Never Forsaken

How did Siva Shankar Baba achieve detachment? What made him understand that the world is illusory? My worldly life had a very humble beginning. I was born into a village school teacher’s family. My school and college studies were funded by the scholarships I got, as I studied well, keeping my family circumstances in mind. When I came to Chennai during 1968 for employment, I had around Rs.10/-. I toiled to achieve success in business and material prosperity.

During 1986, my spiritual quest left me with no time for anything else. When I resumed my routine worldly responsibilities, I found I had lost all my material wealth. But in the bargain, I found God, and only that mattered to me. Friends, relatives, business partners, everyone ridiculed me for being an impractical person who had lost everything he had.

But I was aware that I had gained an Eternal Friend in God and that He would never forsake me.

Face your life with the right spirit and gain a proper perspective of all the experiences life presents you. This grants you success. I am a glorious example for this
