I have really no idea how many lifetimes are packed into this one life. Everything is moving at such an unimaginable pace. I remember the first Volunteers meet in Aurangabd a month ago. We were around 5 people with absolutley no idea about how the Utsav was going to happen.
Yesterday there were more than 1500 people on the ground enjoyng the satsang and a fantastic Q & A session with our very dear Bau and Dinesh. Many Many things happened in between. For the first time I had to deal with downright aggression. The biggest problem of Maharashtrians is Food. I would not be surprised even if they serve Ice cream with green chillies! I realised the impact of food on the mind.
The first thing I did there was we started Group Sadhna and emphasised on sattvic food. Some of them even left white sugar completely. As the sattva increased things started moving and enrollments started pourng in. We touched 1400 by the last day. And the course was Graced by the presence of Guruji on the secong day straight after Sudarshan Kriya. He spend more than an hour with the participants answering their questions and listening to their Experiences.
As I have already mentioned In my first post That my life is a series of roller coaster rides that culminate in perfectly happy endings. What I learnt from this entire expereince was that all you need is a sincere intention to spread the knowledge. The impact of what you do is directly proportional to the amount of Grace you "allow" to flow through your actions. How much Grace you can access depends on how sattvic is your presence. Satva in turn depends on how good a meditator you are. HOw quickly can you let go of all the good and bad expereinces in life. Having this understanding and constantly recognising that the unseen energy is at work every single moment of our life.

Oh! WONDERFUL. Supreme
Jai Gurudev
You cleared a mystery today ;-)
Its the Satva that matters, the bhaw, the intention with which Seva happens :-)
Prior to the action, Seva is an attitude- I am available , yes I am available for whatever work the divine needs me
Jai Gurudev

The last para was beautiful... Letting go of all the good and bad times was what struck me the most. I was always under the impression that you let go of only that which is unpleasant.
But to let go of all good things too..... wow that was such an aho moment for me. I am realizing that there is no need to read pages and pages of knowledge. Just a few words here and there are enough to spend a whole day contemplating.
Thx for this deep knowledge. Just the last para is worth a read several times.
