My Resume



               “Guruji, I want to start working.” I told Guruji the
          day I finished my studies. Since Guruji had forbidden
          me  to  pursue  my  dream  of  becoming  a  clinical
          psychologist, citing the reason that it was a subject for
          the  crazy,  I  picked  up  an  alternative  line  in  Interior
          designing.  I  understood  why  he  was  discouraging  me
          from  studying psychology.  I  remembered  a  few  of  my
          past lives and Guruji didn't want me to go deeper into
          it.  It's  not  that  Psychology  is  a  subject  for  the  crazy;
          probably I would have gone crazy delving too deep into
          my past.

               Assuming he didn't hear me, I repeated my request,
          Guruji I would like to start working now”, I said. “No. I
          don't want you to work just yet.” “But why?” I pleaded.
          With  a  very  stern  look  on  his  face  he  told  me  not  to
          question  his  decision.  I  got  involved  with  seva  at  the
          temple and the thought of working never came up until
          2005.  I  saw  all  my friends  were  earning  well  and  had
          great  jobs  by  then  and  it  hurt  me  to  see  I  hadn't
          progressed. In 2005 Guruji finally started talking about
          my working. He would send me to go give interviews in
          Delhi and asked me to come straight back give to him
          feedback.  Each  time  I  gave  him  a  feedback  he  would
          take  out  some  point  and  told  me  to  disregard  the  job
          completely. This kept going on till one day he asked me
          to bring my resume. I got my resume typed and I felt
          ashamed  at  having  to  give  it  to  him  since  it  was  only
