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...

A Prayer to find my Sister Who I never Knew

-
My Sister left this planet when she was just 27 days in this planet... I may be 2 or 3 years old... Oh My Sister...  This is a letter written long ago in my heart but found its expression today.... It is a special day today .... I wondered always !!!! Why did You leave so early ?? Why did you come to this Planet all the way if it was to leave us so early ?? I know Life is a mystery...  As a child I overheard from a conversation from our family members that  according to my horoscope a girl child cannot be born after me .... Is that why You left ??  Somewhere am i responsible ?? Long time i had this fear... But i am sure i could not have done anything wrong in this life time...  If you were there with us may be I would have been a different person.. May be our family environment had been different.. I don't know...  But yes one thing for sure i have missed all the love you could have given me..  Luckily i studied in a co-education school

My Escape To Surrender

-
Escapism... World Criticized that it is escapism .... Escaping from Life.. Escaping from Responsibilities.. Initially i used to resist but now,  I know yes it is escapism... I can proudly stand in front of this world and say in my source voice... YESSS... I ESCAPED.... I escaped from taking to giving... I escaped from Greed to Generosity.... I escaped from Lust to Love... I escaped from Anger to Awareness... I escaped from Complaints to Gratefulness...I escaped from my bad tendencies to good ones... There was a chase ....So... Yes I ran for sometime till i reached a considerable distance.... Till i reached a place where i cannot go back....Till i forgot where i escaped from... My Escape from Bonding brought me freedom... My Escape from the Head landed me in the Heart... My Escape from feverishness brought me to Perfection... My Escape from Doing ended up in Selfless Seva... My Escape from Selfishness landed in Unconditional Love... My Escape from Darkness b

In search of the Ego that lost in the Chennai Floods…

In search of the Ego that lost in the Chennai Floods… I don’t know if I had to pay back to the city I grew up this way… I don’t know if i was lucky to be there this time… I don’t know if I was destined to be here…. In my Child hood once when there was continuous rains I remember praying… Rain Rain go away… My bro and me even made a song for the same… May be that is why I had to be there to welcome this… I never ever felt that this was too much … Somewhere in me there was this acceptance of the outpour..  Because …. It happened more than 6 months ago I came to know that a disaster (tsunami kind of disaster) is going to struck Chennai this day… I knew the Master knew this… But waited to see how HE handles this… But ran out of patience and the fear that knowing this I am not doing anything about this.. Went to HIM and asked what to do ??? First HE did not answer… But later HE said it will be not be major.. Don’t Worry… Went back with Confidence… B
