Many of us accompanied him to the gurukul. When we arrived, he respectfully greeted the guru and said, “Pranam, respected Acharya, I have come here to learn from you the answers to some questions that intrigue me. Would you kindly satisfy my curiosity?'

The prince asked, “Respected Gurudev, I want to know who I am. Am I this body? I suspect that my body is different from my soul. How can I be sure? Can you teach me how to know this fully?

Listen to his sweet sound! What poise, what courage! Will Gurudev aptly satisfy his curiosity? What if he cannot?'
