Thyaagaraaja
used to address Raama in all his Keerthanas in the singular. In
the famous Keerthana "Raara maa intidhaaka", he invites
Raama in familiar terms to come to his house (after he had
recovered the image of Raama from the Cauvery river). The
familiarity is an expression of his devotion to Raama.
You must look
upon God as an "Old friend." There is no greater friend in the
world than God. God only looks at the purity of your loving
devotion. Treat the universe as your text-book and your heart as
your teacher. There will be no need to seek God elsewhere. All
that devotees need to do is to use all their limbs and organs of
perception to experience the Divine. Tulsidas used to lament that
as long as he did not use his limbs to experience God he was a
useless cripple.
No devotee should
allow his faith in God to weaken under any circumstances. You will
achieve victory by facing any adverse circumstance with faith in
God.
Embodiments
of Love! Foster intense faith in God. All other beliefs are of
no avail.

Sathya Sai Baba
