RKV Nataraj
2002 Prasanthi Nilayam

Swami always talks in higher order in order to elevate us from this mundane world. Still being in the corporate world, I dwell upon the day-to-day affairs and get stuck. Like a child who always seeks his mother’s lap for support when it gets complex, I always seek Mother Sai’s lap whenever I get into hectic work life.

I work for an MNC in a responsible position that always keeps me under pressure. I joined this company 10 years ago after completing my MBA at the Divine Lotus Feet. Not knowing the fact that it is Swami’s Grace, colleagues think professional growth is a function of luck. Corporate world work can be strenuous. However, any difficult scenarios, I lean back, look at the picture of Swami’s smiling face on my table and talk to him like a 5-year child would resting on his mother’s lap and complain about the playmate or about the boy who bulldozed during the play, knowing that she will console and talk supportively.

In reality the mother makes the child understand the reality and explains his real goal. In the same way, when I talk to Mother Sai, Swami responds in a similar way. I have experienced this and have realized the response for all so-called problems. It might be a mail communication from the party in the office talking about the solution or a sudden thought that emerges out of mind or a daily message from the Radio Sai team. Believe it or not I get the exact solution for the problem that appeared to be a complex phenomenon.

At this juncture, I recollect Swami’s words, “As you think, so I appear. I know, you all think that I stay here only. But remember, I hear everything, I listen to your prayers, I see from here, I see all over, everywhere and this is my divine assurance.”

Though I have shared experiences at a mundane level, about challenges in daily life – for me Bhagawan means the world, without His guidance it would be difficult to face the challenges that life throws at you daily.
