Thank You

Too often I progress through the ‘ropes of life,’ and do not invest the time to express my gratitude for the support you so eagerly shared for my growth, as not only a student but also as citizen of society.

Amidst the chaos and difficulties life is presenting to me each day I stand strong prepared for the challenges of the next day, thanking you.

You promoted an environment where I felt like I was able to not only share my contribution, but also know it is actually considered and appreciated. You shaped my right and wrong, your stories and experiences have enlightened me about the great possibilities the world holds for us.

I am currently reading My Gita by Devdutt Pattanaik in which he highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships and the ways of life.

‘Arjuna, people worship limited deities, limited as they are by their nature and their yearnings. From me comes their faith. From me comes fulfilment of their faith. The restricted stay restrained. Those who shatter the boundries discover me: the limitless.’

-Bhagavad Gita

Chapter 7, verses 20 to23(paraphrased)

My urge to find a single objective truth made me realise that you are the limitless. You are my guru.

I respect and love you for all that you are and all that you have given me.
