Yosemite National Park Hiking Glacier point to Sentinel Dome May26,2021

 Gratitude to the lord for making this special journey to hike the Yosemite National Park. 

This is my very first hiking experience!!!

 MyRA had flared up to the extreme that I couldn’t even stand for a few seconds, or pick up a paper towel. I was taking over the counter medication and would be in tears how was I going to function every day taking care of my mother who needed 24/7 help.

March 10-14 when chandru & ChrisAnn came to visit Amma in Houston, they couldn’t believe my condition and gave some of her medication hoping it would help me feel better, and indeed I was able to move forward after taking more than prescribed medication to bring it to a controlled situation.

Kamesh came on March 14 and he had overheard the conversation with a friend and intervened and contacted his friend’s spouse who was a Rheumatologist. Things started to spiral up and can see the hands of the lord taking over. His friend didn’t have any appointments available and found another Rheumatologist near our house in Sugarland, Texas. The Doctor was from Pakistan and a orthodox woman her mere touch with proper prescription medication started to help.

This hiking trip was all due to the lord sending his messengers to help at the correct time. I hadn’t walked even a few steps in the past year and yesterday hiked the mountain peak of 8,500. It’s He who was walking with me, holding me and guiding me and occasionally with loving words to keep the pace to reach the destination.

A few years ago when a group of friends were going to Manasrovar I wanted to go in my dreams I heard the clear message “ No need to climb any mountains, See me in all of creation and you’re in Manasrovar “.

I am truly working on seeing him in all of his creations and can see the divine presence in everything.

It’s  a truly a humbling experience yesterday connecting with his abundant blessings.

Thank you very much for all the hikers who came in his form to motivate and reach the goal.

Treat all people with Respect

 Om Sri Sai Ram

I had the pleasure of working various jobs and meeting people from all walks of life people who were wealthy, average middle class people, lower income group and extremely poor people and finally homeless people.

When I was attending school in New Delhi I had class mates who were well to do and a few who were extremely poor. For some reason I would always be around only the poor and share my lunch with them as others looked down on them. One day my father saw me and said “ why are always hanging out with them and looking down. I said if I keep looking down chances are I would not fall in the ground in front of me but if I keep looking up for sure I will fall in the hole.

In the year 1985-98had a grocery store/ Delicatessen in Time square, Newyork 42nd street and 9th Avenue. It was open 24 hours and met people from all over the world. We ran 2 shifts of 12 hours and open 7 days a week and 365 days a year. The store was adjacent to Port Authority Bus terminal all interstate buses would come and the police station as well as the post office was all located nearby.

I had a partner from Pakistan as I used to drive the bus for a inter state company and on my time off would work in the store afternoon shift from 1pm to 12midnight. In the evening or late night homeless people would come especially in the winter time to get warm from the outside weather and get some hot beverages. My partner didn’t have any empathy for the poor people and was harsh with his words and they would always wait for me to start my shift. There was one person who I would call as Mr. Cuba as he was from that country and exiled due to the political crisis to the United States. He would pay for the coffee in loose change and knew he must have gathered by picking it up on the street. As days went I had a good relationship with him and asked him to sit in the store a space which wasn’t occupied so he can enjoy the coffee. I would ask him if he wanted something to eat? He replied I have no money. No problem I will pay for you and give you any amount of food  anytime Not to affect the business or anyone saying I am giving away food as I have to set a good example to the employees and partner.

In the evening after the day is over the Newspaper have to be returned and accountable for and would cut the top heading and throw the rest in recycle. Mr. Cuba Sir,

Can I see the Newspaper? Sure ! And I handed him the paper and my partner came in and said? What you homeless guy now you are going to read the New York Times, drink coffee and sit down and eat your dinner here. Tomorrow he will give you a place to sleep. I said please don’t disrespect anyone not knowing their circumstance. One day I asked Mr. Cuba where do you sleep every night? He said in the movie theater nearby. Where do you get the money? I find lottery tickets that people overlook and redeem and go and sleep in the theater to avoid the harsh weather. Where do you take a shower or do your morning chores? In the bus station. 

What a difficult life? What makes people go and live life in these tough environments? I had a few other homeless people who were extremely educated and went crazy and left everything to live the life of street person. 

One evening I gave him a full size sandwich with all the items he requested and said he could not stay back and talk. As he was passing by another a African American homeless man was watching him eat. He said I was scared and didn’t know what he was going to do and the man came closer and closer and said can I have your sandwich I have not had any food in a while. Mr. Cuba took half his sandwich and gave out and said looks like you’re more hungry than me please take it.

Mr. Cuba said “ Sir you’re a very loving and caring person May the lord always bless you “. Is the last words I heard from him. I didn’t see him for many months and enquired about him from other homeless people and police no body had any news regarding my friend Mr. Cuba. His entire belongings was in 2 brown bags that he carried with him.

One day a homeless and a blind person was standing in line and my partner said you don’t know where you standing? He said “ Sir I might be blind at least I know where I am going but you have two eyes and don’t know where you are going “? 

Please respect people who are less fortunate than you are in a single movement life can turn around and you might be in the same situation. Do Good, See Good that’s the way to God.

Love All Serve All. Help Ever Hurt Never!!!

HOUSE SOLD AS PROMISED

Om sri sai ram i used to attend east brunswick sai center every Thursday for sai bhajans from 8pm to 9:15. There was a young lady who was studying at Newark campus and come for the bhaians and after finishing grab a bite with some friends and drive back to her dorm. one day my wife asked her why dont you stay back with us and go in the morning. We also have a daughter a few years younger than you and we have plenty of space and don't have to looking for restaurants late night for a vegeterian food. 

 As time went she became part of the family. When she completed her studies got a job in california. She met her life partner a few years later in the sai center in sanjose. He also is a excellent singer.After a few years of courtship they got married in India. Due to the business entanglement was unable to attend the wedding. 

 We have visited the couple many times and stayed in there one bedroom startup as well as the palacious 3 level townhome. After a few years their son was born and have visited again. When the desires rise so does the money required to keep up in west coast where the cost of living is much higher both the couple had to work to make ends meet and pay outrageous amount for day care, and after hour care. 

 Her husband called one early morning out of the blue and said " Sairam". I asked? is everything ok calling so early? .He said i have moved to NC with my son a few months back and my wife is still in California working as her contract ends in January. We are maintaining 2 households and making mortgage payment in California. 

The next day his wife called Koushik the house has been listed and we need to sell quickly as we are losing money in this transaction. I SAID THE HOUSE WILL SELL ONLY IN MIDDLE OF DECEMBER. It was October when she called and said we are going on a family cruise in November Thanks giving. I said go and have a good time. she returned and absolutely no activity on the real estate from the company. Again, she called Koushik the house has'nt sold. I said do you remember my words? Don't worry it will sell as i stated and on time. She said Dec 15,2018 is the final open house and if it does'nt sell we have to take it out of listing. I Don't go back on my words. As i was in Houston, Texas was going to Austin, Texas to visit a friend and he also had purchased a house and wanted me to see his new house before going back to New Jersey. The whole family proudly showed their new house and as i was exiting the words which came about are..... Jay PLEASE PAY THE FULL ASKING PRICE AS THEY NEED TO LIVE WELL AND YOU NEED TO LiVE WELL.

 In a few minutes realized why i am saying this to Jay he has already purchased the house. The inner voice prompted it is meant for the couple in california. i had mentioned this to the couple and in no way did anything to manipulate the outcome.

 On December 15,2018 said today is the last open house and if it does'nt sell? I once again said " You don't have faith in my words? Have i ever let you down? Trust yourself first!! On December 16, I texted her in the morning." Good morning V

by now you would have gotten a full price offer". she said i was waiting for it to be final before telling you but you already know everything and more over in the contract the buyers wrote" WE ARE PAYING FULL ASKING PRICE AS WE WANT TO LIVE WELL AND SO SHOULD YOU. 

 Signed, Sealed and Delivered. I Keep my promise what ever words which comes out with absolute no thought. House sold on Dec 15,2018 and family reunited in January 2019. The credit goes to the in dweller Sai He talks,writes and listens through this mortal coil. Extremely blessed to have the assurance of my beloved lord why are you searching ? when i am inside you.!!! OM SRI SAI RAM!!!
