In this talk, Swamiji recounts his life’s journey, which led him to the grandeur of Sannyasa. All blood relations were dropped, to expand into a higher supra-worldly relation, which is the Source of all relations.
Swamiji describes his life of joy, pleasantness, sincerity, zeal, beauty and fulfillment. Despite several challenges, criticisms and adversities, he being in total harmony with the Eternal Truth, treats every hurdle only like a bouquet of flowers.
Swamiji describes his natural fondness for all, with no attachments, with no conflicts or disharmony. He describes the natural course of his life of over 65 years, as a Knower of Truth, disseminating The Knowledge of the Soul, through the Scriptures and living freely and joyfully, completely balanced. He says that this great treasure has been possible only because of his own Guru, saying that living in the company of a Guru is a great blessing and has great value.
Shlokas chanted in the Track:
श्रवणायापि बहुभिर्यो न लभ्यः
श्रृण्वन्तोऽपि बहवो यं न विद्युः ।
आश्चर्यो वक्ता कुशलोऽस्य लब्धा
आश्चर्यो ज्ञाता कुशलानुशिष्टः ।।
Kathopanishad 1.2.7
आश्चर्यवत्पश्यति कश्चिदेनमाश्चर्यवद्वदति तथैव चान्यः ।।
आश्चर्यवच्चैनमन्यः श्रृणोति श्रुत्वाप्येनं वेद न चैव कश्चित् ।।
