Una persona vino a mí hace unos veinte años y rezó para que él tuviera éxito en su examen y obtener una primera clase alta. Le dije que tendrá que hacer un esfuerzo y el resultado será de acuerdo a la voluntad de Dios. Yo le di mi bendición y le despedi. El consiguió una primera clase y regreso a mí una vez más después de pasar su examen y me pidió mis bendiciones para que él pudiera conseguir un trabajo.
Él consiguió un trabajo en un mes. De nuevo vino a mí después de unos meses. Él dijo que él consiguió un trabajo, que él era feliz, y también dijo que quería casarse con una chica mecanógrafa de su propia oficina. Le dije que si es agradable a su padre ya su madre, él puede hacerlo, pero que no les va a gustar. Él no estaba dispuesto a escucharme. Dijo que incluso si eso significaba transgredir los deseos de sus padres, estaba decidido a casarse con esa chica. Él, de hecho, dijo que incluso daría su vida si este matrimonio no era posible. Le dije que tenía que convencer a sus padres antes de entrar en esta alianza. Él trajo un montón de presión sobre sus padres y que, al no encontrar otra alternativa, aceptaron el matrimonio.
El matrimonio había terminado y después de un año, ellos dos vinieron a mí otra vez y dijeron que querían un hijo. Después del nacimiento de un hijo sus gastos se multiplicaron, su esposa renunció a su puesto de trabajo, y él vino a mí deseando una promoción. Por su buena suerte, obtuvo una promoción. A pesar de que era un poco tonto en lo que respecta a los asuntos mundanos, el tenía una gran fe en lo que respecta a los asuntos relacionados con Swami. Le di mis bendiciones y consiguió un ascenso.
Él no regreso desde entonces durante más de cinco años. Él estaba muy contento y en los próximos cinco años tuvieron cuatro hijos. Él vino a mí después de cinco años y dijo que estaba harto de la familia, dijo que él no puede soportar la carga de la familia y que estaba buscando para el alivio de todo ello. Él dijo que quería un pequeño trabajo en el propio ashram y dijo que su familia tiene ahora un control sobre él como una gran serpiente.

Below is a wonderful story told by Swami, on one's unending desires...
One person came to Me about twenty years ago and prayed that he should meet with success in his examination and secure a high first class. I told him that there will have to be effort and the result will be according to God's will. I gave him My blessings and sent him away. He did secure a high first class and came to Me again after passing his examination and asked for My blessings so that he might get a job.

He did secure a high first class and came to Me again after passing his examination and asked for My blessings so that he might get a job.
He did get a job within a month. He again came to Me after a few months. He said he got a job, that he was happy, and he also said he wanted to marry a typist girl in his own office. I told him that if it is agreeable to his father and mother, he may do so but they may not like it. He was not inclined to listen to Me. He said that even if it meant transgressing the wishes of his parents, he was determined to marry that girl. He, in fact, suggested that he would even give up his life if this marriage was not possible. I told him that he must convince his parents before entering into such an alliance. He brought a lot of pressure on his parents and they, finding no other alternative, agreed to the marriage.
The marriage was over and after a year, both of them came to me again and said they wanted a son. After the birth of a son his expenses multiplied, his wife gave up her job, and he came to Me desiring a promotion. By his good luck, he got a promotion. Although he was somewhat foolish in regard to worldly matters, he had great faith in regard to matters relating to Swami. I gave him My blessings and he got a promotion.
He did not turn up thereafter for over five years. He was quite happy and in the next five years, they had four children. He came again to Me after five years and said that he was fed up with the family, said that he cannot bear the burden of the family and that he was looking for relief from all the mess. He said that he wanted a small job in the ashram itself and said that his family has now got a hold over him like a big serpent.
I asked him if the serpent caught him on its own or whether he let the serpent come to him and catch him.
