Testimonial
of Gaurav Sahni
(CEO, IT Company - Attended the 'Ultimate AHAH' one-on-one
sessions)
|
|
"Dawn
of 2009, I was atop my favourite mountain, Raigad. Lying
awake in my sleeping bag, looking at the brilliant display
of nature in the sky above me, I was ruminating over the
mess my life has become.
Successful
CEO of an IT company but extremely unhappy due to marriage
on the brink and the relationship, which in the first place
caused the marriage to get ruined, also gone sour. In this
vast universe I had a very lonely & defeated feeling. I
felt that if I was to fall off this precipice, no one would
miss me. I remembered the urchin whom I gave dinner last
night and a strange realization gripped me. Being unwanted,
unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I was in a
much greater poverty than him.
Here
I was, searching for answers in that vast expanse of sky
above me, whipping myself for all the misdeeds and blaming
the two women for ruining my life. My desire to live had
waned.

THE
|
|
As the
old adage goes, when the student is ready, the teacher arrives.
God, who must have been watching the whole drama, brought
me to meet Poonam, to show me the light. It was a series
of mere coincidence that I met her. She whipped me much
more than what I had done myself, but for a different cause.
She drilled into me that it is okay to do a mistake, it
is okay to get hurt, it is okay to feel unloved by others,
but it is NOT okay to not love yourself. I was taught how
to lift myself by myself. It was not a narcissistic approach
that you are the God's gift to mankind so feel proud. It
was more of acknowledging the mistake, forgiving others
for their deeds, closing hurtful relationships and inculcating
a firm belief that every pain on the way is God's way of
sculpturing a better human being. Her teaching was, don't
be a saint. If someone has hurt you, tell him, scream at
him, be angry with him, if possible whack him but don't
carry hatred. It is not possible to create a happy life
if you are carrying hatred inside you. Live everyday as
if Buddha has come to stay inside you. Don't let anyone
hurt him i.e. you.

ULTIMATE
|
Poonam
taught me that as long as the intention is good, walls
can be broken and nectar of life can flow through your
veins making each day a wonderful day, each moment a worth-living
moment.
A
corporate person like me, who only understands logic,
facts & conclusions, took time to understand and align
with 'intentions'. After almost three years, I am once
again beginning to go to bed or get out of it with a smile
on my lips. Today I look back at the day gone by and feel
rejuvenated.

AHAH

Today
I look at a new day rising and am anxious to fill it with
joy. The positive intentions got carried through the universal
system to dear wife who is suddenly feeling very warm and
is also expressing it, something which has not happened
for last three years. What is in store for tomorrow, God
knows. But this young man of 50, filled to the brim with
negative emotions & hatred for everyone has suddenly found
words like Joyous, Intentions, Desire in his vocabulary
and is intoxicated on positive energy."
