Svarga and naraka
A spiritual discourse on the concepts of heaven, hell, and human suffering.
"In the forest is svarga. In the town or city is naraka."
"Everything is here, but you are still afraid. And it was here before. And you were not aware of it."
A master answers a disciple's question about the locations of heaven and hell, defining them as the forest and the city respectively. The speaker elaborates on the miseries of urban life, focusing on fear, the pursuit of money, and the psychological trap of possession and lack. He questions where true bliss (ānanda) is found, concluding with teachings on sacrifice and renunciation from Holy Gurujī and Mahātmā Gandhi.
