Walk With Me
Nandivardhan continued further, but my mind began to drift. 1 - Gautam - have Mahavir to guide me. I try to walk in his footsteps. Who Vardhaman may have left or what guided Mahavir? In whose the childhood friends and footsteps did he follow? Every time I family, but has endeared
have some questions I run to Mahavir, the entire living world as his friend. He may have but to whom did Mahavir ask his given up his physical
questions during sadhana? Mahavir is wealth, but he has gained an everlasting, invaluable my solace, but who was his? How did divine treasure.
he persevere year after year for 1212 years, all alone? My mind was spinning with so many questions; I could not concentrate on the rest of what Nandivardhan was saying. I bid him good-bye and wandered off lost in my thoughts.
I was hoping to unveil these secrets, though I wondered if Bhagwan would ever reveal them. How did he survive those years of sadhana? How did he finally realize the Reality? Where did he develop his limitless compassion for all living beings?
I sincerely wished that Bhagwan will someday talk about this. He will reveal his secret to us - his most dedicated followers. He would unlock the mysteries of his sadhana. However, I also knew that Bhagwan
never talked about himself!
