completely incidental. With this aitude, Swami would take responsibility for the outcome and bring us closer to him. When we don’t have this aitude, we go through the fire until all else is burned away.
When I became absorbed in the film, however, I became aached to the outcome. I could see that there was a big difference in my intellectual knowledge about detachment and my actual aainment of it. The project was a great lesson in detachment and when all was done I could see that Swami has us play roles, not because he wants anything worldly, but simply in order for us to learn about his love.
Dr. Venkataraman is a world-class physicist, past vice chancellor of Swami’s university, and now director of Radio Sai Global Harmony. I once asked him about the reason Swami has us take on any position of service in his organization. “Is it because he needs us to carry out some duty for the development of his programs?” I asked. “Or is it purely because, by his grace, he brings us closer to teach us love through service?” Dr. Venkataraman smiled and said that anyone could fill any position if Swami willed as such, and that by his grace and divine love he allows us to come closer to him to help us on our spiritual path. The position he gives us is just a device through which he imparts his teaching of selfless love.
