    Matin....
    Thought I' d better share this. For long many have not known this.
    For us, you know why a Swamiji, means so holy?? Why the word' Swami ' is taken with reverence? For the simple reason that we believe he is above everything and everybody else !! Even God !!! We say Swami Devaa and not Devaa Swami !
    That is the tradition...No wonder it pains us these days when in every nook and corner you find someone calling himself a Swamiji and indulging in all sorts of nonsense.
    For a true believer Swamiji is the ultimate master who shows you the path to ultimate liberation through self realization...

    Never say any human is above god. No creature of god can be above the creator.

    This virus has clearly shown to all in the world, that there is no differentiation between rich and poor, king and pauper, old and young, man and woman, Brahmin and Koraga, and all are equal in the eyes of God.

    Santan....
    All are equal in the ' Eyes of Virus ' may be...
    There are many who do not believe in the existence of God... but believe in the virus and take precautions....Right? Wear mask fearing the invisible enemy...
    What ' Eyes of God ' for those who don't believe... Got my point? For them it is the Virus only... There are many who rejoice now saying even God has closed doors owing to the pandemic...So how can he see is their logic.... !
    Those who believe and don't are equal in the ' Eyes of God '?? Point to ponder right?

    Don't count on followers Jossey... And what they understand !
    To each his own way... Your hand Your Head... and what you have 'Understood Ultimately ' counts for you.
    You understand the Words that count first.... If it's a new arena tread carefully... Slowly you will understand... but realization will still be far of...
    Make a new begining...
    Write a few lines about Corona and what new have you understood about life in it's aftermath..
