ఎవరెస్ట్ ఎక్కడం- స్వామి సచ్చిదానంద బోధ

Climbing Everest

“Wherever you are, whatever you do, have discipline in your life. When you want a big reward, you have to pay a big price. Even for a few minutes of ego gratification, like climbing to the top of a mountain, so much effort is needed. How many months of great difficulties will you have to undergo to attain such a goal? At last, you stand at the top, plant your flag and say, ‘I conquered Everest.’ In spiritual life, however, once you get to the top, you have reached Ever-rest. You do rest there, and you won’t have to come down. You can even pull others up, as well. But there are no shortcuts. A great price must be paid to reach that great goal. What is that price? Leading a selfless life.
