no need to wait

Recently after seeing Gautham‘s poignant post DMZ Transgressions I recalled some comments I’d made to this article:

Latest Communication Technology

I had written:

Really liked the simple examples you gave Viral, so obvious that its far too easy to miss them!

A wonderful speech; there is one particularly important thing I learnt from it. In a lot of literature we are encouraged to look for the one special gift within ourselves with with which we can really live life in the fullest way. But when you say my “Gift”, which at that time was simply the ability to push a wheelchair …it hit me that apart from this “some special gift” which may take a person all his lifetime to discover, one shouldn’t miss out on these other simple “Gifts” that are dynamic, situation dependent and is always with us if we are aware enough!

So often we’re searching for something, waiting for something to happen… but missing out on so many possibilities that are already present right now!

Looking back I wonder if I’ve become complacent. Yesterday I’d met Dr. Sawant, a homeopathic doctor in Rajajinagar who’s been totally dedicated to a life of service – running free clinics all over the city. Seeing him work tirelessly really gave me food for thought… worth recalling some ideas I’d come across earlier:

Spirit of Service

This one is from Nipun’s blog:

Spotted outside of the Golden Temple in Amritsar:

Another excellent read: Geneva Plenary Address

And last but not the least… had written a comment on Ramakrishna’s writeup on Mumbai’s gory train blasts… this seems to be exactly the example Viral’s talking about…

This morning I saw a really beautiful scene on TV…

Amidst all the misery, they showed a gentleman going around handing out tea to everybody.

The reporter spoke to him and he said the moment he heard about it he came there to do some service.

Later on the reporter spoke to others and showed some footage etc and just before signing off, came back to this tea-gentleman again and asked him “so how many glasses have you given so far?”

And he replied (Hindi version was better, I can’t remember the exact words) “who keeps count in seva? there is no count…”

—-

So since I wrote that comment, I’ve tried out various things – very simple things. For example at lunch while eating with colleagues, I sometimes if I feel like it, get drinking water for all of them, with a silent wish – may you be happy – while pouring it to each of them. And the cool thing is later on some of them pick up the same habit as well. Just one simple example, but this can be a kind of habit anywhere and everywhere – at home as well as work or anywhere in between! 🙂

    After seeing the picture, which says “Service to humanity is true service to god” (Janara seveye, janardhana seve, in Kannada), I remembered what is written atop Vidhana Soudha: Government’s work is god’s work. (Of course you cannot compare both places.)
    Also, very few people have this mindset to serve others. 9 out o 10 people want others to bring them water. But you are the 10th guy!
