However intimate people are, they might be willing to share our pleasure
and wealth but would not like to bear our burdens. Baba assured, He
would become everything of theirs and bear their burdens, saying "You
keep all your unbearable burdens on Me and be cool. I shall bear them
all". Here, 'burden' means 'weight' which means 'above our capacity to
bear'.
Baba spoke with motherly love
'cast your entire burden on Me'. Sri Sai assures us that He would bear
the burden of those devotees who have unshakable faith and all-enduring
patience, who have chosen the path of devotion seeking freedom from
attachment to the fruits of one's effort. But, people who indulged in
earthly pleasures and attracted by assets and bonds, going into prayer
room only when they get into trouble, will not get rid of problems. All
of a sudden reaching Shirdi, standing before Samadhi Mandir and
demanding "you promised to bear my burden, hence, instantly remove it",
will not do! How will it? Whatever life that we get by the deeds of our
previous lives, we should be faithful and earnestly pray to Baba, "Lead
us to Your presence, Father!" To Baba, the Almighty One, who bears the
gigantic burden of this Vast Universe and guides its varied operations,
it is but child's play to Him to bear our burdens. Knowing it, we remain
cool by casting our burden on Baba.
