Decisions

Speak Less. Only as much as essential.

Essenceful. Mature. Sweet. Soft. Dignified. Positive.

Failed

Needed to convey an idea. Ended up trying to impress and persuade. Failed to retain the level of self respect... and regained it only by the end of the conversation.

I do not need to convince. I do not need to persuade. I need to stay in my sense of dignity, maintain my self respect. Everything will be taken care of. I have no personal agenda. It is not my work. Success is guaranteed.

Attention!

The Great Puppeteer

Terrific example today. Requested for clear directions today and instantly got vividly clear directions during the murli. Needed permissions from many and felt sceptical, but got instant approvals.

Why on Earth should I even try to do anything limited? Why not only do what you want to do? Huh, I really really need to let go of the doing part. Being an instrument is the most liberating feeling ever!

The Inverse approach

He had said:

Be Incorporeal, Egoless, Viceless

I would have preferred the positive way of phrasing it...

Soul Conscious, Humble, Pure/Virtuous

Until I figured out today that my approach is the first step and its easy to start and to build confidence...and his approach is for the final stage when its easy to track whatever is remaining to be eliminated in order to achieve perfection.

And he did start by practicing...

Jashoda is a soul...

Hmm...It is wonderful to see how everything is invaluable at a different stage of life. There is a long long way to go.

Dad, you are just super!

Raw realization

I had become completely bankrupt and had not even realized it...

I had experienced the following vices and shortcomings (at some serious level or the other) before coming to the path of spirituality

Lust, anger, ego, hoarding, attachment, laziness, fear, pretense, stealing, lying, deceit, gossip, vulgarity, worry, negative thinking, miserliness, poverty, ingratitude, selfishness, parasitic behaviour, stupidity, distrust, self conscious

The following vices and shortcomings still caused serious challenges during the journey in spirituality

Lust, ego, pretense, attachment, distrust, some worry...

The following limitations are still lurking at various levels and can collapse into any and all the vices if attention is let go

Body consciousness, curiosity, ordinariness, love for research even when unnecessary, justification, need for repeated proofs, spiritual dullness, taking control, excess talk, fear of failure, distrust, confusion, thinking more and doing less...

The following deep experiences came to me only after coming into the path of spirituality

Purity, peace, love, freedom, happiness, bliss, knowledge of life, positivity, poetry, sweetness, friendliness, authenticity, dedication, generosity, humility, detachment, discipline, honesty, sincerity, cooperation, contribution, solitude, contentment, dignity, royalty, confidence, elevated thinking, power, abundance, gratitude, altruism, pure feelings and good wishes, wisdom, tolerance, flexibility...

Demonstration of real living

Attended a class by Dadi Janki meeting a group of newcomers.

"You have heard... have you understood?"
"Yes!"
"You have understood, now will you put it in action?"
"Yes!"

She spoke as a soul to fellow souls. With love, concern and goodwill. The thoughts were simple, pure, profoundly powerful. Very persuasive.

It's easy for each point to make total impact when it is lived. When it is no longer a point of knowledge but real life. Tremendous.

Seeing is not the same as reaching

When the goal is in sight, it does not mean I have reached the goal. It's still a long way off. A loooooooong long way off.

Need to maintain the stage with attention. The intense focus on service in between took off attention from the core efforts. And the overall efforts plummeted to the stage a couple of weeks ago. Interesting - the stage is good but the efforts are down. This is the way the downward spiral begins. Time to step up the attention on efforts again.

This assessment questionnaire is a boon.

Frank and Forthright Feedback

Excellent feedback given by a senior. Direct, loving, caring, yet concerned about the changed behaviour.

Reason? Lack of time to communicate unavailability. Too many service initiatives, many broken commitments...this is busier than any professional setup. And yet no time for what the sabbatical was meant for. Hmm..

Took the feedback very well. Accepted, apologised. Expressed helplessness on inability to handle things better...especially when the heart wants to serve and somehow believes that by some magic every bit of service can be done in each service wing.

Causing trouble (by broken commitments) and extra thoughts is not service. This is not the intended result of signing up to serve.

The strange thing is the result of the whole episode. A return apology from this noble soul who felt bad on having given the reprimand...and some comments on why 'i am needed' in that particular form of service.

'You have spoilt everyone' by being dedicated in doing what you do...and being taken for granted when available is inevitable. Must learn to say no firmly to whatever is 'required' without consideration to current commitments.

Another senior had an interesting perspective. Set strictly firm timings for self progress. During other times be available for service of any type.

Today for the first time, saw true detachment from each form of service. There was no excitement, no eagerness any more... no more getting lost in the details. It was action that was sincere, dedicated and yet detached and able to switch off quickly.

Another nice test was when 'my time' was being 'wasted' by making me wait while some 'unimportant' work was going on. After a few moments, seized the lottery of using this idle time wisely in churning.

Hmm... some signs of progress.

Pure Bliss

If any student of spirituality, nay, any student of life wants to quench their thirst and to feel truly fulfilled, there is no better nectar than the deep reflective study of avyakt murlis. As one studies on... the intellect opens, the perspective broadens, everything becomes very vividly clear...

Loving spoon feeding by God... simply out of the world experience.

Renunciation

The course on renunciation is simply out of the world! So simple. So elegant. So profound. So beautiful! Aha ha!
Starting 1.4.1982.

Complete Handover

Jumble of thoughts...

• Doing my 'duty' at Amritvela - communicating with appropriate instruments... as a friend.
• Compassionate approach towards those who have hurt others
• 'Do Not Interfere' - a strong yet strange 'guideline'. I obey.
• Surrendering fully - the whole self progress plan has been an abysmal failure wrt the targets set. This really needs God's help.
• Handing over the senses - no need to know anything or to tell anyone
• No idea on how to manage different requests - have been saying no to everything! Still doesn't work.
• 'Scared'/Unsure about handing over the planning intellect. Trust...
• Need to build real depth... and then don't care about Maya's attacks
• No review/post mortem/assessment needed
• Asking Baba to grant the wisdom so that I can be self reliant!!!
• Why not trust God, Drama and the Process?
• Others have not succeeded... maybe they didn't trust! Follow father and mother!
• The ones who have faith in the intellect are successful.
• How can I tell others until I know the plan? But then, how can I know the plan until I let go of the status quo?
• Handover the reins... handover the intellect... Give UP! Let go! Be Free!
• This is 1932 level purusharth... gee...

Unconditional Surrender?

• Tried to avoid taking the frontline for service... surrender now.
• Remembered the topic for today several times... but not good enough.
• No study for homework
• Hmm...Further pushback for service is not fair
• Avoid things that do not need participation... have no real contribution
• Listened to many stories of pain
• Uttered brusque/witty statements - 'familiarity'/casual.
• Many remarks - assessments on others regarding suitability for apt service.
• Hmm...
• Every free second must be used. No excuses.
• Well... this is nowhere near.

What would I do if I had only 14 days to live?

1. Unconditional Surrender
2. Complete handover
3. Total internal renunciation
4. Dedication towards maximum fulfillment
5. Combined - Tapasvi
6. Non stop service
7. Drill Mastery
8. Exploring golden aged virtues
9. Master Ocean of mercy

Full stop

Put a full stop to reviewing the past. One minute is more than enough to do a calm comprehensive review in a detached manner. Then FINISH IT forever.

In depth checking

Checking on a variety of fronts:

• Celebrating a milestone or accepting the outcome gracefully and knowing it to be inevitable
• Taking the 'calling' personally or as a call from God for using a suitable instrument
• Doubtful thoughts about possible mistakes or stable in the throne of self respect
• Desire for name, fame, recognition or detached and beyond
• Inhibited or excited by unexpected limelight or being comfortable as a demo piece
• Forgetting the original plan due to new interesting activities or sticking to it in depth
• Rebelling as per old habits or accepting and becoming the stage as per the guidance given

Trust broken and restored

Trust was broken when something was taken without permission. And yet with silence the status quo was maintained. To let things be as they are and to change the perception - it is not a case of broken trust. It is a case of friendship and family feeling where there is no need for permission...

Trust. Silence. No guessing. Acceptance and Love. Freedom and letting others free.
Wah!

Destroying at a distance

Detected Maya from afar before it had any power to influence and destroyed it completely. Immensely satisfying.

Now I know this is WAR. Today's murli was fascinating in terms of defining stability.

Blessings

A very simple way of giving and receiving blessings: Listen attentively.

Talk without substance

Talking about Baba without staying connected to him is not acceptable. Instrument consciousness is gone and connection is broken.

Predictability

A good instrument has predictable behaviour. Even an instrument that has flaws but is predictable is a useful instrument in the hands of a master.

An instrument that behaves erratically from time to time is quickly set aside. Like a leaky pen that may write well at times but leaves a large blot suddenly from time to time...

Checking point: Am I predictable?

Clear off the daily account

If the chart is not properly expressed and the day is not cleared up at night, the missing aspects flash in front in the morning.

Baba gives signals even for physical health and safety. I need to use them.

Excellence and worthiness

Excellence needs mastery in some discipline.
To be a worthy instrument needs good background in many disciplines.

The Puppeteer

Every experience, every gift, every idea, every viewpoint, everything is suddenly useful - even every mistake. There is nothing to be grateful about...you are at work.

I am a puppet, an instrument.... and though I thought I knew that, I did not even begin to know the extent of it all...

Past is past

Everything to be looked at afresh. From an eternal perspective - like you maintain.

Clarity comes from yoga

When there is good yoga, the intellect clears up. The clouds of uncertainty are lifted and visibility is restored. Things are simple again.

Deep Yoga

During deep yoga the body goes into complete relaxation. It becomes still. It is a state of rest. There is no movement, no awareness of the body, of the limbs etc.

The state is experiential. When awareness returns to the present moment, the body becomes available...slowly each limb, the organs become available.

Scared?

Early morning - Pitch dark. Silent walk up the hill. A sudden rustle from a nearby bush. The heart skips a beat. Snake?

Caught! Getting back to soul consciousness and then remembrance and then moving on calmly.

Soul consciousness is a state beyond fear.

Some old reflections and an action plan

Why have I not arrived?

• My goal - the final goal is not crystal clear; vividly clear in complete detail including my lifestyle and code of conduct
• The benefits of change/transformation have not been realized
• Fear of failure? What if I make full efforts and fail?
• Am I lacking integrity?
• Still enjoying the old and worn out but well known and comfortable?
• Why do I fear realization? Accept the shortcomings...
• Any lack of faith? Love? Any Doubts?
• Laziness in spirituality... not going deep enough
• Lacking regular deep experiences

Action Plan - what small steps can I take right now

• Quality not Quantity
• Self stage and purusharth before everything else
• Stop. Check and Change every 15 minutes

How to be complete and perfect in a second?

Go into the essence - the seed stage.

Project Block?

Is this service project a block - an obstacle for completing my homework? Like a scaffolding that must be removed before construction is complete?

No it is not. It is a test of dharana. Its actually brilliant.
Claiming a powerful stage is attitude driven. Circumstances never hinder. They only help reach the right goal faster.

Every block encountered is there as the next level to be crossed for further success. Stability in yoga is the bedrock of yogi life.

Thinking much about blocks/challenges makes them seem big.
Detach, go beyond, connect, empower and then re-look. Now its easy.

A powerful stage DESTROYS weaknesses.

Company of the Best

The two best teachers (one for theory, one for practical implementation), the two wisest souls in the universe are my personal guides.

Everything is vividly clear. I just need to stay focused.

Rebellion

I refuse to stick to plans and routines for the sake of them even if I have carefully created them in my own best interest. I tend to go with the flow. Going deeper is more appealing than following a structured routine that would be more balanced and holistic.

Hmm...

Busy with what?

Can you do this?
And that too?
And oh yes, this one is urgent.
And this one is best done by you.

So many unfulfilled requests. All important. All service oriented. All with high impact. All asked with love and trust. Supply simply does not match demand. Prioritizing them does help but has big limitations.

No wonder he tells us - make others equal to and better than yourself. Its not about talent or knowledge or skill. Everyone is uniquely equipped to contribute. Its not even about dedication. Its about demonstrated ownership and trustworthiness.

Clearly I have not been effective in supporting other souls in a way that many more can be available to fulfill these service opportunities.

Interesting thing is that as you work more and more on yourself, more and more opportunities for expression through service and stage come your way.

Meanwhile Dad has a request. One HUGE request.
Die permanently from ordinariness.

Do not try to practice

Practice of inculcating virtues can be superficial. It is more useful to go into the depths of self realization and emerge those virtues.

Faith

The child giggles with joy
When the father throws her into the air

The child jumps into the water
When the Father asks him to jump

The little bird flaps its wings vigorously and
Finally leaves the branch to fly like its mother

Faith. Trust. Assurance. Comfort. Security.
No fear. No worries.

It's not my job.
Dad is here - you are just helping out - he will guide.
Now smile please.

They smiled... and he smiles

Oh yes, another innocent one
Who has lofty aims
To succeed where none could reach before
In a timeframe that is inconceivable
Except by our common teacher

They smile. Yes, it is a trick of this old teacher
He urges us to work hard
But it is not possible

If he said it, it must be true, say I
He would not lie
They smile. Then they look at me and nod slowly

He will help If I try
They agree
I turn to him and he says, do not try
That is a sign of weakness
Victory is your birthright, claim it.

Calm in Chaos

There is much to be done
The goal is lofty
Don't know the way yet

And yet there is my silent invisible companion
He is there calm, resolute, powerful

I turn to him and feel assured
I turn back to the task and forget everything
The task looms large and I plan and plan and re-plan
And then sheepishly turn back to him

There is chaos
There is calm in there too

Love and Social mores

An old captivating song...

There is love on one side and the world on another...
Where should I go...O where should I go?

The heart says go wherever the beloved goes

Another one...

The eyes do not know him but the heart recognizes
Who is this who has come into my heart?

Yet another...

Come sweetheart, let us go beyond the moon
I am ready, come let us go

Come let us get lost among the stars
Let us leave this world and these lands today

Even if this life gets over,
Let our journey of love not end...

One more...

Having asked for your company,
I have asked for the whole world

The heart says I have found the beloved
I say I have found my love
I have found my friend, I have found a new world

My hopes have been fulfilled, my dreams have come true
I have found everything needed for this life
I have found my support

My heart is young and the times are beautiful
Come let us go somewhere
Take me anywhere, I have faith in you...

You are my life, you are my heart
You are my journey, you are my destination
You are the star of my hopes

Truly all love is a seeking for your love... that true undying eternal love
A mysterious hero from far beyond comes and captivates the heart

Meanwhile the world is caught up in trivial little things. And the social mores seek to trap the heart in the mundane. But once you taste the nectar of Gods how can anything else appeal?

Disengagement

Use the organs when there is need. Otherwise stay disengaged.

Jewels of Knowledge

Each Jewel is worth millions. There are many millionaires who are spiritually poor and there are many who are poor but spiritually well off.

A sign of true spiritual prosperity is that physical prosperity cannot be far behind. Physical wealth needs to be treated with dispassion, but it will arrive.

The opposite situation - of King Janak - is rare. To have physical prosperity and then arrive at spiritual wealth.

But no matter what the background, everyone can benefit from these jewels...

Personal tuition

God will provide personal tuition if required. He will provide all experiences.
I just need to get out and take it as much as I want.

Carpe diem! Seize the day! What an opportunity!

Just to spend some time in introspection and being flooded with insights - like last week - what a tremendous fortune.

These are truly pampered times. How rare this opportunity! And yet how few the takers! Who would believe that people are really reluctant to practically benefit themselves...All benefits are rejected...change must really feel scary.

Many flavours of truth

Every point adopts many different levels of meanings. Entirely different perspectives depending on the one who is thinking about it.

We create our realities. The observer affects the observed.

What a grand drama!

Aha - finally I met the decision maker

There is only one soul who decides the final stage. Myself.

There are no reasons or excuses. Becoming equal to the Father is easy if I follow the Father instead of catering to whims and fancies of one and all (including mine).

Get to the point. Accept unconditional personal responsibility. There is no choice.

Uninspired Independence

Once again the need arose and I took some independent decisions. It was almost involuntary. And the result was a good sharing that many appreciated. But it felt inadequate. It lacked the elevated feeling that comes from being an instrument of God.

Being good, being independent is simply not upto the mark.

I submit the decisions made:

• I will uphold the glory of the family through my elevated conduct
• I will experience deep personal sustenance from you through Tapasya
• I will complete the homework given by you by Oct 20, 2008

Now I let go of the ego of the intellect. I surrender.
Please guide me - I will follow you.

I will stay in dependence from now on.

Time for Compassion

When people indulge in self praise, have compassion. They are good, but they are lacking self esteem at the moment. They are trying to get it back. They are trying to remind themselves and others. It is hard work and it is unpleasant for all.

Give them loving good wishes. Let them get back on track soon.

The Yagya is fantastic

The yagya is just divine. The dadis uphold the culture and the principles.  The love and sustenance is just fascinating.

Today again I felt the immense satisfaction of watching a wise elder lovingly advise and admonish on the code of conduct. Such elevated thoughts. Such high standard of behaviour. Tremendous dharana.

There are many who do not live up to it. But the best students are clearly out of the world. Even the best make mistakes from time to time. But today I felt deep admiration for some fellow human beings. They have done well. Blessings from my heart. Showpieces in God's showcase.

Wah Baba, your ways are unique. Your family is unique.
You are so incognito. So amazingly unique.

Dowry

Today after Amritvela I was strangely considering the dowry I would give for my sister's wedding in the Golden age.

And then I brushed the thoughts as silly. How could there be dowry in Golden age - it is a marriage by choice 'swayamvar'! And then today's murli talked about the dowry system in the Golden age. Very interesting.

Easy vs Hard... and Atheism

As long as I try, it is hard work. When I express helplessness and turn to God, there is rapid progress.

When there is defeat and I turn to Baba, there is rapid progress again.

Why not turn to God before feeling helpless? Why not get it done through him in the first place? It is so easy if I am with Baba and yet the ego fools me into thinking again and again that it is easy for me to do it alone.

Perhaps this is also to do with the trust factor. When a soul placed its trust on the sages and the priests and when they could not deliver God but turned out to be well meaning fellow seekers who were merely repeating hand me down learnings...the trust was broken. And when a soul seeks and seeks and does not find, it becomes an atheist.

For an old soul, atheism seems synonymous with the case of broken trust. And it takes God himself to repair the damage. It has certainly been worth the trouble...though I dare say it may not have been an easy journey in my last couple of births.

Now, I must remember to take it easy. Baba - I am yours again.

Something wrong

Greatness. Ordinariness. One day reverent faith. Next day pondering over the basics to reaffirm and build faith.

Starting from first principles each day...does it make any sense? Yes, but not really from scratch each time!!! Something wrong...isn't it?

In God we Trust

They say, they write... 'In God we Trust'.

Do they really?

I discovered that after all these years, and so many many attainments, I did not really trust God with handling 'my ultimate goals'. If I really let go of 'my grand plans' , would I get stuck like so many others have? Would I get trapped in some administrative trivia? Great talk, no stuff?

And yet, on examination every goal turned out to be his goal pretending to be mine! Wonder of wonders! This life is way beyond my most extreme ambitions and yet the bar has been raised again. And I commit the folly of striving to do it alone. O ego! You have fooled me again...and i did not notice for so long.

What could be simpler common sense than let him take care of the stuff and live a simple happy life? Common-sensical real living is totally missing most of the time.

A great instrument is one through which the master creates masterpieces effortlessly - without having to worry about any quirky behaviour on the part of the instrument.

Trust God. He can see the big picture. Don't try to change the master's strokes. It will all fit well in the grand scheme of things.

'Good' Answers

A 'good' short answer for all situations: 'It depends'.
Everything is context driven.

Well, almost everything.
A 'right' answer for all situations: 'First be soul conscious and then...'

This is not a race

There is no race... it is a collaborative effort. We are supportive of each other. We will reach wherever we need to reach.

Authenticity has tremendous power. Living in the unlimited. REAL Life.

What is Purity?

Purity is not absence of impurity.
That's like saying light is the absence of darkness!

Purity is Originality

Purity is Truth

Purity is Beauty - It is attractive

What is meant by an Ocean of purity?

God is truth. God is benevolent. God is pure... beautiful.

Rhetoric

One speech felt like rhetoric while another was persuasive. The difference was not in the content or delivery style. It was purely on the level of purity and yoga power.

Deep Love

Dadis had tremendous exposure to Sakar Baba. That deep love for God stems from that. To have similar love, it needs similar companionship. The offer is open and constantly extended. Constant loving remembrance - Tapasya.

Joy

Fundamental happiness goes missing pretty quickly - it is effervescent in an achievement driven world where quantity is sought. I need to invest time in building depth and quality.

Joy comes when I am self aware and aware of the wonder of the drama!

The Joy of sight, the joy of hearing, of enacting roles, of meeting others, of dancing with God! We are one large lovely variety family! What a game!

This is a giant playground of life! A wonderful fascinating drama!

And what a special role I have got!

The poor little rich boy

The character 'Richie Rich' was described as the poor little rich boy. After all when you have everything you could ever want, what can motivate or inspire you?

And yet how wrong that can be...

In this confluence of the worst and the best ages, there are many great motivators...

• A great cause
• Love
• Opportunity to enact a wonderful role

And the Golden age is a time where there is no want but there are infinite opportunities to express one's innate qualities. No wonder that art flourishes.

Freedom from Obstacles

There are no obstacles for one who has decided to be victorious. There are only side scenes and learning opportunities.

Slowing down

There is great beauty in slowing down and living in remembrance of God.

I Recognize that...

You have given me the job
You have called me for the training
You are preparing the groundwork necessary
I am your instrument.

I will stay focused.

Guidelines from a senior

Whatever you do, have a concrete aim. Make it measurable.
Prepare specific actionables so that others can follow easily.
Topics that would be useful:

• Secrets of karma
• Conquering matter
• 8 hours of yoga
• Contentment
• Visual Murlis
• Viceless intellect
• Disaster Management

"You are a bridge between science and spirituality.
The Yagya will benefit significantly and so will everyone."

Watching Angels in Action

You can learn a lot just by watching. Actions shout!

The contents may completely be ignored but every movement speaks volumes. Madhuban is a palace of Mirrors. Every action is visible instantly to everyone. Everything is crystal clear to everyone...wow!

Even one act of humility instantly commands respect. The stage is visible on the face and action.

DO NOT TRY

Don't try. Be.

This furnace will put the seal of perfection.
Unconditional. Forever.

Power

Knowledge and churning DO NOT equal power.

Authority of experience equals power.

A new form of dying

Going away from books is like dying. They suddenly seem so vitally important that I have to tear myself away. And finally I did take a couple along.

It hasn't been like this before. Hmm.

Get the perspective

There have been many who came and spoke wise words. Some also had a great sense of humour. They could captivate the audience. But they couldn't change the world.

They couldn't transform lives by their presence.

No Hurry

Time and the paucity thereof is an illusion.

I will take as long as needed for digesting each murli. I will only move onto the next murli when I am thoroughly satisfied. There is no hurry.

As someone said - "the hurrier I go, the behinder I get".

When a strength becomes a handicap

When I am overwhelmed by the need to exercise my strengths...it is a handicap.

The strength is a strength when it is used at will and discarded unceremoniously when not required.

Who is 'in charge' here?

If I do not set the priorities for my life, the world will set them for me.

For success in purusharth, life skills are just as essential. It is only superficially different. Acknowledge the challenges-physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and learn, change and move forward.

The same problem can arise at different levels. The outward symptoms are the same, the reasons and perspectives are different but the problem is the same - same damages too... they need to be overcome.

I may have all the best resources in the world... but I am the master who determines what is the best form of usage...

Hmm...am I really the master? Do I really determine that all (or even most of) the time?

No. Not yet.

NOTE to Self

The Project I involve in will be fully useful for me from day one. Then with the authority of experience I will expand the sharing to make it fully effective.

The best plan that has all the detail but is too prohibitively complex will not be adopted by anyone (including myself!)

Start simple and then build.

Beyond task orientation

I am not at the mercy of the TO DO list.
I have the privilege of choosing my actions... it is the tasks that will have to battle for the honour of my taking them up as a service initiative.

Priorities. When I sort out my perspective, everything becomes clear in my life.

Dad - how do you use Your time?

About Decisions

Decisions are critical.
Even if I know something, it is when I decide how my life is going to be on the basis of the acquired knowledge, that decision makes all the difference.

Exam and Certification

It is not that after so many days I will have an exam.
It is, I have exam for so many days and then I will be certified.

Huge difference in perspective between the two...

Mercy and Compassion

That was a good test paper... letting go of everything...I, mine, ego...possession of ideas, initiative, depth, ownership... and just following like a child. Good good good. Seeing something sub-optimal and then letting go... being appreciative(with a pause at first... but later from the heart)...not straightforward at all, but the direction is right.

And excellent question: No matter what the situation - how can I contribute right now in a positive way?

Accepting my reality...who am I in God's vision... and then behaving accordingly.

God at work

How could I even imagine taking the job title personally? You do the work from every direction... you touch the intellects, prepare the ground, set the stage, articulate the cause, bond the souls... and I had thought I was taking initiative!

Doer? No, you are the inspirer.

To be beyond personal identity and to be used as an instrument is such a privilege!
And the moment there is any personal involvement, how ordinary the whole thing becomes...What a privilege to watch you work at close quarters!

And yet... No. This is not just a privilege. This is what is necessary...natural... essential. Hmm...it takes time to digest this.

Clock and the Compass

Truly speaking the original plan has been taken over by innumerable activities.

As they say, the Compass is better than the clock - setting the right direction, doing the right things, holding tight to the principles and being easy on the tasks.

Justification even now?

Noticed a tendency to justify and prove... and then gently went beyond.

They say... the Universe helps

When the vision is profound, the universe rallies around to help achieve it...Ideas fly in from everywhere...guess who is helping?

You are truly the father of all. And how incognito!

Law of behaviour

You can only act at the level of your own self respect
