Volunteering was not easy...

Volunteer...


I don't know when i became a volunteer .. or have i become one till now....


Volunteering was not easy for many... 

It meant to be getting thrown out of the house... One feels this literally when not involved in many decisions at home
It meant to be seen like a useless by parents, relatives etc... One feels when not able to contribute time and money to the family...
It meant to be depending on others... One feels this when in need for Money, Clothes or for other needs ....
It meant to be sailing through many insecurities... One feels this when thinking about the future, old age and bank balance...
It meant to be losing many relationships.... One feels when the loved ones distance themselves ...

Many Cried and Left.. Few Continued... Few Drowned..

Folks are you experiencing any of this ??? 

Hold on and Sail through...  

A true Volunteer have to Sail through...

But when he sails through and survives ... Later Volunteering became easy when...

Many houses welcomed him... And when many sought advises for their life changing decisions..
Many in the society saw him as the most useful one around...
Many depended on him for their needs ... when he went on giving without knowing from where it is coming...
When he realized the God is the Ultimate Security....
When he was in the Ultimate relationship with one self....



Volunteering also meant ...

Constantly facing the test of faith... & Crossing the faith in the Unseen and the Ultimate...
Detachment and Dispassionate about things one wants... & also to be passionate in serving others..
Losing/Sacrificing everything one have.... and Still remaining contented from the core of your heart...

To allow others to grow around you bigger than you.... But Still being happy about the same...

Volunteering at the end is ...



Surrendering oneself totally to the Great Mind...
Being Available to the Moment for the People around oneself....
Accepting the people and situations as they are in this moment...
To be totally in this moment and live life happily....


Knowing this I am sailing through the journey ...
To offer everything and be available without expecting an appreciation....
To leave a lot of good work to my next generations....

And One day i will walk away from this life without turning back to even see what i am leaving behind ... 

As a true Citizen.. As a true human being... As a true Volunteer...As God ....

Till then let us Volunteer for a better India... Jai hind... Jaigurudev...
