My Demeanor before meeting THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM: Intensity with Irritation

I think I have been quite an intense person all my life. But there was also some kind of constant urgency that I seemed to want to get done with whatever I started that very minute. Somehow I never made the time to stop and smell the roses. I worked very hard and somehow could not understand why others did not want to do so. A major source of irritation to me at work or even off-work was why people could not focus and get things done. I think this was nothing but ego. The sense of urgency was somehow related to the early death of my father. I somehow seemed to think time is running out and I needed to get things done now! If I sit back and analyze this, I realize there is no need for this. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM taught us to be intense at the same time not to be clutched to the goal. Even in the early days of the mission I would often get irritated as to why certain things could not get done in a timely manner.
