Earlier this year for some unknown reason, Swami was compassionate enough to give me an opportunity to serve Him in the Sanskrit team for the Master the Mind series. Well, to say that I have never been part of something like this in this life would be an understatement…surely, this is a culmination of the prayers of several lifetimes. Delving deep into Swami’s discourses, every day (sometimes all night!) for hours on end, searching for sources of Sanskrit verses that Swami quoted, resulted in a massive shift, to the extent that almost every word of Swami in the discourses was now taken as a personal instruction. With Swami’s grace, the mind began to become clear of dirt and free from the ripples of thought as the instructions were followed. Finally it makes sense, this seva was only an excuse…all Swami wanted was internal transformation. Am ever grateful for this opportunity while also remaining ever hopeful that Swami will continue to hold our hands and even drag us if necessary (!), to make sure we transform into Divine.
