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."
