Search for Nothing
All we need to do is to hold on to God. Nothing else, nothing less.
I am giving myself as a case study to explain that there is no necessity for us to go in search of anything. If we are destined, they will come seeking us. When I was a businessman in AnnaNagar, I owned a 2 ground land with a 6000 sq.ft bungalow in it. During my quest for God, loss in my business and I had to sell my bungalow to pay off the debts incurred then.
There were people who had been acquainted with me as Siva Shankar the business magnate, with a sprawling bungalow that he rented for movie shootings and a fleet of buses and lorries that he owned for his business. They used to comment, ‘One must have devotion. But this is just too much. See, Siva Shankar has lost all his wealth and now has to travel by bus’. I would not respond. What I gave up was 2 ground, 6000 sq ft. But see, God has put me in charge of the 65 acre ground called Sree Ramarajya. When it is due, it will come to you. There is no need for you to search. Nothing to seek. If we are destined, it will come to us of its own accord. All we need to do is to hold on to God. Nothing else, nothing less.
