Funds is not the problem

It is a common argument that without money nothing can be done. We need money for doing anything and every thing in this world. So it was not a surprise that during one of our trust preparation meetings, question of money or funding was raised. Most of the would be trustee members were very apprehensive regarding this monetary part of the project called Sandnya Sanwardhan Sanstha. When I said we should not take government's financial aid, than most of the members were not very much convinced about this approach. The prompt question came up was " where from funds will come?". I said, initially to start with, all trustee members will contribute a certain amount and we shall initiate the work. Then we shall begin approaching our social net work individually and shall seek financial help for this work. The next question came up was, to how many people we could contact and can we ask donations from the same person again and again? To this I said, in first faze, we will be talking to our first contact who can be a relative or Friend also who has faith in us. When we finish with this, we shall try to reach second level extended contact. I said, in my opinion, by this time our work, sincerity, honesty and consistency should start generating funds from unknown quarters. Most of my co- members did not get convinced with this justification but since I was the most vocal member and was already leading from the front, others had no choice and the proposal was unanimously passed. But whatever I was saying I truly believed in to it and had no doubt about its success. In consecutive meetings, one of the members raised the doubt that why should the same people pay repeatedly? I said, it is like going to a temple. All of us go to temples and bow before the deity and then before leaving, surrender offerings as per our capacity. And we do all this for the whole of our life and for number of times. Are we not doing all these things repeatedly? But than what makes us do this? It is the faith which compels us to do this. Similarly, if our work is for the needy, if it is done selflessly, if it is done with sincerity, honesty and with consistency, than people will have faith in you and your work and they will support you morally and financially as well. The daunting task is to create this faith in the minds of people at large and the rest will be done by the All Mighty God. If I truly believe that, every thing is being done by the God I am only the medium to execute the will of the God, than things will happen the way they are suppose to. As I said earlier, my other members did not argue and we started working with out government aid. In due course of time we got good response from all people. We kept our promise of transparency, honesty, consistency and selfless attitude through all these years and people in turn continued to support us with more and more trust. I knew and I realise that earning the trust is a slow process and is like building a house by putting brick on brick and shall always take time and curing as well. So we did this meticulously and with full faith in the universal statement that " if you desire some thing sincerely from the bottom of your heart selflessly, than the whole universe conspires to see that your desire is fulfilled". How true it is? I have always experienced this, and that is why getting funds or desired manpower is never a problem. The work of Sandnya Sanwardhan Sanstha has never suffered for lack of funds. Whenever, we have desired any thing sincerely and genuinely than God has always arranged through some or the other means.
