Surrounded by Despair

Aum Sairam

When one feels depressed one should take the name of Sri Sai. Human beings have a tendency to feel depressed at times, while facing the pain and miseries of life. But, if such feeling of pain and misery is true, so is the feeling of joy and bliss too. One should see Sri Sai in both the situations. In happiness without wasting too much time rejoicing if we help others in getting the same happiness in Sri Sai's name or work for the cause of Sri Sai then the happiness that we derive will be more lasting. Physical happiness is momentary and once it is gone it brings sorrow as mind has a tendency to ask for the same or more happiness always, which certainly is not possible in human life. Whenever you are in sorrowful situation remember Sri Sai's words. "See what comes next". Keeping in touch with Sri Sai internally and thinking of Him reduce sorrow. By reading Shri Sai Satcharitra, by singing Sri Sai's bhajans the sorrow gets certainly lessened. In bad times one must read about Sri Sai as much as one can, meditate on Him, chant His name, sing His devotional songs and help other people who are undergoing pain and misery.
