957+05:302015-06-28T02:47:36.957+05:30Sairam. This is a great Sai blog story to read aga...Sairam. This is a great Sai blog story to read again and again. Well written with good proportion of emotion, suspense,love-devotion-skill and storyline (sorry to call divine experience with these adjectives) Sketches are very good. Today while reading this again for the nth time, i think its Vijaya Sunder's devotion and dedication which took him closest to Sai, more than his talent. Not all talented boys get closer to Sai indeed, and I am very sure Sai sees a pure heart and gets it closer. The way Sai picked up Vijay for studying in his university, and then slowly holding his hand throughout the experiences were mindblowing. I think college was just a medium which Sai used to draw VIjay towards him. Lucky boy for he got the Sai love, which he wanted. Brother Aravind, you know how to make a reader read this again and again. Keep up!

I also go to chromepet samithi, and i am very excited now to hear that Vijay brother was also part of the same samithi in the past doing service before becoming sai student. Very nice depiction of Vijay brothers experiences. we are eager to know which other sketches did Vijay brother do in Swami's presence? What other cute experiences he had with Swami? Did he sketch other devotees like Satyajith? I know Vijay brother showed Issac Tigreet's sketch to Swami. What other momemnts of joy was Vijay brother blessed with? I never saw Vijay brother and i heard that he never came back to chromepet after becoming student, but heard about his experiences. Now more interested to know from your writings. <br />GuruGurunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2573862620010562638.post-46796557162764419832014-08-23T09:49:29.432+05:302014-08-23T09:49:29.432+05:30Thank you for your affection and appreciation.

If the 'bad' done is itself rewarded with 'punishment' like this, I have absolutely no doubt that the good we do will surely be rewarded 100-fold by the Lord. Surely all the good I have done in the past will not be in vain. Swami knows every bit of all that I have done. I have done it only because I love Swami and because He likes us being good and doing good. I'm sure He will reward at the appropriate time.

Believe me,it was only through your writing I gained back my faith and strength after Swami had left His physical body. I would arrive at the right time,to teach, to remind that I may feel lonely but I'm never alone and inspires me to do His work too.Tears would just pour reading your articles. You have no idea how your work is touching someone's life. May Swami bless & inspire you to write more. Please do not stop writing.
