A Junction in my Journey

Today I feel, I reached a junction in my spiral journey inside. I am just pouring out my thoughts now unstructured.
 
I feel so grateful for all the souls who joined my journey for whatever time, so came for moments, some with their wisdom, some with guidance, some with pure intention and love. Gratitude to all. I do not wish to bring names.
 
Today was my last Awakin at Urban Ashram, people came and they came with their hearts, to share their genuine love. I could sense it. Thanks to all who came. I had so secretly hoped to see them once before I leave but had left it universe with "जो à¤¹à¥‹à¤—ा à¤…च à¤¹à¥€ à¤¹à¥‹à¤—ा" and all the people who I hoped to meet, came. Rakesh bhai who came a little late, made it as well. Deep gratitude. What can a man really ask for? All we need is love, love is all we need. And I had plenty of it today. 
 
And people came with gifts. Wow. And how many? Not few but all combined it is one huge packet. I am still filled with awe. How can it happen? But when love is there, anything can happen. All sorts of gifts. chocolates, books, cards, clothes, potpourri, kids books, magic books, showpieces, decorations and MONEY!!! Wow!!! I just spread them all on the swing and watched them for sometime just feeling the energy.
 
But then a thought came, what do I do with all these? Answer:  Add some more stuff and pass all these on. :) So let it happen. Money came with a note: "- Included herewith is a little token to kick-start the love movement at your next destination"  And mind it, the humble word "little note" just shows the huge heartedness of giver, the amount is in no way little. Ill keep the new clothes and pass some of my others, cadburies will definitely be passed on, books some will go after reading in library, some directly, cards will be with me for at least some days, potpourri will be passed on, kids and magic books to kids, showpieces and decorations passed on. 
 
Wow! I cant believe it, one that so many people gifted me so many things, second Ashram made my scarcity with which I came so low and abundance so high, that the gifts have just become a medium to make me pass of happiness with love.
 
And guess what todays article was about love and that was what was flowing, all discussions, all seed questions for me answered through actions.
 
I want to write what I shared today because I want to relive it. :) "Love is when people come to Ashram for first time with trust because trust is among the first effects of love, love is when people put in so much hard work in soft skills and hard labour just to make people smile, when people share pure intention for welfare of others, when people leave their restaurants open trusting the customer is a form of god and will put in the right money, when someone willingly offers lift to any person walking, love is when people arrange stalls and events to make people both know and unknown SMILE, love is when people open up their home for random unknown people with the pure intention that they get some peace in this world of hurry and worry and very clear unspoken but felt intention,"भला à¤¹à¥‹ " of each and everyone coming and when all those people are just around you as they are, Love is always HERE and NOW. I was just seeing love in action once again today."
 
During cake time, I shared,"What I learnt here, was the impact of pure intention and love compared to the usual do this and dont do this, and how the earlier makes deep and long lasting impact"
 
A noble friend said, " We did not give anything but Divya and Harsh just did all these things" I was once shocked, Did not give ???? Maybe truly all that can be counted does not matter, but what was given maybe not countable, but does matter.
 
Truly I have a family and home here. No formality, no words also needed, the heart knows everything. :)

In gratitude.
