This is a totally wrong kind of prayer. Difficulties must be welcomed and must be overcome. By overcoming trouble, the Divine must be experienced. You cannot get the juice of the sugarcane without crushing it. You cannot enhance the brilliance of a diamond without cutting it and making many facets. The body is like a sugarcane stalk. It is only when it goes through various difficulties that you can experience the sweet bliss of Self-realization. That sweetness is Divinity itself. Where does that sweetness reside in man? It is in every limb and organ. (SSS. Vol XXIV – Chap 23) Awaken the Divine within you... <http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/40.gif> Love All, Serve All <http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/40.gif> -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "saimsg" group.
