Talents come alive
This post is dedicated to Ujval who asked,With devotion can talents come alive? Yes! Dormant forces, faculties and talents do come alive.
When you come in touch with the Master, lot more happens beyond your realm of understanding. Initially, it never occurred to me. Now when I look back on few incidents it is amazing to see how subtly he transforms his devotees; it is beyond imagination.
In 1999, One of the Carnatic music teacher had humiliated my singing and I had vowed to myself firmly that would never sing again. However, one day in ashram Gurudev beckoned me to sing and handed the mike to me. The peace in him shimmered and withered the vows in me to sing – Jai Jai Radha Raman Hari Bol…Jai Jai Radha Raman Hari Bol…
Later, I happened to be among 50 people to sing for silver jubilee event with senior teacher of Art of Living, Vikram Hazra in front of 3 million people. The mind transcended its limitation and talent came alive. Why is Gurudev doing such stupendous events like Silver Jubilee-2006, World Cultural Festival (WCF)-2016? Was it for fame or money? No! It is for devotees like you and me to grow.
In Yogasutra, Patanjali says:
When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.
For our growth and expansion, Gurudev will keep having many more such events. Seva(volunteer service) is not for HIM, it is actually for our own growth. To rise above our limitations and to discover our self to be a greater person by far than we ever conceived.
Alright...See you next Thursday for another story of our Satguru.
