Searching Question Fulfilling Answer
Each person struggles through

live. For some the trials are

overpowering, for others a bored

status quo prevails,and

for a minority mountains are

pounded to dust in

the search for meaning and joy.

Within the invisible depths of

each soul there is a yearning.

A need to know ‘Why?’.

‘Why do we live?’,

‘Why do we experience problems?’,

‘Why are we travellers on the

journey of life?’.

In the search for answers to

their uncertainties many turn to

the God-realised Saint.
    Travellers On The Journey Of Life
    Knights Of The Faith...

For thousands of years in Indian culture there has been the tradition of surrendering one’s self to the guru. Even in today’s modern society the tradition still lives. One can see young graduates renouncing the world to became sadhus for a place at Swamishri’s feet. To them he is everything. Through his teachings and inspirations they become the next generation of knights, albeit gentle, of the faith, defending and sustaining the ancient culture and spirituallity of India against the evils of today’s materialistic society.

Question

Jnanpriya Swami : So both the activities mentioned are not different levels?
Answer

Swamishri : Correct, they’re of the same level. When both become one, understand that you are attached to God. Bhagatji Maharaj staunchly followed Gunatitanand Swami’s agna. He put in a lot of effort. It’s very hard to put aside one’s own aspirations and live according to the Guru’s wishes. Otherwise just to physically stay with him and serve him will not free us from this feeling of being the body. But if we realise him to be faultless, all-knowing and become close to him, we will attain enlightenment. Bhagatji Maharaj realised this and did seva.
