The Soul Within

Paramahamsa used to often tell Vivekananda, ‘Naren, do not assume I am loving towards you; my love flows to the Siva within you.’ That’s how a Mahaan is; his love is directed towards the soul contained within; what use is a physical form to him.

That is why a Mahaan’s very glance is enough to solve your worldly problems; he has performed such immense prayers that he has accumulated powers of penance.

And his conviction that God takes care ensures that God does take care of everyone who comes to him.

What do you lose by coming to Siva Shankar Baba? I don’t ask for any fees, donation or money. Whatever flowers or fruits or sweets you bring to me, I return to you. In fact, I help you along your way. So what do you lose by coming to me?
