Complete Reliance and Dedication

In this talk, Swamiji says that the Vedantic Pursuit is meant for dedicated seekers. It calls for purity, renunciation and resolution.

A renunciate renounces blood and matrimonial relations and he has no expectations from anyone. He accepts whatever Providence brings him and never loses his own independence and sovereignty. He abandons all dependence on the outer world and finds joy and fulfillment within.

Swamiji exhorts all seekers to find out what is permeating the body. It is something like space, a sentient space. A seeker has to understand and feel the sentience part of it. When it is felt, there will be fulfillment, appeasement and fullness.

Shlokas chanted in the Track:

लोकानुवर्तनं त्यक्त्वा त्यक्त्वा देहानुवर्तनम् ।
शास्त्रानुवर्तनं त्यक्त्वा स्वाध्यासापनयं कुरु।।
(Vivekacūḍāmaṇi 271)
