"There are people in this world who are deluded within the field of ignorance (Maya), yet think of themselves as wise and learned. These ignorant walk along the evil circular path, which leads nowhere. They are like the blind gurus leading the worldly blind." -- Katha Upanishad


The above message is very timely in these days of “information overload.” Fools create the need for mostly useless information that leads nowhere. In fact, it buries us deeper in the perishable world and yet we think we are learned and wise. Without our humble submission to the Truth, there is no way to real happiness. As in the past, even today, blind leaders, teachers, businessmen, scientists and socialists think and believe that they are wise and that we are “advancing.”  However, more information does not mean more wisdom.

“Follow the Truth and Truth will set you free,” says Jesus Christ. Truth alone will win. The sooner we heed to such wisdom, the sooner we will find peace and real joy in this life that has so much to offer to those who are humble. We don't need information, rather faith, love and obedience which require no formal education or guidance.

--Swami Radhanandaji
