The
reason to fear about the future lies in our feeling of insecurity.
There is no need for fear if we completely rely on Baba. God would
look after our 'tomorrow', once we cast the responsibility on Him.
In right spirit we can take anything we receive today, be it pleasure
or pain. Likewise, God might avert our troubles of tomorrow or might
as well provide the mental stamina to face them. It would be foolish
to worry about them much in advance, because, it is the very God
who writes every chapter in the book of life from the prologue to
epilogue. Hence, every page is meaningful. It would be enough to
trust His feet. When we have unflinching faith in Baba, He would
protect us much like a father who shields His children. He even
teaches us the essence of life as a father would to his children.
An astrologer predicted that Tendulkar's son would fail in his examinations
as foretold in his horoscope. But his wife went to Shirdi and implored
Baba for His Grace. Baba said 'with trust in Me, let him write the
exam'. Tendulkar's son wrote the exam with faith in Baba and came
out in flying colors. We too can ignore a matter once we leave it
to Baba saying, 'Baba! It's upto You as to how You will solve the
problem'. We can keep children around and enjoy narrating them the
Leelas of Baba. Our faith in Baba will stand us in good stead.
