You seem to think that I punish you,
When I take away from you, your worldly riches. You think of Me being cruel, When a loved one parts And says goodbye by death. But these are only My ways to reward you, To redirect your goals, To realize the insignificance of possessions, To reduce and diminish your passions, You call love! I want to swivel you away from these addictions, That leaves you helpless In your eccentric fantasies. Your only one true possession is “God”. The riches of all worlds is within you - To Love All, to Serve All! From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan October 08 Men are spinning cocoons for themselves. They suffer because they can't come out of them into a world of light. They are like the monkeys caught by the wandering beggar, dancing at the end of the rope and begging coins from those sitting around the ring. Sankara said he would willingly offer the monkey (mind) to the Lord so that He may teach it tricks that will please Him and use it for getting alms for Himself. That is to say, Sankara proposed to fill his mind with thoughts of God, so that the monkey would be tamed and made to serve God's purpose. You too must make the mind the servant of God, not the slave of the senses.
