For each individual, the term 'growth' holds different meanings. Personally, it extends beyond professional advancement to encompass what I refer to as the 'spiritual realm.'
Every day, I strive to surpass a certain threshold in comprehending the essence of our existence.
This journey of growth gives my life profound meaning as a human being.
There are a few books, that I find quite valuable for my personal development.
Reading this particular book has allowed me to delve deeper into life's purpose and true significance.
"Himalaya Ka Samarpan Yog" is a self-authored work by Shree Shivkrupanand Swamiji, who dedicated 16 years of his life to exploring the enigmatic corners of the Himalayas and engaging in intense Sadhna (spiritual practice). Throughout this period, he lived in close proximity to 11 revered Gurus of the Himalayas and imbibed the ancient wisdom of Samarpan Meditation, an 800-year-old pathway to enlightenment. This book represents the first installment of a series, recounting his initial experiences with his Guru, his rigorous Sadhna routine, and unraveling the mysteries of life and death.
I believe that the author's ideas challenge us to alter our perspectives on life.
They compel readers to engage in profound contemplation and transcend the superficialities that are apparent to our physical senses.
One noteworthy concept presented in this book is the impermanence of our bodies.
Lately, I have come to understand why our physical forms and lives merely serve as temporary abodes for our souls. We recently rescued a pigeon that cannot fly. While carrying it towards an open sky, I pondered the possibility of this pigeon growing too accustomed to the convenience of its cardboard box. It would remain oblivious to the vastness and truth of the open sky, the potential for another life, and the realities that await. The same principle applies to our souls as well.
While some of the thoughts resonated deeply with my heart, there were others that I struggled to comprehend or approached with alternative perspectives.
I think it is a captivating read, lets us expand our perception of the true nature,life,cosmos and the divine.
