Message For the Day…” Regard anything That Happens as a Gift from God …”

The devotee’s feelings determine their concept of God. When a devotee prays, “Oh Lord! I am suffering intensely. Can’t you see the troubles I am going through?” The Lord appears to him only as a pair of eyes. Today, most people meditate and during meditation, they appear like yogis. After the meditation is over, they return to their daily activities, immersing themselves in mundane pleasures. This is not the way of life the Lord preached. Lord Krishna declared: Sathatham Yoginah (Be yogis at all times). Think of the Divine at all times, in all situations, in whatever you see, do, say or experience. To pray to God when you are comfortable and to blame God when you are in trouble reflects a selfish and narrow outlook. What is bound to happen cannot be prevented. Regard anything that happens as a gift from God. It is only when you develop such faith and love for God that true spirituality can grow.
