You might have heard the story of Laila and
Majnu. Laila was a rich lady while Majnu was very
poor. She wanted to know whether he really loved her
because she wanted to marry him. She thought of a
plan and sent two of her maid servants to him. They
approached Majnu and told him that Laila was very
sick and was in need of blood.
Majnu said that he was
willing to sacrifice his life itself for the sake of Laila
and that her well being was his prime concern. When
this was conveyed to Laila, she realised how pure and
selfless Majnu’s love was. She repented for not having
properly estimated Majnu’s love for her.
Likewise some people do not understand Divinity and the inner
meaning of God’s acts. God does not desire anything
for Himself. All His desires are meant to uplift and
redeem the lives of His devotees. Whatever He does is
only for others.
(From the Divine Discourses of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba)
