IT WAS ABOUT FIVE O’CLOCK IN THE MORNING and dawn was just emerging. Not knowing where to go or what to do, Radhanath Swami stood with his friend on a railway platform, which bustled with the crowds who came off the train and the hundreds who wrestled to get on. Amid it all, a strange comfort arose in Radhanath Swami’s heart. It was similar to that feeling he had while praying in the temple of Kasi Viswanath, a feeling that something special was about to happen in his life. There appeared to be

Yet there is another unmanifest nature, which is eternal and is transcendental to this manifested and unmanifested matter. It is supreme and never annihilated. When all in this world is annihilated, that part remains as it is.
