Sukhmani Sahib Vyakhya (Telecast Day - Saturday, Nov 17, 2012) Elucidation of the 2nd Ashtapadi ends and the 3rd Ashtapadi of Sukhmani Sahib begins today... Being dispassionate to the world, knowing its ephemerality, and staying ever-immersed in simran -- with this essential message ends the 2nd Ashtapadi of Sri Sukhmani Sahib. The exposition of the 3rd Ashtapadi by the revered master brings forth the objective of studying texts, scriptures which leads the seeker deeper into sadhana. But alas! Today people are least interested in enquiring about the knowledge bestowed by our sages. No one is eager to seek the answers to the most pertinent questions: Who am I? What is this world? What is my connection with the Lord? Hypnotised by ignorance, intoxicated by its spell, no one desires to break free from its shackles. Wake up from the slumber as you watch today's episode of Amrit Varsha...
