Who am I ?
It is a common feature in our life that whenever we come in contact with a person a question is raised about making him or her aware of my identity. But what is this identity?
Take my example.If I say " I am Tarashis Gangopadhyay,the descendant of Bhagwan Gangopadhyay,the Guruji of respected Loknath Baba,is it my identity?"No,this is not. If I say,"I am the disciple and son of Sri Bipul Kumar Gangopadhyay,the author of so many books and a well known guru",is it my identity?No,it is not. All these are the advantages which came to me for this birth.My identity is my work.
But even then,if I say,"I am the author of 17 spiritual books then will it be my identity?"No,it will be my pride. My identity is not my boasting as these works are all done by my Lord Gopala and he used me as a pen for this works.My identity is my sadhna.
I am not Tarashis Gangopadhyay,a name.I am part and parcel of the divine soul.I had so many names in the prevous births.But do I remember them?No.After the death of this body,this name will also be forgotten.What will stay then?Nothing other than my work.
God has given me some responsibilities as also to others to fulfill in this world.So we should carry them out.This divine purpose is my identity.No matter,how many people love me/envy me/hate me for my spiritual works,it is the spiritual benefit of my readers which they feel from reading my books -that is my divine purpose.I am born for this - I am born to share my experiences with all those who love divine light so that they will find a friend and philosopher in me under the guidance of my God..I will do my utmost to help them - that is my objective of life.I am just a soul who is travelling to the path of God wearing this name and a body of flesh and blood.
All are welcome to my heart.I am not limited by any religion,not limited by any dogmas,not limited by any class distinction.All souls are equal to me.But I will held the hand of only those who loves God and seeks Him from the deepest bottom of their heart.I will help them to move forward,as per my little strength,that was showered upon me.If I can fulfill their purpose,my purpose will be automatically served.
A day will come when there will be no Tarashis Gangopadhyay,but the soul will be there who at present reside in this body of clay and mud and he will carry on the mantle which this name will leave after the death of the body.I am the atman,the part and parcel of the Supreme parmatman moving to be one with Him in all respect and also to help others also in this purpose.That is me.
