Once
a merchant asked a sailor how his grandfather and father had met their
end. It seems they both had died on the sea. So the merchant asked the
sailor whether he was not afraid of sailing on the sea. The sailor then
asked the merchant where his forefathers had died. He was told that
they had all died in bed. Now the sailor asked the merchant how he was
not afraid of going to bed! Everyone’s life shall come to an end
somewhere, somehow; but the wise alone achieve the Divine Vision before
the end. If you have the cool spring of devotion within you, the fires
of anxiety cannot harm you. Then, every visit of calamity will take on
a new meaning, as a sign of Grace, to harden and toughen you, and make
you seasoned timber, for His purpose. Be an instrument in the hands of
God; let Him use you for any purpose He prefers.
Bagavan Sri Sri Sri Sathya Sai Baba
