I was gardening, or should I say weeding. As I did so I asked that Shri Ganesha would cleanse my chakras and\u00a0take away\u00a0all the obstacles to the success of the Sahaja Yoga programs in Newcastle, Australia, as well as to my own ascent.<\/p>\n
Financial concerns popped up for a moment, as my mind went to the cost of new photos, CDs, DVDs and\u00a0hire of a hall, as it was about the same time as the new Sahaja Yoga programs were beginning in Newcastle. I knew\u00a0my car\u00a0needed new brake pads, and so my busy mind attempted to tell me I needed at least $1000 to register the car. I stopped\u00a0my thoughts\u00a0and told myself that I have all the faith in\u00a0Shri Mataji\u00a0and if\u00a0my faith\u00a0was complete, then I shouldn\u2019t need to replace anything. The pads should fix themselves. Why not?\u00a0If Shri Mataji says so, then it is possible. The thoughts drifted away and I went back to weeding.<\/p>\n
The reason I knew I had to replace the brake pads is that I\u00a0had been\u00a0told last year at vehicle registration time that the brakes\u00a0had only just passed the test. An NRMA safety check had also told me that I needed new rear brake pads.<\/p>\n
On the morning that the film about Shri Mataji was to be shown in Charlestown, a suburb of Newcastle, I took my car to Goodyear Tyres to get the brake pads fixed. I was told the job would take two hours. So I came armed with my laptop, and started to do some work sitting in the sun.\u00a0About twenty minutes after they had taken my car for repair, I was stunned to see it was back in the car park already.<\/p>\n
I walked back inside and the receptionist told me that she would be with me in a minute. I was a little confused. I hadn\u2019t wanted to hang around there for two hours but I did want the work done. I was then told by the owner that my brakes were fine and didn\u2019t need anything done to them. She had even had two more mechanics check them and they all agreed that there was no problem with the brakes.<\/p>\n
My face lit up with a ridiculous grin as I said, “Never mind that they are\u00a0OK when they shouldn\u2019t be. You are honest enough to tell me!\u201d<\/p>\n
The message is simple: JUST HAVE FAITH! Forget what our logic and reasoning say and have faith that things will work out.\u00a0Please believe in\u00a0Shri Mataji\u00a0and that we truly do operate in a Divine world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
