Dharma

Kanchi Mahaswami Sri Chandrasekarendra Saraswati Swami was camping in Guntur in Andhra. It was a rather sunny day and the heat was unbearable. Mahaswami uttered the following golden words “ Just because it is sunny, is it practically possible to cover the entire village with pandal( temporary shelter made from dried palm/coconut leaves) or carpet the entire ground? What is practical is to have our own personal umbrella and footwear that will protect us from the scorching sun. Do not run after money, power and fame. That will be like chasing one’s own shadow and will only elude us always. If we do so, the only result will be our deviation from our goal, in the end of the day. So fix a goal for yourself. Walk towards it in the path of Dharma. The rest will follow!
