Issue 52 - January 14, 2017 | | In Australia 2015, Swami asked a devotee what stops him from being completely selfless. Here is the conversation between Swami and the Devotee:
SWAMI: (to a devotee): What stops you from being completely selfless?
Devotee: Ego, desire.
SWAMI: Not ego, not desire.
Devotee: Faith.
SWAMI: Faith! The one who does not have complete faith in God can never be completely selfless. If you have complete faith in God, that He will look after everything, then you can become selfless, because you know that whatever the situation may be, He will take care and you need not worry about yourself. You will truly depend on God.
Narasimha Murthy, Sreenivas, Tigrett -- they have nothing on their own -- they are constantly working and serving others. They are not afraid of anything. It is because they have complete faith that I am in charge and, whether they see Me or not, they believe that I am around to look after them. If you develop that kind of unwavering faith, you will be completely selfless. Develop such faith. This is enough. | | Feeding the Children of India Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu | | With Swami's blessings, the Sri Sathya Sai Annapoorna Breakfast team is happy to inform one and all that Breakfast Seva has started in Cuddalor in Tamil Nadu state (southern India) starting the December 6, 2017.
