FROM INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TO TRANSFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Yes, this was the title in one of the religious discourses that I had attended recently. Before attending the discourse, I was confused as to what actually the title meant! Was it about the latest Hardware Technology or was it about Science and Technology news or was it about Technology tips and Tricks? I was flooded with hundred such questions before attending the discourse. But once I attended, I was enlightened!
To my surprise, the discourse was about how to keep our mind calm and how to transform to a serene state. A large number of curious people like me had come to actually catch a glimpse of what the lecture was all about! The lecture given by a guruji was par excellent. Quotes from the bhagavat gita were read to make the session more spiritual. As the saying goes, Philosophy does not last for ever, neither does bathing! That’s exactly what happened at the discourse. When the guruji spoke about the topic, it was so nice to hear. But once we went to our homes, all that we heard had gone! Why? Because, we had only heard and had not made efforts to actually practice whatever he had said! That is often the case that occurs in our classrooms also. If only people paid more attention to what he had said, surely we would have been transformed by now!
A number of such religious discourses are being held regularly to inculcate some good thoughts into young minds. But the people who actually turn up are above 60! No youth is actually interested to listen to such topics. The topic may sound interesting, but they feel the discourse isn’t!
