On the day we are born into this world, we come with a blank slate. We don't possess any knowledge of languages like Hindi, English, Gujarati, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, or any other. Our ability to communicate and understand languages is developed over time through learning and exposure.
Similarly, as newborns, we don't possess any specific skills such as writing, reading, speaking, playing an instrument, or any other talent. These skills are acquired and honed through education, practice, and guidance from parents, teachers, and mentors.
Furthermore, we are not born with an inherent understanding of numbers, calculations, or any scientific concepts. Our comprehension of mathematics, science, technology, and other subjects grows as we receive formal education and learn from experienced individuals who impart their knowledge to us.
Additionally, the values, habits, attitudes, and moral principles that shape our character are not innate. We learn how to respect our elders, be honest, worship, and show gratitude through teachings from our parents, teachers, and spiritual guides. They instil in us the importance of these values and help us develop them as we grow.
It is crucial to remember that our knowledge and skills do not belong to us alone. We are indebted to our parents, teachers, and gurus who have selflessly shared their wisdom and guided us along our journey. We should always remain humble and grateful for the opportunities they have provided us.
Just as a sculptor moulds a raw stone into a beautiful statue, our gurus shape our lives, character, and attitudes. They deserve the credit for transforming us into the individuals we become.
Therefore, it is our responsibility to pay tribute to our teachers and gurus. We can do so by utilizing our knowledge and skills for the betterment of society and the service of mankind. By spreading the good values and teachings we have received, we honour our gurus and contribute to their mission.
In order to replace the ego associated with our knowledge and skills, we should cultivate a mindset of gratitude. Rather than seeking personal credit and validation, we must express gratitude to our gurus and teachers for their invaluable contributions to our growth.
To show our appreciation, one meaningful gesture is to write a "Gratitude Note" to our beloved teachers and gurus. Although they may not require it, the act of writing allows us to reflect on the knowledge and education we have received and recognize that we are not the sole owners of these gifts.
Let us strive to be ego-free, humble, and grateful to our teachers and gurus. As we utilize our knowledge and skills, let us focus on serving humanity and making a positive impact. By doing so, we pay true tribute and royalty to our gurus.
In conclusion, I encourage all my dear students to embrace humility and gratitude. Let us recognize the profound influence our teachers and gurus have had on our lives and honour them by using our knowledge and skills for the betterment of humanity. Thank you, and Jay Swaminarayan.
