- There was this young guy - who was lost in his own thoughts, he got so weary of thinking the course of life that he decided to give up on every endeavor of his. He just couldn't fit the random aspirations of his mind into one concrete thing which he can point out to and say "this is to be done now".
- Busy figuring what had happened to him - he was reminded of how people often come to him and ask "what should i do next" - how they call it "counseling" and benefit from the process. This reminded him - he has never resorted to something like that - he was always too sure about himself.
- A few more thoughts here and there and the guy was convinced that he does need "counseling" by someone.
- The immediately obvious and the more daunting question to follow was "Who?"
- Now this was a problem. Counseling implies that he should be ready to listen to the other guy - in a matter which touches the core of his being.
- He got his answer - there is only one guy who can do this.
"Professional life is a staircase - you CAN'T reach the topmost without crossing the ones which lead to it"
- the sentence which ignited the long-awaited fire.
The young guy's thought process after meeting him -
I don't care whether what this person says is right or wrong, whether it will lead me to bliss or will deepen my abyss - all I know is that I will do exactly what he wants me to do - no matter what it takes - no matter what I have to do to myself in the process.
What makes me feel that for him? Is it just earth-shattering trust which has given me reason enough to just submit myself to him? Is it love? What is it?
I know I don't need an answer - I am not looking for one.
It is this feeling of trust and self-submission that has made me feel the most intimate moments that i have spent with myself. Which had once brought a stage when I could feel the power that I can reshape the entire world the way i want to see it.
I can now understand why so many people pray.
I now know what it means to call someone "GodFather"
