On a late Friday night as I was listening to a discourse on Radio Sai, I
had this sudden intense yearning to be connected with Swami which I had
not felt in a year or so. At that moment, nothing else mattered except
for his pure love.
On Sunday evening, Swami, in his own way, gave us an
opportunity to distribute blankets to the homeless to beat the chilling
winters. Again, I had not taken up any service activity in almost a
year. The seva got over really late and I had my dinner only
after that. I have a strong feeling that Swami answered my prayer to be
connected with Him by giving me an opportunity to connect with the most
needy and share His love with them.
The seva was a very
enriching experience and also an eye-opener for many of us about the
harsh realities of life. The most important lesson for me was that it is
always God first (the intense yearning and praying for love), others
next (that prayer for love got translated into a joyful seva activity), and yourself last (dinner, at last).
