As long as we are still breathing, never lose hope. We may face financial hardship, health issues, and loneliness. We must stay confident and trust God. He creates us to develop our inner consciousness to blossom like flowers. But many of us lose confidence and, per se, lose strength. That is why Sathya Sai Baba says, “When the sun rises and shines, not all the lotus buds in the lakes and ponds bloom. Only those that are ready do. The rest have to bide their time, but all are destined to bloom. All have to fulfill that destiny. There is no need to despair.”
