I Me Myself!

I am nothing special. I like to think of myself as an ordinary person who continues to have extraordinary experiences; I have determined that whatever has happened to me had nothing to do with me as a person anyway. All my learning and experience is from meeting people of substance.
'Special can be a trap' I have fallen into it many times. I have been able to crawl out and walk again only through His kindness and all-forgiving nature. For when we feel we are special, we are in fact no better and perhaps far worse than the simple creatures that live on earth. They go about their business with none of our vices, none of our endless quest to be something in our own right. Our only true existence is finding our place of service in natural order.
Our only saving grace is our potential to recognise and follow the light within. The only thing special in us is the power, the voice within, the "form" the conscience. For me it is the one they call universally the almighty.
Cause we are all orphans born into this world to surrogate parents. No matter how kind our parents are and how much love and luxuries they shower upon us, we are ever longing for something else, something intangible. Something is missing that we ourselves can't identify, but in the midst of all the glitter and beauty, there is one face we want to see yet we may not even know what it looks like. Surrounded by the wonders of the material world, wanting for nothing, there is a gaping hole inside us which craves to be filled...
As children; each of us hears a voice that guides us throughout our life. Call it our intutions, call it the voice of the universe, call it what you wish, but early in my life it was so clear that it was my constant companion. But somewhere between Bar hopping, flirting and talking crap, when values fall out of fashion, the voice left me, and i, like many Indian youth, felt the material world, with all its temptations, corruption and oppression close in and I got buried..
I had studied what i had understood to be all the world's religions... Yet there was a path of higher learning that was calling, and a methodology not found even in the world's best seats of learning. For what I sought and yearned for was truth and God the authority behind truth was not accessible through books. While I enjoyed the quest for knowledge during my college years, it was the wisdom to use it wisely that was missing. So I followed the voice and the call and struck off on my own terrain, to destination, to points unknown, but totally confident that I would be led on the path that I needed to follow.
Being ordinary & meeting people from all walks of life has enlightened my potentials...
