Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja :01-09-2007
I would like to elucidate the difference between an ordinary person and a saint or ’mahaan’. What are their respective, typical qualities? There are no specific differences. Great people appear to be just like ordinary people. It is their attitudes that differ. A great spiritual person views every person he comes across with the same compassion. He does not evaluate people as ordinary people do. There is no limit to his love, and there is no particular recipient. It is indeed praiseworthy that he puts everyone – rich or poor, big or small on the same pedestal. There are no outward indications to identify a great person. He has neither claws nor horns to mark him out! He has however complete faith in God and an overpowering love for Him. As an individual he performs no miracles. Sometimes God makes him an instrument for His miracles. Only this quality makes a great spiritual person different from others.
The truth is God is present in every one of us. The person who realizes this completely sees that his actions are to the satisfaction of God and thus makes God happy. His life’s work is within the limits of all that makes God happy and all that God desires of us.
