Harnessing the Heart

Dear Reader, in this series, we offer you real life stories from contemporary heroes who have demonstrated the courage to follow their conscience when confronted with difficult dilemmas or challenging circumstances in their daily lives. This segment is an ode to the strength of the brave-hearts who chose to listen to the voice of their conscience, thereby abiding to the values of Right Conduct, Truth, Love, Peace and Non-violence, even if the choice appeared the tougher one to follow.
In the previous issues, we brought you the experience of Mrs. Priya Davis, a former student of Bhagavan’s University, who did not give in to the unjust demands of her boss, followed her Heart and at the end found herself vindicated in every respect. Then there was the gripping story of Mr. Dev Taneja, a Sai devotee from Canada who was faced with the dilemma of furthering his goal of professional and financial growth or foregoing his personal ambition in favour of his family responsibilities as the oldest male member of his family.
In this issue, another alumnus of the Sri Sathya Sai University, Mr. C. B. S. Mani shares how the final benediction he received during the Convocation from his Divine Alma Mater influenced his choices as a conscientious manager in corporate India, in an environment where moral and ethical codes can be flexed for convenience and temptations abound in various forms, and also how he made his best career move ever by adhering to the tried, tested and true teachings of Bhagavan Baba: Sathyam Vada, Dharmam Chara, meaning “I shall speak the Truth and tread upon the path of Righteousness”.
