Jai Sriman Narayana! Asmath Gurubhyo Namha! Dear Sangeetha: We often get significantly frustrated to the point that we start loosing faith in the lOrd. It is my experience that Lord Sri Venkateswara (Sriman Narayana) is everywhere and ever ready to help us. Then, why do we get frustrated? If we are completely dependent on Him and none else (including ourselves), He defenitely helps us; He helps us in the last moment. Only thing is that we have to have complete vishvasam (faith) in Him. Remember that He has to take care of billions of living beings like you and me who have also done sharanagathi and are completely dependent on Him. I have been experiencing this throughout my life. After surrendering to Him, it is His job to get us through the samsara. There are a lot of hurdles for us in life due to out infinite papam performed in this and previous lives. He often takes us through shortcuts. The paved road (which looks obviously good for us)may be 20 miles, while He may take us through a short cut which is only 20 yards but the road is all muddy. First thing is that we should have the feeling of helplessness. "Ye gathi leni nA gathi neevE" You are the only way for me as I have no other way. Why things don't work and why we get frustrated? We tend to act independently and want to make independent decisions. We should let Him plan and act as to how He is going to help us. Without His support, we can not exist even for a split second. Therefore, in conclusion, Lord Sriman Narayana is listning to our prayers. Either our limited mind is not able to operceive His help, or we are rather impatient, or we do not have firm faith in Him. With best wishes to you and all glories to Lord Sri venkateswara, I remain, Sincerely Narender Reddy > Sanngeeta<sangs5@xxxx> wrote: > Hello Everybody, > Greetings. I am Sangeetha, Vadagalai Iyengar.
