Story of my life CHAPTER -1
Preface It is in response to the wishes of my friends
and disciples that I begin to write this brief account of my life.
As between my friends and me, it is a rare mingling of heart and soul , a bond of love
amounting to a union of truest minds.
They have asked for a closer view of my back ground and of my past.
What I write ,I hope, would meet their wish in full.
As I take up my pen, Iponder for a moment on the Divine Power that has made and set
in motion all the innumerable stars and planets within self.This ethernal and flawless movement
of the heavenly bodies stupefy even the imagination.
This lofty Omnipotence is foremost in mym thoughts, as I start writing the story of
my life.
I feel overwhelmed with joy at this opportunity to share the experiences in my life with my
friends.
I am lost in admiratiopn of that ordered pattern designed by the Divine Will at my birth.
That is unfolding itself with time,fulfilling every need of mine from that day onwards,
right through to the end of my days.
Such a pattern I share in common with every other living being.
I qwe a deep dept of gratitude to the world human society thatv has shaped me,supplying
commodities from distant and varied quarters for maintaining and enriching my life.
Ithank this blessed organisation from the bottom of my heart as I launch into this little
life sketch of mine.
I bow my head, as I start my writing, to the feet of everyone of my teachers who taught
me, each in his time, the rudiments of literacy, professional expertise, natural philosophy,
the regulations of an orderde life, realization of the Divine, and above all the highest of
spiritual disciplines.
Last, but not the least, as I set myself to write the events occured in my life, I bless
whole heartedly my two faithful companions over the years who have stood with me, rain
or shine, in close cooperation, waiting on me hand and foot, ministering to my comforts.
