Who is your catalyst?

Sometime back, someone told us a story of Hanuman and how he was reminded by Jambavant that he could fly.

Hanuman is the son of  Anjani, (who had been cursed  into a female  monkey) and Vayu – the wind god, his father from who he received the ability to fly.

He was a naughty monkey god, in his childhood. He used his powers to pester the saints, create whirlwinds, pulling a supporting stick with his tail, pulling a beard and messing with sacred fire. All the gods prayed to Brahma to find a solution. To protect the world, he was cursed & that’s how his knowledge of powers was removed. But at the right time, he was reminded of his powers by Jambavant who acts as a Catalyst and how he does extraordinary things for Lord Ram.

The whole point of explaining all these is to stamp on the fact that the power lies within us. All of us are good at something or other. We need to figure the right thing for us. There might be a catalyst in our life. But just by waiting for that person to come along and make us realize us that we are good enough will not help our cause.

So be the catalyst for yourself and and act upon it.
