Paths of Pravritti and Nivritti Engelska 2014

Once there was a traveller who had been travelling for a long time and had not yet reached his destination. The destined place was far away. The traveller was traversing through ages, times and aeons, trying to reach the end of his journey. The destination was Brahmapuri, City of Light, and the name of the traveller was Mr. Atmaram, meaning Mr Soul The paths of pravritti (intense attachment to the world) and nivritti (disassociation from the material world) were the theme of the satsangs Swamiji gave in June 2010 at Ganga Darshan, after returning from a period of meditation and contemplation in the high Himalayas. Swamiji introduces the theme with a metaphorical tale of Atmaram and his journey to the City of Light . Fundamental questions are answered: the basis and method of living harmoniously while following a material life, the point at which an aspirant moves on to the spiritual path, and the role of a guide on the journey.
