Thought for the day

Sunday, September 10, 2023

We all aspire to be recipients of God’s grace. But what must we do to achieve it? Bhagawan lovingly reminds us today.

Mysterious are the ways of the Divine. It is difficult to comprehend how the Divine grace works. There are innumerable instances of God coming to the rescue of His devotees in times of need. Sant Kabir was a weaver by profession. One day he fell seriously ill and was unable to attend to his duties. The all-merciful Lord, in the form of Kabir, wove yarn and thus came to his rescue. Similarly, God came in the form of a potter and helped Gora Kumbhar by making pots Himself, when he was in distress. Sakkubai, an ardent devotee of Lord Panduranga, continuously chanted the Lord’s name. One day, she could not perform her daily chores since she was running a high temperature. Even under these circumstances, her husband and mother-in-law would not allow her to take rest. At this juncture, Lord Panduranga assumed the form of Sakkubai and performed all her duties. It is impossible to understand how, when, and where God would come to the rescue of His devotees. Absolute faith is essential for God to manifest. - Divine Discourse, Sep 03, 1999.

Chant the name of God day in and day out. That alone will protect you at all times.

—Baba
