Dear Bhante

I have had many experiences that have kept me in awe with the law of attraction. However this one tops it all. I have been grappling with getting through with all my minor corrections on my Phd thesis. I defended my thesis successfully last July. However, my examiners had not signed off on all my corrections. This is a nagging problem and all along I was resisting this experience. I just kept wishing that they just sign off as I had done everything I could to fix all of what they had said I should. One Monday morning I woke up and decided to take the day off. I had taught all day Sunday and so I thought that this was a deserved break for me.

That morning it occurred to me that I was actually resisting something and focusing on the negative. I then thought to myself, there must be something wrong that I am doing here. This was a fleeting thought which quickly vanished. I then went to the book store and as soon as I entered the store, I saw this DVD – The Secret Behind The Secret. I bought the DVD and told myself, this will be a good way to spend the day. So I went back home and watched all the three episodes on the DVD. This DVD has Esther and Jerry in conversation with an interviewer. The first episode is about how Jerry and Esther came to Abraham and the next two episodes is Abraham speaking to the interviewer. I had tears in my eyes when I watched this. It was immediately apparent to me that my resistance to the Phd was the energy I was creating. I immediately opened a word document and Typed – Dr. Jayanth Narayanan (PhD, Name of my school) a few times. I felt truly and fully accomplished. I let the feeling of culmination of all those years of hard work come to fruition and felt grateful for having the opportunity to be able to engage in my studies. I felt so relieved and grateful and joyous at this time. After watching this, I took a quick break and had a cup of tea. By this time it was 4:00 PM in Singapore .

I logged back on my mail at about 4:30 PM. NOW, as soon as I logged on, there was a mail from the PhD programme office of my school in London (first thing Monday morning for them ie. 9:30 am). The mail said – “Congratulations. All your corrections to the theses have been approved. You will now receive the degree at the congregation in July”. I was awe-struck, but not surprised!! I was deeply grateful to the universe for taking care of me. I felt completely protected and taken care of. I am truly grateful for everything that is a part of my life.

Thank you Bhante from the bottom of my heart for being the guiding light that brought such a wonderful principle of life and the universe to my attention (or is it attraction!!).

In Gratitude

Dr. Jay J
