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.

In the face of difficult situations and troubling conditions, what makes the difference is how a person is wired to respond, says Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, the no-nonsense spiritual guru who is scheduled to address the World Economic Forum at Davos for the fourth year running in January 2009.

“You can’t change the world, but at least you can make yourself the way you want to be,” he says. The individual is Sadhguru’s sole and untiring focus, as he spreads the word about the relevance of inner engineering. “You can’t outsource joy,” he says, and emphasizes that only joyful persons can help humanity.

This Guru’s Cool

Delhi, spiritual? Well, the city definitely seemed to like a Saturday evening out with a spiritual twist, going by the crowd one saw at Siri Fort on Saturday evening, where Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev was to give a talk on Inner Engineering.
