Persevering faith

Persevering faith

 

A Prarthana Samajist went to Baba. However before seeing Baba, he had a discussion with somebody else as to whether Baba had the characteristics of a Stitha Prajna as defined in Gita. This unsettled his mind and he wavered in his faith and went to Baba.

 

Baba: Shyama, take him and tell him something.

 

Then, Shyama took his wada and gave his advice.

1) "Despise irresponsible and uninformed people's talk,

2) Place your mind at Baba's feet,

3) All will be safe".

 

Then they returned to Baba.

 

Baba: Follow Shyama's advice.
