One
is elated by one event, while another is depressed by the same event.
In fact, the same event makes a person feel happier on one occasion
and unhappy on other occasion. But, some people take pain or pleasure
in equal terms and look enviably contented. The truth is the essence
of Isha Upanishad and in order to teach the truth, Baba sent Dasganu
to Dikshit's house where the maid-servant would enlighten it.
A maid-servant was enjoying doing domestic chores, singing and playing while she was draped in a tattered saree. She was equally happy when she got dressed up in a new saree. Next day she kept the new saree in the trunk, wore the old saree and attended to her work singing joyously. Dasganu learnt the lesson that a man ought to enjoy whatever God bestowed on him. Is it not folly to accept one thing and reject the other when God is present in everything and everywhere? Contentment with one's own lot with the conviction that whatever happens is ordained by the Will of God and it is ultimately for our own good, makes us happy. Whenever we feel disappointed or discontented, let us recall the Presence of Baba present in everyone, in everything and everywhere and feel satisfied and contented by fixing our mind and soul on the Sai-blessed Smiles that would lit up our gloomy faces.
