Thought For The Week

“…Take this path only after serious reflection. There is yet time to return to the old life. Are you ready to obey my orders implicitly? If I ask you to face a tiger or a venomous snake; if I ask you to jump into the Ganga and catch a crocodile; if I want to sell you to work the rest of your life in a tea-garden in Assam as coolies; or if I order you to starve yourselves to death, or burn yourselves in a slow fire, thinking it will be for your good -- are you ready to obey me instantly?”

The four Brahmacharis signed their assent by bowing their heads in silence. He then initiated them into Sannyasa, naming them Swamis Virajananda, Nirbhayananda, Prakashananda, and Nityananda.
