Expanding Universal Sai

You know, yesterday my mind was focusing only on my personal connection with Swami. I was trying to understand what part I was playing in His Mission to save humanity. I knew that His axions, 'help ever, hurt never' and 'love all, serve all', had been guiding me here in St. Petersburg as I was trying to make my way in a new life. Also I knew, I know that He has transformed this Susan Caffery into a much better person.

He is the smallest of the small and the biggest of the big. If we had the awareness I'm sure we could see that He is transforming even the little atoms and elements as part of the universal Atma. All the atoms of the Atma. I like that. Yes, He is all, He is everything and He is transforming everything at this very moment, this second. He is expanding just as the universe is expanding.

Here I sit in this tiny apartment with His teachings in my heart, trying in my small way to further His mission by helping the disabled and homeless people I meet...expanding, pushing boundaries slowly. I'm like a little atom in His universe, loving all and spreading His light, His teachings, just as MILLIONS of His devotees all over this world, are sitting in their tiny places loving everything around them. His devotees in Bosnia, in South Africa where He has five schools, in Thailand where He has His University, in Manila and in Canada and in Malaysia. These are central points of His teachings and light. There are thousands of small lights, thousands of His devotees expanding into the world from each point, all the time, loving Him, loving all. Just as the universe is expanding every second, His love, the people practicing His teachings, is also expanding every second of the day and night. Maybe His departure has seemed like an obstacle to His Mission but that simply cannot be true for He is the Kali Yuga Avatar and His will prevails. OUR LIGHT AND LOVE FOR SWAMI WILL INCREACE AND PREVAIL OVER THE ASSUMED DARKNESS OF THE WORLD.

I say 'assumed' because we don't want to get carried away with this duality, however, as we know that God is everything. Swami is the light and He is the darkness. He created both so that we could see the tapestry of life. If there was no darkness we would not grow and work for the transformation of ourselves or for anything else for that matter. He is the light and the darkness, the good and the bad, Democrat and Republican and He created both to give us the opportunity to pick our way slowly between the two extremes with care, always mindful of His simple, great teachings.

Anyway, I didn't want anyone to think I believed His mission stopped here in my own small place. I wanted everyone to be aware, always aware that His Mission is everywhere in this world, growing and expanding with light and love into all the dark places. The example which springs to mind is His Mission in Africa. Frankly because there are so many people of Indian origin in Africa, His work there is extraordinary. I'd like to write more about this but I don't even know the names of the countries there. But, of course He knows each and every tiny light expanding in each heart.
