A True Story

When in teens I felt miserable All around I saw suffering and strife Why are only some people suffering? Why so much disparity in life? A friend of mine told me read Bhagvad Gita I read it fully and all answers I found People suffer for previously done sins They misuse free will and miseries abound To avoid sinning, we must surrender unto Him One day I told God my body and mind I hand over to you, now they are not mine I want salvation, bliss of the highest kind After that, I started ending my ego, doer ship I went on telling, This body isn't mine Since it belongs to God, I cannot worry All tasks done by body is controlled by divine I wanted to see God, be one with him Cried miserably whole day did you accept me Then one day after many months I saw God He stood in front, I knelt down, he blessed me Since that day I hear the voice of God within He controls me, I do whatever he says from within 29.06.2021 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bhagvad Gita 18.66: Abandon all varieties of dharmas and simply surrender unto me alone. I shall liberate you from all sinful reactions; do not fear Submitted to Surprise me, charles messina

Each soul has its Dharma to follow but Dharma is influenced by our karma therefore our trip may delay till all our karma is paid therefore by surrendering ourselves to the divine we may exhilarate our payment of karma but we cannot avoid the payment because this would be unjust to the soul. A difficult task for one to deal with divine things. We need more knowledge a firmer faith and absolute devotion. A remarkable writing dearest , Rama. Blessings.

I fully agree with you. My suffering have not ended. But I feel with my limited knowledge that I am no longer accumulating sins. So one day hopefully I might get salvation. Thanks for your enlightening comments. It seems you have read ancient Sanskrit scriptures too. Your knowledge amazes me. Glad to know someone like you.

Beautiful Rama. It is so wonderful that you have found the peace that passes all understanding. That peace only comes through Jesus and from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. God Bless, JB
