Spiritual Fulfillment
(spiritually fulfilling - spiritual uplifting)

Kaivalya Jnani:
Yes, that is what exactly happened with me when 15 years of age. In order to travel the spiritual path and search for God, I reached a stage when I felt I would have to forego everything that I called my own. My family... all relationships... all material riches... everything seemed lost.

At 11 years of age I had decided to go in search of God. By 13 years of age my desire had converted to the only goal of life. Come whatever may... I shall go in search of God in this very life... this was my motto!

When 15... I felt that in absence of a Guru (spiritual master) I would have to leave for the confines of the forests (jungles) to learn the Wisdom. I went to my mother and asked of her leave. She looked at me and bluntly refused.

She told me that if I wanted to go... I was free but the other day I would find the body of my dead mother in the canal nearby. She told me in clear terms that living with a husband (my father was a born dictator) in the present circumstances in absence of children was out of question.

I dropped the idea of leaving the family. I continued the journey of life living in the family. I somehow prayed to God to show me the right path. Living within the confines of the family I could not find a spiritual master to guide me. At times I was extremely puzzled... not knowing where to go or what to do!

One day while I lay in the Shavasana pose of yoga... I enquired of God Almighty whether he was prepared to become my Guru (spiritual master) for the balance of my life. I was totally flabbergasted when something within me prompted... yes!

God Almighty himself had come to my rescue. He had agreed to become my master and also my goal! After 25 years of meditation yoga I ultimately realized God in 1993. I finally reached the end goal of life... I had for all practical purposes succeeded in life.

I gained absolute Wisdom thereupon. The gist of Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism available on Mother Earth... having become like ABC... I had finally conquered the unachievable.
