கடவுளிடம் வரம் வேண்டனுமா? Should you pray 🙏 for boons?

வாரம் தோறும் தினமலர் வெள்ளியன்று ஆன்மீக மலர் இணைப்பாக வழங்குவது சிறப்பு.

நான் முக்கியமாக மூன்று விஷயங்களைப் படித்து விடுவேன்.

The three comprises:

Sri Swaminathan 's naration of an instance from Maha Swami's Life,

Second the answers of Swaminatha Sivachariar on the back of the front cover 

And 3rd,

பச்சைப் புடவைக்காரி by Varalotti Rangaswamy.

In today's edition, what struck me was his penultimate para before he wound up the Topic for this toda's edition, the excerpt is here:

The Goddess in human Avatar asks him what he wants.

His reply,

"இனிமேல் உங்களிடம் எதையும் கேட்காத மனம் வேண்டும். தாயே துன்பம், வலி, நோய், வேதனை, மரணம் என நீங்கள் எதைக் கொடுத்தாலும் அதை உங்கள் பிரசாதமாக ஏற்கும் பக்குவம் வேண்டும் தாயே.'

True.

Does God not know what a bhaktha needs and what the God should grant?

This took me a few days back. I messaged to a Sister, "climbing up to have Balaji's Darshan. And I will pray 🙏 for All."

Her immediate reply back was, 

"In front of Balaji, you will, completely full of having the dharshan.,may not remember your wish of Praying."

How true she was!

Yet knowing well it's All God's wish, will, we do express our prayer 🙏 to the Almighty completely ignorant that God knows what He would grant.

Being human, the other day, though not before and in the Sanctum of Balaji, I was there inside the precincts of the temple well over an hour and half for Kalyan Utsav, which my daughter booked. Half an hour before Utsav started, I started meditating. And in the fag end even while in dhyan, I prayed for the good of as many as I could recollect.The list includes immediate family, friends, relatives and finally for the loka kshema.

In the same Topic, elsewhere the Author, Sri Varalotti Rangaswamy writes, "...கேட்டதைக் கொடுக்காமல் வேண்டியதைக் கொடுத்துக் காப்பாற்றும் உங்கள் தாயன்பைப் புரிந்து கொண்டேன்."

Yes,

We may have endless desire.

But Uperwala knows what's best for us.
