Dear Shri Ganapathyji A really touching article. I would like to say a few lines on this and if I am wrong, please correct me . The young executive in this article is definitely a God fearing gentleman and that is why he could take this incident as an eye opener and consider the same as a whisper of God. For common people like us, we cannot see HIM with our naked eyes, but HE always gives signals to us when we are wrong and I think this is called indusion. Normally peoplel say "does his conscious not prick" when he did something wrong. I think this conscious itself is GOD. But many give a deaf ear to this signal of God and end up commiting wrong things which give trouble to the entire mankind. "If only we could hear HIS whisper", But for this as detailed in earlier articles of

Ganapathyji , Gopalakrishnanji etc., one has to continuously chant HIS name which will purify the mind which in turn will teach him to love everyone and stop doing anything which willl harm others as harming others is equal to hurting God Himself. According to me, another lesson we should learn from this is ' ensure that whatever we do for our pleasure does not end up as sorrow for others".
