A clerk in the education department, in such a situation, was sought after by his superiors with deferential attention. This clerk, who came by chance into contact with his colleague who was seeking spiritual solace, discovered that his friend was doing something unusual. Knowing his friend to be genuinely interested in learning about invoking the Spirit, he shared his sacred trust. The clerk found he was in the process of an inner efflorescence. The next day he received such a warm welcome at the office, which he had never been used to. He was constantly courted. His boss came to know something was going on and sent for the clerk. The boss, usually a glum old man on the verge of retirement, glowed with a ray of brightness in his countenance and behaved just as his other colleagues had behaved. To the clerk, it was heaven descending on earth. In a week, everyone started calling him 'Divine'. News came from the regional head who was in the same premises that the clerk was wanted there. There too the same welcome awaited him. "Whenever you have some time to spare, please come here and spend some time", were words the clerk could not believe came from this superior officer. It is not easy to lose one's inner balance on such an occasion. Everything can be recognised, received with a steady idea that that is not final. At the end, the Spirit will play a magnificent role. The boy in 40th rank will find himself in the first rank, as one actually did.
Inner unsteadiness shows we are still on the way. When there is no urge inside to avail of the outer reward, we know we have arrived. As long as we are concentrated on establishing the Spirit inside, these vacillations will not arise as all the energy is required here.
