Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam April 03, 2016

What is the kind of devotion we must strive to develop? Bhagawan gives us a

wonderful example today.

The life of Prahlada is a testament of real devotion to God.

Though severely tortured by his father, Hiranyakashipu,
Prahlada stood firm as a rock, steadfast in his devotion to
Vishnu. At a tender age, Prahlada planted God firmly in his
heart and withstood every storm and stress. Physical
afflictions had no effect on him and did not reduce his
devotion. The mind steeped in the Love of God is beyond
any shock and strain like the chloroformed patient who is
oblivious of the incisions made by the surgical instruments.
Only Love of this kind can ultimately be victorious. But
today, the devotion of the people wavers with every trying
circumstance. When our wishes are fulfilled, we install many
photographs for worship; and when our wishes are not
fulfilled, we throw out the photographs. Pain is a part of life
and must be accepted at any cost. Pleasure is an interval
between two pains.
- Summer Showers Ch1, May 20, 1996.

Accept pain and pleasure as gifts from God, for there is no pleasure without
pain and no pain without pleasure. Baba
