Autobiography Chapter 34, Part 1: The office was made for you, and not you for the office

This episode covers the start of chapter 34 to: “... Lahiri, surely this cave seems familiar to you?” Summary: The chapter focusses on the miraculous story of Lahiri Mahashaya's meeting with his guru Mahavatar Babaji in the Himalayas, one of the most significant spiritual initiations in the book. We examine how Lahiri Mahasaya's journey from his accounting job to meeting Babaji involved multiple coincidental elements, including the location near Ranikhet Nanda Devi peak and the timing of his encounter with the voice calling his name. The group analyse Babaji's explanation of how unity consciousness allows gurus to work through all minds as transmitting stations.  0:00 Introduction; 1:48 Expectations from the Chapter; 5:20 Setting of the scene; 20:00 While out roaming your hear your name; 34:45 The meeting of meetings; 46:00 I remember; 55:00 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in the episode: Dunagiri: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qrdvxeh8G4qTtJHHA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanda_Devi https://yogananda.com.au/gurus/yoganandaquotes06.html https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/56341262  Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 34 to: “As I maintained a bewildered silence, the saint approached...”  to “‘The hour is midnight.’ My guide laughed softly...” #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS
