Most of us give credit to our capabilities if the goals set before us are reached without any hurdles. Again, our faith in and devotion for Baba would get intensified if we could achieve our purpose relying on Baba's grace. But, then, things may not always happen as we planned in life. We do encounter adverse situations. Then, despite our best efforts, we may fail to attain our goal. Success may slip out of our hands when we are about to grasp it.
We should never lose faith in God wherever, whenever and in whatever manner we may encounter adverse conditions. Only those who trust in Baba as their everything and seek His refuge are the true devotees. It is not true devotion if we trust Baba if everything happens as we wish and lose faith in Baba when we get disappointed and despaired. They are not true devotees of Baba. We should not lose faith in Baba even if a blanket of darkness blocks our way. We should not get disheartened by failures. Indeed, Baba tests our trust in Him in hardships. Failures should not sink our spirits. Let us treat failures as stepping-stones to success. We must persist in our efforts to succeed. God helps those who strive and wait patiently for Baba's Grace. Certainly our life gets illuminated.
