The vastness of the Absolute One none in the cosmos can ever confine…compress…or constrict...nor can any mortal His actions ever predict…
Every bit in creation has its personal dharma.
Exhibiting sole devotion, while clasping its dharma close, the rivers flow on satiating the craving of many a thirsty being…so too, fragrant flowers bloom joyously…whereas, water laden clouds embrace the earth with refreshing monsoon showers…timely.
Likewise, it is the dharma of breath…the essential dharma of the five elements…to balance the life force energy; and that of the sun to everlastingly shine upon all, seeking nothing in return; justly so too, it is the dharma of the individual soul…to seek ‘that’ elusive Oneness…that bliss which epitomizes the Soul Supreme.
Thus, appropriately…it is the dharma of those devoted to yearn and long for the Source…be immersed in complete adoration of the Beloved One…crave, desire, covet…divine interactions and experiences…so as to quench the quest for fulfillment - the cause for the sojourn upon earth…eventually, gradually, steadily deciphering this sanctified alliance, affinity and association with the Master to be the exclusive reason and purpose of birth…
As a transcendental consequence, to the play betwixt the Lord and His devotee, the Adored and the adoring…it is the ‘dharma’ of the ever Compassionate One to respond…and He will do so…albeit at the right time…for only He is aware of the right time…and the exact ‘when’ the time is right. Accordingly, whatever time He does so select…automatically, unquestionably, beyond any and every doubt, quite significantly, becomes the right moment…the prized moment…to be sacredly cherished in the arms of time through approaching eons as well as the chronicles of history…blazing a regal trail…as His Story.
Surely, the element of surprise is entirely His prerogative?
He is Truth…
He is Love…
He is Light…
Having somewhat glimpsed and experienced…
…the splendor and grandeur of that Glorious Form…
...the glittering grandiose of this most Magnificent Incarnation...
...of the Ultimate Absolute as Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai...
Oh, so naturally…
…one desires to delight in more…
…to know more…
Ardently, persistently…unweariedly…
…awaiting an encore…
…from deep within the core…
His Will exudes His Might…
His Words reassuringly do hope ignite….
While intense faith and utmost conviction awaits the triumph of His Word and Will…
Still…
The Beloved One…Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai says – Love My Uncertainty…
Hence…
...falling in line quite judiciously…
Time…
…along with exalted Sages and the Ancient Ones…
…though extremely eager for the proximity of that beatific Appearance…
…respectfully steers clear never to overstep….
…and speculate on an exact date…
For it isn’t wise nor sage to presuppose, forecast, predict…
…the Supreme Being…the ever Radiant and Resplendent One…
…that Sacrosanct Spirit…
Can anyone direct the direction of streams and rivers…?
…the movement of stars and planets…?
…or advise scented blossoms when to bloom…
…or trees when to bear fruit…?
…don’t fruits ripen when the time is right…?
The Divine is beyond human deductions…
…it is not for any entity to decide and forecast…
…the date of Advent…
…howsoever well meant…
Think about it…
Pause and ponder a bit -
…can we predetermine…and fix a ‘finite term’…
…upon One so replete with Power and Might,
Who is eternally Indefinable and Infinite…?
…can anyone bind the Boundless…?
…the foremost Sovereign Source can we ever assess…?
Nevertheless,
While we seek His marvelous largesse…
…to bathe in His compassion and grace…
For the advent of the Supreme Being…
…the Supreme Personality of Godhead…
…we must refrain from demarking a definite date…
Instead,
…let us evaluate our progress constantly…
…value and revere Beloved Bhagawan’s mystique and mystery…
…His captivating Charisma and magnetic Charm…
…His vividly Matchless Glory…
At the treasured Lotus Feet…
Let us offer loving obeisance…
Adoringly…
…while surrendering our soul’s sole appeal…
…and pray -
That He may…
… in His impeccable benevolence address…
…our pleas…
…and our pains pleasingly redress…
...for, it is our right…our entitlement…
…to beg, beseech and implore Him to acquiesce…
…and our aspirations…
… abundantly bless…
Then, with deep veneration and profound reverence…
… await the fulfillment of His Will…
…the Triumph of His Word…
…in true humility completely aware -
That the vastness of the Absolute One…
… none in the cosmos can ever confine…compress…or constrict...
…nor can any mortal His actions ever predict…
