and he's one of the trustees now

and he's

a few years i think two three years

older than me

and he tells me all these interesting

stories about krishna about shiva about

so many

interesting mythological

legends

of india

and

i'm always interested in things that

have a meaning to it

and here is this story about

a devotee of shiva

who

he prays day and night to shiva

he's he's very very devoted to him

and he does

puja to shiva and everything

so one day he asks lord shiva

lord shiva who is your favorite disciple

so lord shiva says to him look look down

there in the fields

you see that farmer a poor farmer who is

toiling in the sun

his field is plowing the field

he's sweating

and this devotee

is very inside and says but my lord how

come

i pray to you i worship you i do the

pujas and everything to you

and he's only playing the fields and

he's your favorite disciple

he says yes

he

this man

is my favorite

disciple but you have to explain to me

so shiva says look

i'm going to ask you to perform

a certain

act

so the devotee says yes my lord what do

i do

so shiva gives him a cup filled to the

private water

and says

you take this cup

all around the world

and make sure

that not one single drop falls on the

ground concentrate

solely

on making sure that

not a drop falls on the ground

so the devotee says no problem lord i

can do it and he

goes all the way around the world

doesn't drop one drop of water on the

ground comes back to shiva and says

look

i have done what you told me to do

and i have succeeded

so she was saying now tell me

how often did you think of me

while you were doing this

the man says but lord i was

concentrating on making sure that not a

drop falls so she was saying look

my favorite disciple

he doesn't put up with me

he toils his field and while he does so

he prays to me constantly

from dawn to dust he works to feed

himself and his family

but

he never forgets me and when he finishes

his work

he thanks me

for the work that has been performed

now you understand you did

what i asked you to do

but you didn't even think of me once

and this disciple then understood what

is the meaning

of belief and faith in the divine

work is body's best prayer to the divine

says not just lord shiva but even the

mother of the ashram

had said this to me

or to us children

and

when i do my work

as a doctor

i

use this particular consciousness of the

divine

in medicine it's not enough that we

give tablets

or

or chemical

substances to solve psychiatric problems

or other problems or do chemotherapy for

people who are well cancer

yes we need medicine

we can use homeopathy ayurveda all these

things but most of all

it's very important that the doctor or

we or even the patient

use this divine energy in us

which is so much power you can't see it

but it is there and i have done

experiments

i've proven to my colleagues

through laboratory tests

that if i do a certain thing with a

certain state of consciousness

my patients have a very high

rate of success for healing

so it's not just enough to perform a

surgical operation but it is also

important how i perform it with what

state of mind

you know so if you are traveling from

here to chennai in a car

that is defective or giving

more problems you are not going to reach

an eye really where you comfortably were

but if the car is in top condition

then your trip will be successful and if

the doctor

is in top condition

of state of mind body and soul

then he performs

far

in a far superior way his work

than a doctor

who is tormented with his problems his

worries and everything but he does his

work because he's very competent

but this applies also for you for no

matter what work you do as a mechanic

as a secretary as a housewife

whatever

if you maintain this state of

consciousness contact with the divine

within you

then you will see what a difference life

makes

everything be more efficient everything

will be

really

optimal

without you stressing yourself and

sweating

honest to god happiness does not come

through hard work

long meditations and prayers

devotion and all that no

today you know how happiness comes and

why happiness is so important
