Prem D. - Kathmandu, Nepal

I was in school when I heard about Maharaji from my parents. At that time, everybody was telling me to work hard to make my life successful. But one question always hit me, “What is a successful life?” Getting the best results in school/colleges? Or earning a lot of money? Or getting the best friend/life partner? Or becoming the best doctor, engineer, lawyer, leader, performer, player, scientist, manager, etc.? I knew many big titleholders very well, and I asked myself, “Are their lives successful?” I was frustrated when I found them even more worried, still running after something and still badly thirsty. My colleagues thought I was ahead of them, but I was feeling a void inside me and was not finding the ultimate answer.

While I was wandering in the jungles of the questions inside me, I came to listen to Maharaji. At first, I did not understand what he said, but I liked it; I felt that it touched me somewhere inside. I continued to listen to him. I was excited to find that he was addressing the fundamental question that was troubling me so much. I started listening to him regularly.

When I received Knowledge, I was overwhelmed with endless joy and a world of answers within me. This was what I was looking for! The whole world changed for me. The more I practiced Knowledge, the more I enjoyed it. Now I feel that I have real equilibrium in my life. I understood why this human life is called the most precious gift. Whatever I do now, I feel that I have started doing it in a better way and with more enthusiasm since my heart is not empty now. It is full of contentment and gratitude.
