The Triangle of Thirty Years
An evening satsang reflecting on thirty years of spiritual work and the responsibilities of human life.
"Parents should only get children when they themselves are grown. Parents must know what it means to have a child. It is one of the biggest responsibilities on the parents."
"Understand, it's both. Ātmā, the soul, is the same. God, or other animals, or yourself. But qualities, what is there? And what we have, humans, those kinds of powers, others do not have."
Swami Satyananda Saraswati addresses a gathering, using the symbolism of a thirty-year triangle to discuss family, societal duty, and spiritual evolution. He emphasizes the critical role of parents in providing love and education to prevent societal decay. The talk expands into the nature of the soul, the five sheaths (kośas), and the importance of a true master (Satguru) for navigating beyond the elemental body to realize the cosmic Self.
