"Holy" Turning Point........

Last Saturday, the 22nd of Nov. 2014, will be etched in my memory for years to come.    

                     

Had been invited by ASPEN India to attend the talk "Cultivating Key Human Values" at the Imperial Hotel. The talk was by none other than His Holiness, The Dalai Lama !!

This in itself was a great experience, having the good fortune of witnessing & listening to the  great thought leader in person. And before I realized it, the 2 hours of his lecture just flew past and it was time for him to leave.

I moved closer to the stage in the hope of meeting him, but he came a little to this side of the stage and then turned and started walking away to the other end. I felt really bad about coming this near and not being able to meet him and as this depressing feeling was going on in my heart & mind and getting worse with every step of his moving in the opposite direction, my heart really sank.

and..... then........ suddenly... he took a U-turn  on the stage and started moving in my direction, with his hand extended and his charming smile reaching his eyes. I really didn't know what was happening. I just stood there, amazed, with both my hands tightening on my purse and not knowing what was going on. By now he had come straight to me and while I was still in a trance, he was bending from the stage, with his hand extended directly towards me. I don't know when I put my right hand in his hand and shook hands with him, my happiness knowing no bounds. It was as if he had heard what I was thinking & feeling and had automatically reacted.


Till even moments after this Great & Holy experience, I could not believe that he had actually come back just to shake hands with me. And now I firmy believe that if you really & truly want something, God makes sure you get it. or in SRK's words " agar tum shiddat se kuchch bhi chaaho, to poori kayenaat use tumse milaane me lag jaatee hai".


I can never forget this experience........!!
