All
humans may look alike by appearance. But, when we observe their
mind and behaviour, we find some people fickle-minded. Some people
though erred, they repent for their bad behaviour and resolve to
turn good and go ahead. Is it not a mark of mental vacillation when
one changes one's opinions frequently, doubts and believes whatever
others say without exercising the God-gifted power of discernment?
What is the use of human birth to such ones? Hence, one should never
lose faith in God but remain stable and peaceful.
There lies a ball of steel underneath a tree. A fallen leaf lies
beside it. It is mid-summer and wind does not blow. To the onlookers,
both the ball of steel and the dry leaf look like dolls. After a
while, wind blew in gusts and the dry leaf rose up. The minds of
some people, like the dry leaf, lend their ears to whatever people
say and give their nodding approval, devoid of faith in Baba. They
blow away in the direction of wind. They cannot keep the image of
Baba steadily in their minds despite reading the life story of Baba.
What Hemadpant could not get despite his many years of perusal of
Guru Charitra, Sathe was blessed with the vision of Baba after a
mere seven day perusal of the book. Sathe was blessed because his
mind remained steady at the Feet of Baba like the ball of steel.
