Secret of Staying Motivated

Conversation between Guru and Shishya

Shishya: My question to you is, that in today's generation. People think that Sadhus, saints are fraud but sir what my question is still you manage to motivate thousand and crores of people worldwide. What keep you motivated?

(Nice question)…….

Guru: Do you find me as fraud?

Shishya: “Not at all Guru”

Guru: I am a simple and small person in Sanskrit there is verse which says,

         Mukam Karoti Vachalam

Even a Dumb man can speak,

     Panghum Lagayate girim

Even a lame man can cross the mountain,

     Yati Kripa tam a ham vande

     Shri gurum dina tarinam

 It is by the grace of Shri Guru and god that one can do what we are doing and therefore if you ask me what is my motivation to keep going? I don't even think that I'm inspiring millions or corers as you said,  people are watching and people are hearing it is not my  knowledge, it is the knowledge coming from the god, it is the knowledge coming from the my Guru, and so many other monks in the monastery from whom I learn. I simply act as the microphone. A microphone simply an amplifier the voice of a speakers. So if there is something that's motivating the people it’s not me .It’s a knowledge and the power of that grace, that is the behind me, which is unseen to your eyes. You can't see that but that's life that I live. When you don't see me on the screen. I am in a monastery, in a small litter room .Every morning practicing my Spiritual sadhana, every morning connecting to god through the chanting the holy names. Every morning I sit and listen to the other Monks. I am not only  speaking I  sit there, I hear  others, I learn from them ,I am tremendously inspired by the picture that I showed you Srila Prabhupad, his life. I am tremendously inspired by his example and my Guru, who tirelessly keep on going and serving. If there is anything that motivates me, it's my chanting, it's my hearing and company of my guru and other like-minded monks, that's so what keeps me going so if you have that company you will also be able to do.
