Gurudev makes impossible wishes possible

The fulfillment of wishes depends upon the devotee's inner state and the grace of the Guru. The Guru's power can make anything possible. Yet, wishes often remain unfulfilled due to inner conflict, doubt, and a lack of sustained faith. When a wish is granted, the devotee may forget the source of grace. Purification of karma across many lifetimes is required, maintaining unwavering confidence. Selfish wishes are not granted, as divine wisdom knows they are harmful, much like a parent denying ice cream to a sick child. Such wishes lead to negative results and disappointment. Losing faith and acting independently is a choice, but one must not then blame the divine for subsequent outcomes.

"Whatever happens, you don’t lose your confidence or your faith. And then your every wish comes true."

"God ignores our selfish wishes. And that is the greatness of God."

Every sense, and Gurujī also says, what is impossible, Gurudev can make possible. And what’s happening? Gurudev can change. Gurudev is Parabrahma. But now, there are many people who say, "Why didn’t my wish come true?" I believe, I agree with you, that your wish didn’t come true. And I don’t think that your wish will come true if you lead life like this. In your mind, in your intellect, in your heart, in your cidākāśa, there is more conflict, more doubts. You think that you will begin the prayer with great love today, and tomorrow, with all wishes fulfilled. And when your wish is fulfilled, you forget the guru-deva. So it is not like that. You have to purify your karma, your destiny. Years and years, even many, many lives. Whatever happens, you don’t lose your confidence or your faith. And then your every wish comes true. If your wishes are selfish, it will take time. It’s not that your wish is selfish, but God knows that this selfish wish is also not good for you. The child has a selfish wish to eat ice cream, but the parents don’t give it because the child is ill, and this cold ice cream will not do good for the child. The child doesn’t understand why the parents don’t give. Similarly, our selfish wish doesn’t matter in which direction. The selfish always have negative results, which means disappointment. And that is not everything that you should wish. Therefore, God ignores our selfish wishes. And that is the greatness of God. That’s the greatness of Gurudev. But what we do, we lose our confidence, and we say, if God doesn’t help me, I will do it myself. Of course, no one tells you not to do, but then don’t blame God, "Why does it happen to me, such things?"
