When you face hardships and struggle in life, cling and hold on to the
Lord. To instill courage in an infant, its mother persuades it to walk a
few steps and turn, but she won’t allow it to fall. If it totters and
is about to lose balance, she hurries behind and catches it! The Lord
too has His eyes fixed on each individual (jivi). He has in His hand the
string of the kite, which is humanity! Sometimes He may pull it, and at
other times He may loosen the grip! Whatever He does, be confident and
carefree, for it is He who holds the string of your life. That solid
faith will fill you with the essence of love (prema-rasa). The string is
the bond of love and grace and every individual (kite) is thus bound to
the Lord. All you must do is to walk the path so that the bond of love
and grace is strong. (Prema Vahini, Ch 29)
