A pilgrimage reveals grace and the nature of karma. My role is often to avoid being an obstacle to what is already divinely orchestrated. The Himalayan land itself is 'Dev Bhūmi,' the divine land, whose air enters every cell regardless of belief. The holy lake Mānasarovar represents the mind's expansive lake, where the true Paramahaṁsa, the supreme soul, resides on pearls of wisdom. This consciousness is likened to Mount Kailāśa, the seat of Śiva. All life, across 8.4 million forms, shares the same essence—the jīva, or life force, which does not die. Humans, however, possess unique freedom and intellect, binding us to karma through four avenues: body, mind, word, and wealth. We consciously create karma, unlike other creatures. Actions like killing for business create severe karmic debt, recycling one through suffering. The law of karma operates irrespective of belief.
"All I have to do is be a bigger or lesser obstacle to things that are already done."
"If you believe or not, the poison will affect. So, Himalayan holy air, if you believe or not, it goes into every cell of your body."
