________________ SUMMARY Paramahamsa Niranjanananda That was a very beautiful, poetic and inspiring presentation from our respected guru brother, Swami Nischalananda Saraswati. Why have we come to this convention? We have come to learn something. Why have we come into this world? We have come to learn something. Learning is the purpose of life. Those who claim to have learnt everything are duping themselves and others because the process of learning never stops. The learning process is a spiritual process, a continuous process of self-evolution with spirituality at its base. When we become aware that spirituality is at the basis of learning then we can understand the saying, Eeshwara ansha jeeva avinaashi, the spark of divinity is still shining bright within us. We tend to forget that spark of divinity and we tend to forget that we are learning. We tend to involve ourselves in our own egos, and this is the cause of human downfall. Yoga is a process of learning, of attaining and progressing. Once we are able to realize this, the entire world will become heaven. That was the message of Swami Nischalananda Saraswati.
