Gurudev makes impossible wishes possible

A spiritual discourse addressing the fulfillment of wishes and the nature of faith.

"Whatever happens, you must not 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. That is the greatness of Gurudev."

The speaker, likely a spiritual teacher, explains why devotees' prayers may seem unanswered. He teaches that selfish wishes are not granted for one's ultimate benefit, similar to a parent denying ice cream to a sick child. The key is maintaining unwavering faith and purifying one's karma over time, rather than losing confidence when desires are not immediately met.

Every sense, and Gurujī also says, what is impossible, Gurudev can make possible. And what is happening, Gurudev can change; Gurudev is Parabrahma. But now, there are many people who ask, "Why didn't my wish come true?" I believe, I agree with you, that your wish did not come true. And I do not think that your wish will come true if you lead life like this. In your mind, in your intellect, in your heart, in your chidākāśa, there is more conflict, more doubt. You think that you will begin the prayer with great love today and tomorrow have all wishes fulfilled. And when your wish is fulfilled, you forget the Gurudev. So it is not like that; you have to purify your karma, your destiny, over years and years, even many, many lives. Whatever happens, you must not lose your confidence or your faith, and then your every wish comes true. If your wishes are selfish, it will take time. It is 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 parents do not give it because the child is ill and this cold ice cream will not do good to the child. The child does not understand why the parents do not give it. Similarly, our selfish wish does not matter in which direction. It does not matter which direction it goes; the selfish always has a negative result, meaning disappointment. And that is not everything you should wish for; therefore, God ignores our selfish wishes, and that is the greatness of God. That is the greatness of Gurudev. But what we do is 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 do not blame God, asking, "Why do such things happen to me?" Recording location: Czech Republic, Strilky, Summer seminar
