My Journey To Songadh
Ashram
''Let me be shown your virtuous path;
Enlighten me, my ignorance cure;
Under a dark cloud I badly sinned;
Drive it off to clear the sky, my Good Wind;
Again I beg to make me pure;
The smoke of ill will darkens the light;
The oil of good will burns it bright;
For my salvation from lurking lure."
......Shree
Sumatinath....
How
quickly!
Though
it's a bit tough nut to express one's feelings, sentiments and experience in
form of words, but whenever spontaneous feelings gets overjoyed and rejoiced it
becomes one's duty to let others know about one's feelings. Beginning with my
experience which I had before one year. Just
cherishing my experience. It's really a surprising moment for me that I am
going to complete one year as an English teacher at ‘Shree Mahaveer Jain
Charitra kaliyan Ratnashram.’ Hence, it’s really an astonishing moment as
sometime I think that I have just joined this school just a moment before. How
quickly the time flied! It is faster than Jio 4g. Really, how quick it is! I
will complete one year as a teacher by working on this holy
Place
of education. So Many things I have learned and so many I have to learn. The
process of “Learning" will never end as earning while learning seems
worthy but the process of earning had commenced with the sudden call. The story
is like this:
After
having my master degree Last year I had given applications in many schools and
colleges but they were busy in the celebration of Diwali. I was like a '
Berojgar Person'
(Unemployed)
as many people of India don't have a single job to earn bread and butter. 'No
job' 'No Money' and’ No Idea' what to do now. I had been working in one private
sector for 5 years minimum, at Bhajan Weigh Bridge' in Ghanghali, Sihor. But
the
Best
moment of my life came when my mobile ranged. As I was doing my
Work
at Weigh Bridge. It was 11.34 o'clock and the date was 19 Dec
2015
and unexpectedly there was a call from unknown number. The conversation was
like
this:
Hello!
Is there Vinod Rabhadiya?
Yes,,
I said.
Did
you apply for a teacher's job?
Yes,
I said.
Will
you come on Sunday for an interview?
Yes,
Sir. I replied.
Frequently
uttering ' Yes' expressed and eked my nervousness. Then my interview was taken
to assess and measure my teaching skills and it was good and finally thought
that I would be part of this
Institution
as well. As far as my selection is concerned for the job of teacher being an
English faculty my inquisitiveness increases to tell something about the
experience of my first day in school.
Surely
that was an exaggeration of feelings which took me very early to the
Doorsteps
at school because gradually the time of school was 8.30 and my emancipated
reaching was before 7.30. On the very first day of my school i was having
baffled nd riddled turmoil in my mind that from Where to start? From When
to start and How to start?
But,
when I entered in this institution I saw idols of two great
Saints,
Kalyan Bapa and Charitra Bapa. Whenever I see them the spark
Comes
out in my body and I become more vigorous and enthusiastic than I am. Moreover,
The
Atmosphere
around the Ashram makes me so confidential and zealous in teaching
And
at any moment I don't have a feeling to be alone or to have myself in solitude
even though i don't feel as a new comer too.
My
utterance and vocalized feelings comes from the corner of my heart for this
place:
"ભરી લો શ્વાસ માં એની સુગંધનો દરિયો પછી આ
માટીની ભીની અસર મળે નાં મળે”
.....આદીલ મન્સૂરી.....
Slowly
and steadily I became an intact nd integral part of it in the tenure of one
staff
members and all who are the part of this school as well. With the
blessing of two great monks, Grace of Almighty and wishes of my well-wishers i
got an opportunity to work on this holy soil
Of
education. Its only the beginning for me because
“Miles to go before I sleep"
....Robert
Frost....
I believe myself as a lucky person because I got a chance to work here where the surrounding makes me feel emancipate from contamination.
" All my sins off to wash;
At your holy home I pause;
You of all are the cause"
....Shree
Vasupujyaswami...
