Anapeksha means that the devotee is beyond apeksha, i.e., desires or expectations. Is it ever possible for man, bound as he is by the body and the senses, to be without desires? Hardly. Some
desire or the other will always be there. However, there must be control over the desires that one has. What sort of desires are permitted? Recall what Krishna has to say about this matter. He says that all righteous actions are divine. Thus, among the permissible desires, the best is the desire for tyaga or sacrifice. The yearning for dharma also is important. The desire for God is mandatory. Although what must truly be desired is very clear, people have widely different types of expectations and desires. While some consider being righteous as very important, others think that achieving [worldly] greatness is the best among goals. Some even try to combine these two objectives. Truly speaking, no one has the freedom or the authority to do as one likes. One
must do exactly as the Lord says. The Lord has stated very clearly that He wants you to attain the
state of anapeksha. How does one do that? One does this by strictly confining to righteous activities alone, performing such actions exclusively for the pleasure of the Lord, and by offering
all such actions in their entirety to the Lord. Actions performed in this spirit rise well above worldly desires and expectations. Thus the word anapeksha ought not to be interpreted in a very rigid sense. What it really means is having the irresistible urge to work only for the Lord and for His sole pleasure. However, that does not mean one can do anything and everything. Our actions must be such that they please Him and would secure His approval. If a devotee conducts himself in this fashion, he becomes dear to the Lord.
We are ever grateful to Bhagawan for showering His grace on His devotees. The Sai Bhagawatham is unending. As we dig deeper, so unfathomable His leelas and Mahimas are.
It's a humble effort to bring these gems out of each Samarpan or a talk or a Satsang given by various Sai Devotees across the globe. The best effort that has happened post Maha Samadhi for Devotees is "SAMARPAN". The Divine cannot be explained but can only be experienced is what Bhagawan always said.
Thankful to the Samarpan teams across the globe for organising these enlightening talks to enrich our life, transform our life and to make a step forward towards Divinity.
We are grateful to Bhagawan for giving this opportunity to mine these gems out of the ocean of His love and compassion.
