Man should unite within himself before he can think of human unity. As an illustration of the principle of Ekattva, the speaker narrates the story of Shikhidhwaja and Chudala, and also the story of Yajnavalkya.
The second Canto of Book Five starts by introducing us to the personality of Satyavan, a jewel among men. He is a being of rare make, beautiful within and without, endowed with richness of inner life and qualities that are not easily found.
Why is there grief and suffering on earth? Is it Karma or Divine Grace (Pragya) or both? Is law of Karma a crude mechanism of sin and virtue or is it a means for progress and evolution? Does one suffer due to ignorance? Should one accept a particular situation or try to change it? Speaker answers these questions in detail.
Nature has its way of playing and it takes very long time to progress. Man can excel the process by yoga and compress the thousands years’ work in just one life time. We have to focus the goal and organize all our movements towards the goal.
