Today, I experienced first hand public speaking about a valid and genuine topic about the Bhagvad Geeta. It would almost be incorrect to say it was an uplifting experience only. It was the commencement of understanding and applying this transcendental knowledge to the choices I make in life. The speech I delivered was primitive and covered only the surfaces of the deeper meanings. Am I disappointed with myself for this? No, not for the fact that I actually enabled myself to produce at least a few words of what I believe and what I feel. If there is a slight wish, it is for next year to bring me the topic in time and for me to realize that this is my opportunity to explore the Geeta further and create a seamless future where I practice what I preach. And I hope that this is the first of many such opportunities in my life where I can compete to conquer myself and do so in full Krishna consciousness without the expectations of any fruitive results since the eternal destination is Krishna Himself.
With these thoughts,
I bid you farewell for now,
-D.P.
