ished!!!” However, the saint was in such ecstasy, he was so
impassioned with the words that were effortlessly flowing
from his mouth, that he seemed not to even notice the
signs.
At first the organizers were noticeably restless and anxious.
After all, there were so many other people to speak,
so many other segments of this important function. How
to get this saint to step down from the podium? However,
as he continued, his words were like a lullaby. Even the
anxious organizers became still and peaceful, mesmerized
by the quality of his words and his tone. The hall - filled
with an audience of thousands - was as quiet as if it were
empty. Dadaji spoke for 25 minutes, an unprecedented
amount of time.
When he concluded, the silence of the auditorium broke
like thunder into a clamorous standing ovation. No one who
was present was unchanged. The saint’s words had reached
not only minds, not only hearts, but also souls. He was
flooded with accolades and tear-streaked faces as he descended
from the stage. “Oh Dadaji, your speech was incredible.
So inspiring. So uplifting. It was just wonderful.”
Everyone wanted to praise this elderly yet seemingly
ageless Indian saint. After one man took Dadaji’s hands
and gave particularly effusive praise, the saint looked
sweetly into his eyes and replied, “Yes, it was wonderful. I
was also listening.”
“I was also listening.” “I was also listening.” This should
be our mantra. For, it is not we who speak. It is He who
speaks, although we like to take the credit. How easy it
would have been for Dadaji to have simply replied, “Oh,
yes, I know my speech was good. I spent days preparing
it.” Or “Yes. I’m a very good speaker, aren’t I?” However,
he is a true man of God. He knows from where his words
come. He knows whose words flow through his mouth.
Those who are the true inspirations, who are the true teachers
of this world, are actually simply channels. They are
not the ones who spend lifetimes refining their tenaciously
held beliefs and then impose these upon others. Rather,
they simply open up the channels inside them and let God
flow into their hearts and through their mouths or their
pens. We are all here as tools for His work, as expressions
of His love. Let us realize that; let us break the dams within
us, so the river of His work and His message can flow ceaselessly
through us.
