‘People are often unreasonable and self centred .Forgive them any way, if you are kind people may accuse you of your ulterior motives, Be kind any way. If you are honest people may cheat you. Be honest any way , If you find happiness people may be jealous , Be happy any way ,The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow , Do good any way , Give the world the best you have and it never be enough , give your best any way , For you see in the end it is between you and God , It was never between you and them any way ‘ Mother Teresa South East Asia is a land of spirituality and spiritual leader’s .The people here are very emotional and impassioned. Spirituality leads us to the path of morality, wisdom and meditation and encourages us to live a life of modesty and compassion. Spirituality gives us the freedom from suffering, pain and lust. That is why I have chosen the path of spirituality which is the road to build a constructional life and the road to honesty.
From my childhood I had a dream to become an electrical engineer. My dream came into reality when I got my admission in Texas A & M university .After finishing my bachelors degree I started to work for Nokia Inc as a young systems engineer .My life was busy with the integration and test of different telecom components and machines like SGSN and GGSN .While working there I also continued the program for executive MBA. I had a normal life like any telecom graduate, travelling for business projects; living a trendy life. Deep Inside me there was always emptiness, a quest of philosophy, who I am, where do I belong and what is my existence for?
I did not know any of these answers until I met an exceptional person in Bangladesh in 2005. He had the unique knowledge of spirituality and we had a long discussion about drama of philosophy. I had been watching how he was helping lot of people, giving them the knowledge of enlightened life. This incident made a great impact in my life, but still I was not satisfied.
One day I was in my solitude and it was almost midnight, all was quiet and serene. Suddenly I saw a white spark of a light in front of me. It was a miracle and I was not afraid at all. I was very stiff and determined to see the movement of light. It was falling on my body and moving away, I heard a whisper in my ear ‘Be the light and enlighten the world with this light. ‘I looked in front of me and the light diminished away. I have found my answers; I have found my inner self, my peace and the gift of God ,loving God is loving his creation and we only live in this world through our good deeds and this is the only way we can be immortal .I will dedicate my life by loving all the creation , helping the one that needs help , wiping the tears from the distressed .This is the reason I am on this earth and this is my destiny.
