SWAMI RANGANATHANANDA ..

                                     

" The endeavours and conclusions of the sense-bound intellect can not be the last word in man’s search for truth. An intellectual approach to truth will end only in agnosticism; and often in cynicism. But the whole being of man seeks to experience truth, to realise it. … This rising above rationalism to direct experience and realisation, this growth of man from the sensate to the super-sensual dimension, is the special message of Indian spiritual tradition."

(Swami Ranganathananda)

SWAMI RANGANATHANANDA (1908-2005)..
( Head Monk Rama Krishna Mission Belur .)

About Hurt and suffering ,  Swami Ranganathananda  says:

" Hurt and pain are unavoidable as long as we exist but all our efforts must be put in a direction that will make suffering optional. Even within  hurt , lies a pack of positive energy . It throws up many good things for us . Hurt wants us to get up ,  look around and below. Never lie down when you are hurt. It is like a violent sea  storm  that also throws up  costly  shells, pearls, coconuts , wood and many useful things. You need to get up, look around and thank nature .
Keep in mind to forget yesterday's losses. We may  lose what we have today  should we always  remain busy  in remembering what we lost in this journey."
