Desire Leads To Fear | Desirelessness is Fearlessness | Sathya Sai Baba Story

The way in which my first ever overseas trip materialised was a very important lesson for me - that desires are the root cause for fear. If we are desire-less we are fearless.
It was sometime in March 2009 that I was invited to travel to Singapore, all-expense-paid, to deliver talks and satsanghs. Having never left Indian shores till then, the offer was tempting. My desire got the better of me and I tried every means possible to ensure that Swami blesses me to travel! Well, I got my heart's desire but it came about in a manner that taught me the most important lesson for life - be free of desire, be free of fear.
This is the message of Swami’s Abhayahasta (literally translates into ‘the hand the confers fearlessness’) blessings as well. That is the blessing we must seek when Swami raises His hands to bless us:
“Lord, grant me fearlessness. Grant me desirelessness.”

[@suryrajah7761]

Aum Sai Ram. Such a beautiful account of His ever awakened presence in you brother Arvind. Thank you. Jai Sai Ram!💖🙏

[@eztuner]

Sai Ram Brother, I’m so grateful to Swami for offering you to us! Your truthful way to tell your vivid experiences with our beloved Swamiji, opens our heart and teaches us to keep an eye on our own experiences with him. Much love brother may Swami continue to bless you with his grace, 🙏🏼❤️

[@romiromaish]

In my childhood my father used to teach me " MOHABAT E KHUDA " not " KHOF E KHUDA " Means have love for Him & do good things No need to fear Him & then to do good things We love Swami that is why our heart is filled with love for all & we try our best to do good 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thanks dear Arvind ji for this " Sai Reacharge"

[@saistudent]

Beautiful words. Your father is indeed wise. Sairam 🙏

[@silviagrohmann7324]

Die Hand steht füt Furchtlosigkeit, oh wie schön und angemessen! Mein Vater schenkte mir sie mir als ich noch ein Kind war , jetzt verstehe ich Babas Lektionen dank Deiner Erklärungen auf ganz vielen Ebenen. Auch auf der Vater/ Tochter Beziehung. 🙏 Ich bin durch Ihre Worte und Swamis Darshan zutiefst berührt und auch sehr erfreut ! Ich möchte unseren liebsten Swami aus vollsten Herzen danken, für all den Segen.💗💌🌷Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Hingabe, lieber Bruder in Sai 🙏😄🌺🌿

[@gautamasubramaniam3171]

Fantastic Arvindji You have risen to the level of a Mahatma! Yes i am not exaggerating or just appreciating. It is an absolute fact and truth. Now i am seeing one great Soul in Sai fold blooming as a Mahatma, it is so great! No doubt Sairam has transformed and made you so. God bless you dear. Please bring out more and more such latest encounters by you with Swamiji before His physical departure. Such revelations are need of the hour!. Swamiji has successfully projected a well transfirmed Mahatma to the front to limelight! Thank you Sairam. Om Sri Sairam. So-ham

[@msunnasy1090]

Sai Ram. I really love the way you present your talks. With humour, with honesty and then with the lessons learned. One can relate to the stories . You have a great way to share your experiences; the seemingly small experiences all have very important lessons Thank you 🙏🏾

[@us9807]

Loving Sai Ram dear Brother Arvind. You have made every experience of yours into a blissful satsang. It's possible only for a Swami’s child like you. One who is immersed in Swami’s divine love. Stay blessed always.

[@nayanpatnaik413]

Amazing experience and so well narrated, Aravind brother. When you said that smile part, I could literally feel Swami smiling. Have experienced seeing HIM in dreams when I pray HIM before starting something new or needed his YES. And when HE does that, the feeling is just out of the world.

Though the experience was yours; it makes feel extremely happy to hear that Swami took letter, interacted, gave someone Vibhuthi on that day..coz it's my Birthday! And when you said Vibuthi packets.., no one knows my Vibuthi craze and excitement but Swami! Just the mention of the word Vibhuti ☺ Simply hearing this makes me jump with joy Thank you for sharing brother 🙏 Sai ram!! 💕

[@Gudi.Sailove]

I can soooooo relate in detail to all the emotions and thoughts you are describing here in this video. It’s like you told my story which still needs Swamis final smile and blessings. It was so relieving for me to hear that I am not the only one with such battles in my conscience going on - fear of not doing right (Swamis Will) and instead keeping doing wrong (my worldly desires). Thank you thank you thank you so much for doing these videos - they help me tremendously on my path with Swami. Om Sri Sairam ❤️🙏❤️praying to Swami for and extra ton of blessing for you🧡🙏🧡

Dear Brother, Thank you so much for such a loving speech delivered in such way that you came across as being on the same level as us. And yet, thank you very much for making us feel that Swami's love for you was Swami's love for us. You and your talks on Swami is our greatest Gift of Swami. It is my "desire" (if I may be permitted for this one "desire") to be able to hear your speeches on Swami's teachings throughout the rest of my life. My love to you. Jai Sai Ram
