1. Please forgive me for my mistakes and ignorance, and please help me not to repeat any sins.
[Smt. Amudha Sambath asked: At Your Divine Lotus Feet, Swami I am 100% sure that I am not worthy and I am an undeserving soul to receive Your grace. But I am holding Your feet because of my selfishness.
Swami's grace on me: I severely felt headache and eye pain. I was bearing the pain till midnight 1'o clock and it keeps on increasing then finally I opened Swami photo in my mobile and I didn't even request Swami to remove the pain but the next second that pain ran away. I felt instant relief and was back to normal. Swami, Please let me hold Your feet to express my gratefulness. Thank You Swami for holding me at all times🙏🏻♥️
I am out of words. Your grace is infinite and love is unconditional. I am not at all a good soul to receive this kind of pure love. I am not even putting 0.1% effort, Dayamaya Shri Dattareya, please forgive me for my mistakes and ignorance, and please help me to non-repeat any sins. I am incapable without Your grace.]
Swami replied:- We must condemn ourselves so that our ego gets reduced. But, continuous scolding of the self is not good. The body temperature should be neither high nor should be low. Both extremities are dangerous. Pride is high fever. Low confidence makes the body cool. The normal temperature of the body is with sufficient confidence that helps you to put spiritual efforts successfully.
2. Please explain the inner meaning of my dream.
[About a Dream: Swami, I thought of sending an email right away but when I opened the inbox I saw some discourse relevant to a dream. I had a dream before some days. Please forgive me Swami if any mistake is there in my way of expressing it. One night in dream, Shri Sathya Sai Baba came and He was sitting on a chair. He called me and gave one rupee with scutch grass, and patted on the cheeks. Swami, Please make me understand the inner meaning of the dream. Swami, I want Your Divine Lotus Feet always. This is my aim and goal forever, and yes I am a 100% useless soul but Swami I want to be Your servant, please help me in putting effort. You are the doer for any goodness and I'm just an instrument or tool. I am full of defects like attraction to worldly bonds, money and issues. But Swami I want to be Your dog who follows the Master (You). Padanamaskaram Swami🙏🏻♥️🌹]
Swami replied:- The dream is good because Swami is trying to give confidence to you. Attraction to worldly bonds is natural for any soul and the worldly bonds must be loved till the soul forms a very strong bond with God. Till you taste the divine nectar, you must love your coffee drink, which is essential and useful also. You should not lose both the divine nectar and the coffee because the mind wants to drink something. It is unjust to force the mind not to drink anything and this is not only impossible but also useless and meaningless. Even when the soul wants a very strong bond with God, the worldly bonds are not hated directly because these worldly bonds spontaneously drop away. Such spontaneous drop out of worldly bonds is not real hatred at all and that alone is true salvation. There is no enmity between God and worldly bonds. People misunderstand God in this concept. The Veda says that God and world are opposite to each other in the sense that when God is tasted the worldly bonds drop out spontaneously. This does not mean that both are enemies to each other. Before the taste of God, anything becomes tasteless including worldly bonds. If you taste the divine nectar, any worldly drink drops out. Does this mean that the divine nectar is the enemy of worldly drinks?
