A heartfelt message

The following is a translated version of a message we received from the father of a kid, suffering from cancer. Some of us had joined hands to contribute money to enable the father to have his son operated. Such messages, show us how even our little deeds could make such a huge impact on someone's life:

“My dear sisters and brothers, I am an uneducated and underprivileged person who lost my parents at an early age and could not get enough education. Yet, struggling with daily bread and butter, I have never committed a crime or deceived anybody knowingly or unknowingly. I surrendered myself to religion and my venerable Guruji who taught me to ever remain honest and humble, even in the face greatest of provocations. I always got opportunities to earn money using devious means but have eschewed that path even in the face of greatest of provocations. Guruji used to tell me that one day misfortune will befall you yet you will meet the most beautiful people one can ever meet and they will show you the path of enlightenment. Today is the day. God has sent you to me to emancipate me. Your love and dedication to my dying child have brought back my lost faith on humanity. Irrespective of whatever happens, I have decided to dedicate my life for the service of humanity. You all have taught me that that I have to love the world, make a supreme sacrifice. You have taken me to the path of enlightenment in this most difficult interregnum. May God bless you all, may you live ever happily, and may no disruption ever touch your mind.

I want to say more but I am not endowed with eloquence, even in my mother tongue. Hence I pray silently for you. For me, silence is the greatest beatitude which forms a swirling pearl of prayer in this complex and inexplicable cauldron called life.

As sun sets in the ocean, I commend all of you to the holy feet of the Lord."
