The Story Of Swami Rama - Holybook

The Story Of Swami Rama
true Self, the quintessence of life, the soul!
It is written that Bhrigu the Brahman kicked the
left side of Vishnu, viz., the goddess of wealth and
prosperity, and Vishnu rose and came and bathed
the feet of Bhrigu with his tears. He who
renounces self, obtains God.
He who runs after self, be he a king, ho is a beggar
kicked from pillar to post. It is the Law. It is not the
monopoly of the ochre-robed monks, it is the light,
it is for all. Moslems, Christians, Jews, Sikhs,
Parsis; man, woman, child, low or high need this
one Light of Truth for their beatitude. Without this
sunlight, the shivering due to cold cannot be cured!
It is essential for all to be educated and not
essential for every one to be a professor. To know
this True Self, this soul, is the necessity for every
one to be happy, but to lose oneself day and night
in this spiritual ecstasy is the share of a few, the
true Faqirs.
For him in vain the envious seasons roll,
Who bears eternal summer in his soul
From himself he flies,
