It is nice to listen to success stories once in a while having heard only grievances of others all these whiles. Last night I met a man who shared his success story. He had left the banking job and took up mobile cleaning services responding to calls. Initially personally cleaning homes and toilets today he has some 400 people doing the job for him. From individuals homes he moved to service commercial and office buildings cleaning both the insides and outsides.
Before meeting him at the engagement function, I met another man from a foreign land. He has settled comfortably in Malaysia taking on tailoring though he had studied electronic. He shared pictures of his happy family who have all made name for themselves too here. When the pandemic affected his trade like many others as there were no events and functions held due to the numerous lockdowns his knowledge in repairing Pc's and laptops came handy as career people and students alike began to repair and upgrade their machines as the former were forced to work online and the latter schooled from home online too.
The regime and discipline in acquiring and accomplishing material gains and standing in the material and religious world is missing when we come to the spiritual world or arrive to know the Spirit (Soul or Atma). Agathiyar had led us through a set of regimes and expected us to practice and uphold it with discipline. Many never started or those who started gave up. To those few who held fast, he had them drop it too after he was satisfied of their achievements. He had them move on to other things never allowing them to be trapped or caught in time or a past era. He was futuristic driving us on to explore the mysteries that abound beyond our senses and the world we know. They led us on explorations, initially external and these days it is internal. He asks that I share them with readers too. I am glad to be his tool.
If only we knew the inside story or the tale behind the veil. The Siddhas know and we do not know. If only we knew and realized that the chances of surviving any situation is slim and yet we survived it, we would forever be grateful to the divine. Life is full of risks right from inception to death, but we never realize. We take things for granted. We demand for a place and a right to things. We feed the ego daily. If only we realize that we live because the divine has chosen to shower its grace on us, we shall settle in to live peacefully.
