Wide Samparka with conviction in ourselvs, our mission and the people in the society is essential.
Eknathji tells us that those karyakarta, who devote their physical, mental and monetary resources, their time and also energy, for the purpose; they form the nucleus of the organisation. They have identified themselves with the organisation and they form the constituents of the same. It is they who attract the people and do the Lokasamgraha. They present to the public the ideology in a very nice and attractive manner and by their personality and devotion, pervade the place wherever they go, may be it is a village, a town, a metropolitan city, a college, a university or an institution.
Eknathji gives example of the fish of Manu which instantaneously occupied the container in which it was put, the devoted worker occupies the place. He keeps contact with all, speaks to all and convinces all. for him, there are only two categories of people (i) those who are convinced and converted and (ii) those who are in the process of conviction and conversion. He knows no failure. There are not any individuals inimical to him. He knows that his heart is ablaze with a mission and it is his pious and sacred duty to transmit the ideal to the people. For him every individual is a potential follower of his ideology. No person is to be rejected as useless, unworthy or inconvincible.
नाक्षरं मन्त्ररहितं न मूलमनौषधम् ।
अयोग्यः पुरुषः नास्ति योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः ॥
अयोग्यः पुरुषः नास्ति योजकस्तत्र दुर्लभः ॥
So no person is useless; if not today, tomorrow he will be convinced and if not for this work, for some other work his energy can be best utilised, but every person must be contacted and must be kept on the waiting list of prospective acceptances.
Eknathji says it "Sarvasamgrahaka Vritti", and explains that one must have an all inclusive aptitude. B'cuz it's a noble thought, it must have an appeal to every heart and it's going to convert man definitely. He must not be doubtful in his heart nor think of any failure. If the heart is blazing with a noble thought, it definitely has the capacity to kindle the hearts of others, however averse they may appear to be in the initial stage. One must have immense faith in oneself, unswerving faith in the mission that one has accepted and also the utmost faith in the people that they are always ready to revive a noble thought, and to act for it. Let's be one and do our duty perfectly well.
