The Eternal Journey, Sunshine Coast
A satsang on the eternal journey of the soul, held on the auspicious occasion of Rama Navami.
"I would suggest you read this book. This is the holy Rāmāyaṇa, written by the great saint Vālmīki."
"Our eternal journey is many, many times we came on this planet, and we went back, and we went. So let's hope. Let's hope and begin."
Following prayers for Sathya Sai Baba and a reading on the glory of Lord Rama's name, the speaker delivers a discourse on the soul's endless journey through cycles of birth and death. Using metaphors like a leaf blown by the wind and water cycling from ocean to rain, he explains how the individual soul (jīvātmā), carrying its karma, reincarnates across various forms and realms. He describes the process of death, the determining role of one's life's actions, and the ultimate spiritual aim: to end this journey by realizing oneness with the divine, like a drop merging into the ocean.
