"The Essence of The Aitareya and Taittiriya Upanishads" is the latest

book uploaded to Sri Swami Krishnanandaji's site. In this book, Sri

Swamiji Maharaj analyzes the Upanishadic doctrine of universal creation

and the involvement of individual suffering when the individual

separates itself from the cosmic structure. This book is at:

THE MASTER'S INDIFFERENCE: After a few hours had elapsed another case

comes before the Master.



Swami X., an old disciple who had taken Sannyas from the Master some

years ago and who had his own circle of followers, got a little

irritated over a trivial incident and thought of going back to his

followers. He came to take leave of the Master.



"Om Namo Narayanaya, Swamiji Maharaj! I want to return today," he said,

and briefly explained what had happened.



"But what do these little boys know? You are an old Sannyasin. You are a

pillar of the Society. The mission needs veteran Sadhus like yourself.

Now I have all young boys. There must be some aged Mahatmas like

yourself. Only if you stay here will the institution be respectable,"

the Master argued for a little while.



"All right, if you feel like it you can go."



The Master then forgot all about it.

"The Gita is the cream of the Vedas. It is the essence of the

Upanishads. It is the universal scripture for all people of all

temperaments and for all times. It is a wonderful book with sublime

thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, devotion, Vedanta and

action. It is a marvellous book, profound in thoughts and sublime in

heights of vision. It gives peace and solace to the souls who are

afflicted by the three fires (Taapas) of this mortal world (Samsara),

viz., Adhyatmika (afflictions caused by one’s own body), Adhibhautika

(those caused by beings around one) and Adhidaivika (those caused by the

gods)." - Swami Sivananda
