Poojya Swamiji, in this talk, states emphatically that every seeker must take to the habit of introspection. Whatever is read or heard, one must take to thinking deeply about it.

Introspection can be about the nature of the world, our life and one’s own personality. Swamiji urges seekers to take verses from scriptures and introspect over them till the concept becomes clear in their own minds. He asks all seekers to understand the place and importance of Manana or introspection in their life of spiritual seeking.

Shlokas chanted in the talk:

योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय ।
सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते ॥

Bhagavad Gita–2.48

यदृच्छालाभसंतुष्टो द्वन्द्वातीतो विमत्सरः ।
समः सिद्धावसिद्धौ च कृत्वापि न निबध्यते ॥

Bhagavad Gita–4.22
