A satsang on the mission of human life and spiritual education.
"To be born, eat, drink, sleep, and procreate is not the sole aim of human life; other creatures are also expert at this."
"Rahiman dhāgā prem kā, mat todo chitkāya, toḍā phir jūḍe nahīṁ, jūḍe gāṁṭ paḍ jāya. (The thread of love, do not break it out of some doubt or anger. Once broken, it cannot be joined again. If joined, there will be a knot.)"
Swami Maheshwarananda welcomes parents and attendees, dedicating the gathering to supporting a disciple's new yoga center. He explores the unique purpose of human life, emphasizing the cultivation of kindness, forgiveness, and understanding. The discourse outlines three essential forms of education: from parents and family, from school for intellectual development, and spiritual knowledge (parā vidyā). He stresses that the ultimate human mission is to realize God and unity, advocating for a life of selfless service, maintaining loving relationships, and building a legacy of good deeds.
