Great Restart

“*Doubts and difficulties surround us just to move us and confirm our
faith. We are tested as it were*.” – Sri Sai Sacharitra, Ch. XXIX.

Thomas Edison lost two million dollars’ worth of equipment and the record
of many years’ work, when his laboratories were gutted by fire, in 1914.
Edison’s son, Charles, found his father standing near the fire, his white
hair blown with the winter wind. His heart ached for his aged father.
Edison saw Charles, “Where’s your mother?” he shouted. Bring her here, she
will never see anything like this again as long as she lives.”
The next morning, walking among the ashes of his hopes and dreams, the
67-year-old Edison said, “There is great value in disaster. All our
mistakes are burnt up. Thank God we can start anew!”
There spoke a man with the friendly attitude towards life and its
happenings.


What a great way to think like Edison. As long as we have our focus set right, the hurdles should never hinder us.
Like my master says Shraddha(Faith) and Saburi (Perseverence) is needed.


Bow to Sai and peace be to all.
