The fourth Sri Swami Maheshwarananda Festival of Spiritual Music (2/4)
All power lies within. Strength of will and mind is essential for self-realization and to change the world. Weakness is death, so one must pull oneself together and rise up now. Meditation and high ideals must be faced directly, never abandoned, for this leads to salvation and reveals one's true nature. An inner fire must burn to reach the goal; without it, one cannot ascend. A constant stream of conscious strength must always flow.
"All powers lie within you, so start to rise up now and work it out."
"Without fire, you will never get higher. If your heart does not burn, your life will never turn."
