Sloka 14

In this very miserable state of the body, we started out, we realized that infinite soul is inside us. If I hadn't realized I would have lived in tremendous difficulties. Whoever knows the Atman goes beyond the stages of death. They become eternal. Those who remain in ignorance will come back to this world again and again.

(As told by Swami Gautamananda in his discourse on "Brihadaranyaka Upanishad" at Ramakrishna Ashram, Chennai)

Swamiji stopped here as it was time to wrap up. We shall continue when I attend the next discourse. I will not be attending the Sunday's (14th August) discourse as I am in Bangalore for my cousin's engagement. So we will lose continuity. My apologies for that. I will anyway update the blog daily. Thanks for reading.

Tomorrow: India and the last mile
