Stay Away

Aum Sairam

Why the lion and deer are together in the jungle? Why the eagle and sparrow are flying in the same sky? They are predators and preys to each other. These questions can be answered by simply saying it is the law of nature.

But, when it comes to humans, they are perplexed with the question why good and bad are together. This type of thinking shows that man is endowed with intellect or discriminatory wisdom, unlike animals, which have only instinctive abilities. Some times, we wonder what wrong we did to stay with people who have no respect for code of conduct or no care for others.

To explain these paradox scriptures quoted the word poorva janma karma. That means all of us have come into this world with certain credits and debts. Until the debts are done, we have to pay for them, irrespective of however painful it would be. It is our own actions [karmas] in past and present lives that make the situations happen in painful or pleasurable way.

The simplest example can be: We drive on the road [with speed limit of 40km/hr] at the speed of 70km/hr; we will be given a speeding ticket. The authority that gave us the ticket has no anger with us. It is simply upholding the law.

Sri Sai says do not refute or reject any one contemptuously, for without special bond from previous life, no one comes to us.

To apply this in our lives we need Sadgurus and Gods grace.

Oh God! Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, and courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
