Some areas of land face torrential rains,
Other lands, on the other hand, May face only occasional showers. Some lands need these heavy rains, To survive and be productive, Some lands on the other hand need Only scattered rains to produce a crop. On some lands, There are no floods due to heavy rains. The land absorbs the water and Drains the rest due to its sloping surface. Other lands cannot face heavy rainfalls As water stagnates and destroys the crop. Compare this rainfall to My grace that descends. Some receive a lot of My grace. Others may receive an occasional shower, Some souls need this constant grace For them to become Godward. Others may take leaps and bounds towards Me With a scattered amount. Some souls receive My grace abundantly And it does not affect their egos. They do not get flooded with pride. Others, when they receive too much, May not use this grace to march forward, But may get flooded in ego And pride becomes stagnant I always give whatever is needed. Just enough to make you grow spiritually. I do not want My grace itself to become a hindrance In your path back to me. From: Sai Darshan by Seema Dewan May 30 Even the slimy slush of the gutter has the opportunity of turning into pure water again. For, when the Sun shines, it can rise as water vapor into the clouds and regain its pristine nature. To cleanse the mind, prayer is the water and repetition is the soap.
