Changing The World

Recently, it has been made very clear to me that I have played a major role in changing the lives of other people.  Some were heroin users that have stopped using and others were non-addicts who are now more “awake”.  Additionally, they have all changed their attitudes and behaviors dramatically.  One thing that is very important for me to realize is that it really was not me that caused the change at all, that I was only the most proximate instrument.  In reality, it is like N. Maharaj says, that no event in life has a single cause, that everything in the universe cooperates in producing the change.  It is also very important for me to realize, that I stayed open, listened and did the next right thing, no minor accomplishment.
