thinking about Gayatri mantra

the days are coming closer to take a seminar on Gayatri mantra.
i don't even have idea what all i can speak.
initially i thought that i should not speak because i am not practitioner of Gayatri mantra. later i thought that whatever i know i can share with others. if i did not benefit does not mean that knowledge will not be useful to others. earlier too i have had experiences that some time people are touched by the words which i might not have even noticed while uttering.
so i decided to give the talk.
and then started thinking about the topic.
yesterday i was thinking that Gayatri is not a mantra but also a life style.
it has three sections. first is to accept the divinity, second is to meditate and third is to seek the enlightenment. at least this is what i have heard many a times from different sources.
when i see this process this is the process of doing any act.
if a driver is going to drive then first he accepts the power of vehicle, which is to be driven. then he concentrates on the process of driving and performs set of operations as he feel and as result he reaches his destination. even this is Gayatri.
so if we see in this broad context then every act is Gayatri.
in this it may look like i have removed the aspect of divinity from Gayatri mantra.
i dont think so.
Belonging to Bharat has made me realize that divinity is not an external element to be imposed in any object or process. it is basic nature of any object or action itself.
i have seen cart pullers doing namaskaar to his cart before he takes it to work. mechanic will also do the same to his implements. and this seen from a beggar to a richest, from a child to old man.
so when you do any act with this view then any act is Gayatri mantra.
this way of looking at the like may also divinize the day.
so when asked how many gayatri mantra you are doing per day just means how long you are able to concentrate on the divine aspect around you.
does that mean that have for gotten the line preceding these three lines. the line bhur bhvah swah have been told as three Lokas, Worlds. they have been told they are Three levels of existence. so this line tells that i am not one but three that is body mind and soul. and hence i am more aware of my existence. if i consider myself only as body and act then mantra will not be complete. so wheni do any act i should be aware of all levels of my existence. while doing the sandhya there are more words in the gayatri matra at one point. it talks of 7 words Bhu, Bhuva, Swah, Mahah, Janah, Tapah and Sathyam. i think these words should inspire a man to dimension which are available to him. so he has to work to achieve those higher realm of his existence.
and of course the is OM in the staring, about which i need tell anything it is self explanatory sound.
