Who am I?

The question has been on my mind ever since I got back from the Blessing course. I'm up in the morning with one and only one goal. I wash my face and sit upright, in meditation. And then the thought keeps surfacing. Who am I? Who am I?

I have been poring over religious texts in search of an answer. Any answer- a quick glimpse of my life. My life's purpose, if you please, God!!

I TALK to Gurudev, tell him everything, and close my eyes in prayer.

I watched sages captured on Youtube! Each time asking myself: Who am I? Who am I?

I look up at the sky and marvel at its vastness. Who am I? I ask, looking up at the Heavens. Any answers?

Browsing my mails today, I noted an interesting mail forwarded by a lovely niece of mine. It was the story about a teacher who passed on a certain message to a student and asked her to pass the same to two others.


The young student did the needful, and told those two to pass on the message to two others. And so the list grew. Until it was the turn of a certain grouchy business executive who got it.


He then decided to pass on the message to his son.


On receiving the message from his dad, the son broke down and confessed that he was so tired of life that he wanted to commit suicide the previous night, after his parents were asleep. But he couldn't get himself to do so. Maybe that was because God wanted him to receive this very special message from his dad.


And thereby a life was saved.

What was this message which changed the course of one lad's life?

It was a simple blue ribbon which read: Who I am makes a difference...
