Reflections;
Each member had different learnings and take aways from this highly insightful and motivational journey.
The main points were:
* Gurudev’s being mindful in the moment. He had a deep relationship with nature and at the end of his daily journey he brought it alive through his mastery of the language.
* he had an unbreakable spirit of mind over matter and total dedication and commitment to the goal behind this journey that he had undertaken.
*this journey was his Sadhana.
* Gurudev went through the most challenging journey without complaining and being focused only on the goal.
* he found humour in every tough situation and in an unknown territory with basic amenities and limited resources.
* throughout he cared for his fellow travellers selflessly.
* this book shows one the importance of a pilgrimage for one’s spiritual growth.
* Gurudev had unwavering faith in the Lord and a disciplined routine.
* Gurudev’s love and adoration for HIS country, was evident.
* he had the dispassion of a true seeker
*we reflected upon our own lives, taking Gurudev’s experiences into account.
Members spoke about their own life experiences, thoughts and reflections about the book and life in general.
Vinita Ji then did a short sum up of our session.
Reenaji offered Aarti to Pujya Gurudev and we concluded our class.
