Just returned from Delhi, where around 600 people participated in the Inner Engineering with Sadhguru program. Though Delhiites have a reputation for being tough city-dwellers, I think Sadhguru managed to crack their shells.
Volunteering for this program that touched so many people was such a fulfilling experience that I cannot do it justice in words. My birthday was on the 19th, the first day of the program, and I can say without a doubt that it was the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten to be able to spend it in Sadhguru’s presence. I simply feel re-born, fresh as on that day I first arrived here. When I told my sister I’d be volunteering on my birthday, she said I should also try to do something for myself. But I replied honestly that this was for myself. In the deepest possible way, this was unquestionably the best thing I could’ve done for myself. Rather than pamper myself in some transient way, serving others on the same day that my existence began gave me an invaluable perspective as to the nature of my life and purpose.
One other volunteer also shared the birthday with me and shared those sentiments. He happened to be blind, and asked a question about teacher training. Sadhguru replied that it would quite wonderful if he could become a teacher and help show people how to see.
