HE has to SANCTIONWe may make plans, we may commit, we might put our whole hearted effort, we may try to implement our wills, we may try to execute our plans but ultimately is it in our hand?, NO. There is an ultimate controller who ultimately sanctions our will and our work.I was about to take a video interview of a devotee on certain topics of spirituality. The topics were handed over to her before a week itself. She had made notes and thoroughly prepared from her side. I charged the camera battery a previous day, formatted the 8 GB card to create space, prepared the tripod, mics etc for the next day morning assignment.Next day, we decided to take a shot on terrace at about 12 noon. Postponing our prasad we went for shooting, the proper place was selected for shooting, the tripod was set up, camera was set up, mics were fixed and video was shot quiet nicely, for the three different topics. I was quiet joyous that some service was rendered.When I came back home and uploaded the video for editing, I found that voice is extremely low, quiet inaudible, most probably the mic was not properly fit in the camera, the whole effort got wasted. The devotee was prepared, she spoke in the hot sun, I shot the video in hot sun, we even postponed our prasad but the result - a big ZERO. Now what was missing in the entire service?The preparation was proper, the intention was good, the perseverance was there, hard work was there, proper set up was there, BUT one most important thing that was missing was the SANCTION of the Lord. We might be very accurate in our commitments, in our service but ultimately it is the sanction of the Lord that makes the service beautiful, worth and commendable.By Ashish KumarICC Bangalore
