THE MASSIVE MOUNTAIN

“Thoughts becomes things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand”, said Bob Proctor, a renowned success coach.

It was one fine sunday morning 6.30am, My kid was fast asleep and  I was reading. I was deeply engrossed in the book. the line I read – “Burnt and crust pan”. The moment that I read. “Burnt and crusty pan”. There was a burning smell hitting my nose. A sense of awe struck me, There was a spark. I rushed to the kitchen. Just to put off The flame, just to put off the boiling milk that went burnt and crusty. Yes, all your guesses are right, I was holding a burnt and a crusty pan that i did see in my mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. Today I am here to discuss with you my experience with manifestation.

Have you ever manifested? Yes. <Audience A >Can you share your experience about manifestation?

<Audience responded>

Yes, exactly. So today I am going to speak about three things. If you see, now three things are going to be handled in this interview:

1. What is manifestation?

2. How should we manifest?

3. Why should we manifest?

So the next few minutes is going to be about manifestation. And these three points are going to be covered.

Getting to What is manifestation? Manifestation is something as our beloved DTM Sudeesh was mentioning,

It is a technique of making your dreams come true.
It is a technique of bringing your desires into reality.
It is a technique of transforming your wishes into achievements by believing on it; by focusing on your thoughts, actions and feelings on achieving it.

But This is a wild explanation, isn’t it?. I am going to relate this with my experience. Not with the burnt and crusty  but with a massive mountain.

Months back, My friend,  RPriya was expressing her small byte sized spiritual awakening that she had  during the  glorious walk around the massive mountain on a full moon day. Do Anyone know the word that we call for a spiritual walk around a mountain on a full moon day ?

yeah we do call it as Girivalam in Tamil and The massive mountain that I refer here is Thiruvanamalai. For those who are not aware, Thiruvanamalai is a prominent, pilgrimage destination at Tamil Nadu. It is known for Annamalaiyar Temple and the massive mountain Annamalai.

Till June 2025 I neither had the time nor the energy to think about this glorious path. As you all know, we juggle. shuttle between the cities, breath between the sprints, juggle the work and life.

At the onset of June 2025 – There was a thought, why dont we go for a glorious walk?
ohoooo the full moon day falls on June 10 , Tuesday – its a working day- Definitely impossible.
We have office, we have meetings, we have schools and everything going on.
This thought went down . But again 2 or 3 days before June 10 it surges up about massive mountain.
I just called my fried Rpriya and asked if she could accompany.
To give you a history about myself and my friend  – Rpriya  & I have never been successful on attending any event. Either the event gets cancelled or we drop the plan just at the last moment. This is the cumulative energy we hold.
But still I did not mind that and wanted to manifest my desire of going round the massive mountain.
So thats what manifestation – We bring our desire into reality.

Now we are done with what is manifesting. Let us move on to how should we manifest.
Does anybody have any idea on how should we manifest?
<Ask anyone on how should we manifest ?>
<Address their points as it is assisting / denying your idea or fact>
So how should we manifest? This is a three-step process:

1. Express your desire. Did you have ever express your desire to anyone?
<Let audience speak>
Express your desire. Ask for what you really want. This is the first step.
2. Your thoughts, your actions, and your feelings. Every one of these three should align with your desire.
3. Be ruthless in believing that this is going to happen.

<People may interrupt you denying or accepting the fact. Try to address them soon or suggest catching them for an offline or discussion during TEA>

First thing, I did express my desire to my Friend that I am willing to go for a glorious walk. Thats the ask. And as I said, we have never been successful throughout the years of our friendship. I didn’t have any response from her. But still, I had that grounded understanding. I had a grounded belief that this will come true. I didn’t want to pester her. Just in one day in between, I was not ready to call her but  texted her.   “Hi RPriya, I manifest that we go on a glorious walk around that massive mountain on Tuesday, on a full moon, with peace, gratitude, and happiness with our Annamalaiyar’s blessings.”
But still, I didn’t get a message.

Pay attention here. My second one, my actions were inclined with my desire. I didn’t ask- Are you okay with it? I didn’t ask any kind of questions. I told her that I still believe that we are going on a glorious walk. Yet I didn’t get any response. But still, I believed that it is going to happen and continued to be happy.

So, that is what  – the ruthless understanding, ruthless belief of what is going on. And then That was the next day, something would have happened. Can anyone guess what would have happened? <Audience responded>

She gave a thumbs up and then she called me just one day before the full moon day and she told that yes we are on the plan , decided the agenda and  were ready for it. The next day the sun did rise, its a full moon day and it started… But hold on –  there is always twist in life to test your belief. What happened was –  a heavy rain. But still we manifested that we are going to get the umbrella, we are going to go around the mountain and enjoy.

And yes that happened as manifested – we were able to get around the mountain with gratitude, peace, happiness with his blessings. Altogether a great experience I would always carry with me.

My dear fellow Toast masters , These are the three steps that I did cover by using how should we manifest and I got my desire into reality.

Now going on to the third Q, why should we manifest?

<There was a question from audience – Friend A manifested to visit GOA with his Friend B. Friend B manifested not to visit GOA with Friend A. But Friend B succeeded.>

<My response was – Next time you follow these three points and let me know if it worked or not. Even if it did not work, there is some gap that we have to capture and we will discuss on the next meeting about that.>

So let us move on to the third. Why should we manifest?  What happens if you dont manifest?
Your mind wanders everywhere. Your thoughts go crazy and so does your actions and emotions.
But when we manifest, we are able to keep aware of our thoughts. We breathe away, we wither away and we throw away all the negativity. We don’t allow that negativity to defeat us. Eventually we cultivate positivity. Isn’t it? When you are aware of your thoughts:  when you think bad, whenever you think I am going to fall down- Yes You fall down.  From then on you monitor your thoughts and you make it clear that, yes, I am going to walk forward, walk straight, I am going to have my chin straight. That’s how we cultivate positivity.

In essence, we are making ourselves aware of our thoughts. We are getting our thoughts aware.
And last but not least, Be it a massive mountain or a minuscule issue; When we manifest properly, we can get around. Thank you.
