Every Day
is a Celebration
The Speaking Tree

By SANT RAJINDER SINGH
Some of what happens to us each day is God’s will. We also
have free will to choose, and we can make choices that are going to be
beneficial to us and those around us. Our journey in life is a process of
evolution of the soul.
Sooner or later, the soul is destined to return to God. The
end goal that God has for us is that we attain this freedom. At the right
moment, we get a helping hand when we think all is lost.
Ernest Shackleton dreamed of crossing Antarctica by dog
sled, a 2,100-mile journey. Shackleton and his team began the journey.
Unfortunately, the boat taking them to Antarctica hit an ice pack and sank.
Luckily, the men survived, but they found themselves in waters with drifting
ice floes.
The nearest land was 200 miles away. The nearest human
outpost was 1,200 miles away. They salvaged a one-ton lifeboat that they pulled
with them, crossing from one ice floe to another. When they reached an area
that did not have any more ice floes, they got into the lifeboat, but the waves
were often 90-feet high.
Somehow, they made it to an island of ice, which had never
been crossed before. It took them seven months to reach civilisation.
When they finally arrived, they told their friends that they
felt the presence of an unseen power guiding them on.
The beauty of God’s unseen hand is that sometimes we
actively pray for help and receive it, but there are many times when we do not
even ask for help, and help comes anyway. These times are reminders to us that
we are not alone.

Quote
from the True Charm and Power of Vedanta
Protected
by grace
The Speaking Tree India | ET
By Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
When Draupadi was being disrobed in public, Krishna was not
present. He was not even aware of Draupadi’s predicament.
So how was she saved? Krishna faced a crisis in Dwarka.
Salva, a king who held a grudge against him, had ransacked Dwarka, killing and
burning everything. So he was not aware of the happenings in Dwarka.
How then was Draupadi miraculously rescued? For Grace to
function, I need not be mentally aware of what is happening to you. A certain
investment of energies is made; it takes care. If one wishes to be aware, it’s
possible.
But most of the time one does not wish to be aware because
too many things are happening. These energies will lubricate the passage of
life for you. And if you are open to it, it happens even unasked.
For the unreceptive, it will not work, even if you are
wealthy and powerful. If you are not open to Grace, everything will come to
naught. You are like a machine. Without lubrication, you are stuck.
I think it is Udhava who asks Krishna, “In many situations I
have seen you and doubtless you are a divine manifestation.
You are definitely no ordinary man. But why is it that you
can’t handle these problems just like that (snaps his fingers) for people? When
somebody is struggling, why can’t you just do that?” Krishna said, “Nobody can
work a miracle unless the recipient is in full faith. So don’t expect such
things when people are not receptive”.

But, if
He exists?
I
drive joy There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 minutes in the morning and
evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed
at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on
something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well,
if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He
exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten
minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy
that I derive 4m.
