MUDDY WATER

I have stated in my introduction, the difficult past I had. I, Morgan, was the Muddy Water. Swami, in my vision explained to me an exercise had to be done in the temple to demonstrate to the people the true meaning of this vision.

There were 2 glasses of water. One was crystal clear, whilst the other had mud in it. The muddy water symbolized me, Morgan, and the crystal clear water was Swami. I was the muddy water, because I was often referred to as being stupid, mad, the so-called black sheep of the family. I was branded because of my behavior and bad habits. I had in the past, no knowledge of God or his teachings. My father often told me, “don’t sit in the temple and pretend to be good, but do bad things. When someone knocks on the door, answer it and help, and they will leave you with good words and kind blessings. Be kind, help always and be a good human being.”

My family and friends constantly labelled or branded me, because of my violent behavior. I was Bipolar by nobody did anything to help me. But Swami took the reins. This is when he started pouring in crystal water into the muddy water. He continued to do so until the muddy water overflowed and became clear. That’s how, I, Morgan became the clear clean water. I’m not saying, that I’m perfect or a saint, but I’m saying that I am so thankful to Swami for renewing my life and showing me the way. Its so important for us to be ourselves, original, and not pretend to be someone else. Swami’s lesson regarding the water is that a rotten egg can be changed, by assisting others if they are willing to repent. Destiny can be changed, only by the Lord himself. We must try to uplift mankind to the best of our ability.

I am living testimony that Swami is alive, that God is alive! This exercise changed my way of thinking. It taught me the power of love, to respect, to share, to care and to humble myself. I did a 360 degree turnaround, a complete revolution towards a new life.

What Swami has done for me, I’m trying my best to do for others. I often hear people say that they cannot believe that I’m now a Guru, a Captain of our temple US690. They are in absolute awe of the change in me. As I excel in Swami’s work, the envy starts, but it won’t stop me from doing what I’ve been chosen to do. I’m focused and I’m still learning from Swami. People should do the same, instead of being trapped in their limited lives.

I do not allow the water to be muddy, and neither will I allow anyone to put mud into my water. I’m thankful of Swami, for showing mercy and bringing out the best in me. What Swami did for me, he can do for you! You just need to build that relationship with God as I have done. Keep trying and if you fail, no problem. Its better to try and fail, than fail to try. We are given second chances in life. Make the best of yours. Don’t pay attention to others! Pay attention to yourself. Don’t tune your ears to gossip, rather focus or tune them to bhajans or the teachings of the Lord. If you don’t trust anybody, then at least trust yourself.

Never be fooled into believing what others call you. If they call you a pig, you will tend to behave like one, yet you neither are a pig nor look like one. Don’t be the muddy water.

Think, sleep and be with God.

Do Good, Be Good!
