I would like to share this beautiful experience of mine that made me realize the importance of Sankalpa, and how a pure desire truly manifests.
One day while we were taking a walk, my husband said to me “Wouldn’t it be nice to purchase a school and run it?” We both had always been in favour of education to all, as we believe that it is extremely essential in order to be self sufficient in today’s world. So we made a strong Sankalpa in our minds that we wanted to teach and educate in a big way, and we then surrendered it at the Lotus feet of Sri Sri.
To our utmost joy and surprise, just within a weeks time, we got a call enquiring whether we were interested in looking after the Sri Sri Ravi Shankar pre-university College. This was like a dream come true, so perfect! We had fulfilled our desire to educate children, the Art of Living way.
Once our work at the college had concluded, we humbly requested Gurudev to put us into some other Seva. We waited as He told us to. We belong to the state of Karnataka. Having lived abroad for the best part of our life, we had returned to Bangalore after retirement. A desire arose in us while we waited to hear from Guruji. We thought that now that we are free, we must travel around to see Karnataka. We have visited other continents, but what a shame that we have not seen our own State yet!
Soon enough, we got a call from Him, and here’s what He said, “You do this, travel throughout Karnataka, touch all the districts and work for the expansion of all activities in Karnataka.”
He had heard us!
I feel so blessed to have such a loving Master in my life, who takes care of every small wish of mine. A sincere desire, for the benefit of others, always gets fulfilled. And the happiness you receive when working for the betterment of society, while doing service to mankind, is just not explainable in words. You have to experience it. It is Bliss:)
In the last couple of years we have seen the entire state of Karnataka, while taking AOL activities forward.
Sankalpa works!
In Gratitude Always
