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

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
