For a brief time, I worked as a sales engineer selling pumps for a dealer of a multinational company. The dealer paid me only a little money but the nice thing was that he allowed me to work from the multinational company where I was given a desk.
Once I went to see a prospect to get a sales. I explained something and though this was during the beginning of severe depression and I worked terribly, I did manage to go and atleast give an explanation and quote for his requirement. I also had a lunch with my multinational company marketing manager at a nice hotel who started the lunch conversation by asking if I can tell a lie well. I was a very egoistic guy back then but still I was also principled and I was really not paying attention when he told me that I have to tell lies in sales. Anyway, after some time, I went back to the client and asked me if he wanted to order. He told me that he had already got the pumps from the head-office of the multinational company bypassing me and my company. So he had used my services without having to pay for it.
The above is not really a confession of my brave adventures in sales but rather to say something about the way God evaluates a person as well. A devotee can consciously try to explain to God his or her merit for his or her own satisfaction. God doesn't need any such proof because whether someone is a devotee or not, he or she is in the image of God. God is Bheejam Avyayam (Seed Imperishable).
When I was at my psychiatrist's clinic, he used an injection as I started talking. Okay...I knew that he was trying to get in to my sub-conscious but I let it be and I have no idea what all he got from what I said. But then he was a good doctor to whom I even entrusted my brain during ECT.
Even me landing up in the old forum looks like it was routed.
I told some time back that a parent doesn't really get impressed when his or her son or daughter makes a statement of love because it is twittered or facebooked. A parent knows it better in one of the most spontaneous moments of the child. This doesn't mean that the son or daughter shouldn't make gestures of love. This will bring the intentions into reality better.
So one can allow oneself to be as one is without any artificiality at any time one really feels like letting go.
