Last year, I worked as Executive Assistant with Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas Edem Soro is a famous business entrepreneur, having a business worth Rs. 1500 crores. Mr. Thomas is taking care of Marketing Division in the company and most of the time he is on tour in the country or abroad. As per his personality I found him a committed & work dedicated person. He respects his dad a lot and obeyed his instructions right away.
His dad is the chairman in the company and a great disciple of Saithya Sai.
I had given many cheques to Saithya Sai Trust signed by Mr. Thomas which let me judge him as religious, spiritual, father follower.
Once I was inside my boss cabin I heard Mr. Thomas & his dad, Mr. Thomas Dad insisted him for his personal visit to Saithya Sai at that time Saithya Sai was in his Shimla Ashram(religious place where Guru lives and give preachings).
Mr. Thomas is so good in obeying his dad he had decided to meet Sai personally though he had an urgent meeting in Shimla.
He was on his own private helicopter on tour to Shimla to meet his very prestigious customer for a big business deal so in between he decided to meet Sai Guru too.
the helicopter landed at 11.30 near open area outside Ashram.
His meeting was on 12.00 pm Mr. Thomas entered the Ashram met Saithya Sai. Saithya Sai welcomed him and blessed him but Mr. Thomas was in so much hurry to finish before start as he has to rush for meeting…………. He came here only for his dad sake nothing else.
Saithy Sai –“ Good Morning Mr. Thomas “ May I right you Mr. Eden Son I am feeling so great to see you here you got time to meet me from your busy schedule is a big thing happen today”
Mr. Thomas – Sai ji Namaste please finish it fast………. I have a meeting at 12.00pm so I want you to brief your preaching as you know my dad is your devotee. So, I am a busy man I have to take care of huge business of ours so it’s not easy for me to give you more than half an hour. Rest assured I will meet you when I will have more time than I have today.
Moral : Today we have no time to listen to preaching of Guru. But we have enough money to donate them as charity, but we have no time to standstill and listen to any Guru which we are following on our parents instructions, or as fashion icon, or as being spiritual. We like following all this sometime because our parents told us to follow them or we have to follow as a trend btu in reality we have no time to relax for a while, do meditation & Care for ourself. We are running after materialistic possession with a dictum of more, more and more
I may doubt we have no idea where we are going to nowhere.............. we already have lots of things with us for happy living and we need to thank God for them.
Nature has enough for Man’s Need but not for Man’s Greed.
