Jai Gurudev!!
Last Thursday, I had been to Sai Baba temple at my area. Infact that's a house converted to temple . The family dwelling in that house has converted their hall into the sanctum santorum . And the speciality here is Shri Sai Baba is idolized in the form of Shri Maha Vishnu , standing under the Adisesha . The Pujas are also performed in a very orthodox , Vaishnavite way , with Bhajans , Prasad , Mantra chanting , Flower decoration, reciting of Shri Sai Sat Charita , Maha Mangal Aarti etc,, Very nice to participate in the Thursday puja of Sai Baba and to be a part of the whole process . So enchanting and mesmerising , that it induces me to visit every Thursday . Thursday being a very auspicious day for the Guru , it adds to the speciality of the celebration that happens there.
We can call it as no less than celebration , because we can see that whole process is being carried out not by one or two persons , but a collective of 15 plus , including men and women , kids and elders alike ...that too with lots of fervour and devotion .
Infact I felt a wave of Devotion in the ocean of Divinity at that instant !!
A quote rather an anecdote was said spontaneously by the prime person , who conducted the puja, supposed to have been inspired by Baba's subtle presence ...
"Our Life is like that of a Boxing game !!
We are indeed boxers . By being in this spiritual path , it's not that we will not get to face any problem .
Problems do come , like how a hit or blow comes to the boxer . And it's the boxer's timely presence and capability , both mental and physical , that would cause him to resist the attack.
There will be times, he may have to fall down. But immediately , he bounces back with enhaced energy and will power to fight against the opponent.
In the whole process , he not only gets stronger and stronger , but gets more and more joy on the gain of every point . "
What a plain truth it is !!
Thinking on those lines ...munching the truth in my mind ... a day or two scrolled by...
That saturday , I had to face an opponent ( ofcourse I mean the destiny )...I had cut myself , aittle deep cut in my left hand palm with a knife, while trying to cut something , resulting in a few sutures , unable to move the left hand. I couldn't carry out my normal routine with both hands .Only one hand doing every thing from A to Z. Now I'm operating the keypad also in one hand .
But u see , I remember that boxer story , thanks to Baba , I could very well place my opponent ( the unfavourable events ofcourse !) at bay and still am able to post an article in the blog !!
Here I have pocketed one more point to my account , no doubt !!
Jai Sai Ram !!
Love & smiles...
