By chance or whatever reason, in totally unplanned fashion, I had to be at Vellore on 18th Nov. So this meant another opportunity to be with Sadhguru that evening. As trend would have it, it was raining heavily at Vellore as well. This time though, they had closed the seating area, well 60% of it anyway, with tarpaulins. There was also a gallery seating area as it was a play ground. Chairs were arranged there as well.
I learnt an important life lesson that day. As life-lessons go, reminder is a wrong word. If you learn and forget, it is as good as learning anew isn't it? This was not a verbal lesson. It came from looking at someone living in a way that teaches ten or hundred times more than talking about it.
Trends in this nation are disappointing. From multi crore scams, vested interests, corporate greed, apathetic citizens - there is every reason to lose hope and sink into despair. Only one - ONLY ONE aspect keeps the human ("my") spirit alive. I saw a demonstration of it that day.
You can be living in hell. But YOU can be the change agent. And you cannot implement this by determination. This is an inside->out job.
