| Realization of shortcoming followed by immediate
inspiration to increase repeating (chanting*) The Lord’s
Name at work
One day at work, a few weeks ago, my repetition (chanting) of
The Lord’s Name was occurring continuously for two to three
hours. I was also able to pray regularly. As a result, I was experiencing
a different kind of happiness. One student got annoyed with me
when I asked him to follow occupational health and safety procedures
in the computer laboratory. Immediately I called our manager, since
I felt that the student was becoming confrontational. The student
complained to the manager that I was rude and biased. Immediately
I reacted and said that the student was lying. However, I reviewed
the whole incident and realized that I should overcome the shortcoming
of getting annoyed easily and reacting in such situations. I paid
gratitude to H. H.
Dr. Jayant Athavale for showing me my shortcoming.
When I returned back from lunch break, my manager was waiting for
me. He said that after the student left, other students said that
I did not use any offensive language, and I am always polite to
all students. He said that if you are good to others and repeat
God's Name, God would help you. This encouraged me to repeat (chant)
The Lord’s Name more at work, as I felt that it creates protective
shield around me.
