The birth and death of spiritual masters mark important milestones, but their true legacy is left in the lessons they instill. Today, we reflect on His teachings, remembering that His physical absence shouldn't stop us from working towards our own spiritual growth. Like an accomplished teacher, Swami's goal was to equip us with the tools and motivation to transcend suffering and embrace love as the fundamental force. It's up to us now to use those tools and find lasting fulfillment within ourselves.
