A Letter of Encouragement to a Devotee
From:
Sri Sathya Sai
Dear Devotee!
Baba is writing to you. See, he is blessing you. Dear child, what madness is this? What a letter you have written, and left at home. It is foolish to be hasty. Think over your affairs calmly. Slow deliberation always reveals the truth and the beneficial. Think of the crores of people in the world who are in conditions far worse than yours. Remember, you have Me to guard and save you. How many of them have this fortune? Consider that. Are you the one and only victim of poverty and indebtedness? The step you are contemplating cannot relieve you of your responsibilities. Listen to Me. Be bold, face the world with courage. Courage will set you free. It can conquer all obstacles. Give up your foolish plan to escape.
Baba.
