Spiritual treaseres--2 (Letters of Swami Turiyananda)

[Guest guest]

dear friends,

 

Transalator preface --2

 

continue from previous .,

 

Life means struggle. No one can make

progress, either in material life, without struggle.

Spiritual progress rarely moves in a straight line;

it goes to the top of Mount Everest. He will cross

one peak of the Himalayas, then he will come down to a

valley, and then again he will climb another peak.

Although he may seem to come down after each climb, he

will be progressing upward overall. So it is with

spiritual life.

 

After joining the monastrey, Swami

Turiyananda passed through a dry spell which he later

described: " when I was and living in the Baranagore

Math, once I was in a very despondent mood. I could

not meditate. I was then pacing back and forth on the

roof. Suddenly there was a rift in the cloud, and out

came the full moon in all its majesty. All darkness

was dispelled, and the whole landscape was flooded

with light. It struck me. It flashed in my mind that I

am the Light, the Spirit. My Light gives light to the

whole world. Then all my melancholy disappeared. "

 

Once an old monk, who was very close to Swami

Turiyananda, told me, " whenever you feel a dry spell,

depression, or stagnation in spiritual life, please

read the letters of Swami Turiyananda; you will get

aboost instantly. " His words are true. I transalate

those letters which contain spiritual instructions, as

well as his personal reminiscences. Moreover, I

included forty-one letters which were originally

written in english; most of them were published in the

PRABUDDA BHARATHA.
