Complete surrender to a higher power fosters profound love and diminishes personal pain. The essence of devotion transforms concerns into a greater awareness of divine will, making individual troubles seem insignificant. Acceptance of life’s circumstances, through deep engagement and care for others, further alleviates personal struggles. This shift in perspective enables individuals to forget their own issues while focusing on the welfare of others, underlining the significance of selflessness in overcoming adversity.
Inspired by the 15th chapter of the Ashtavakra Gita, Swami Sarvapriyananda gives a discourse on the nature of the Self.
