TRANQUIL SHINES THE YOGI
Ultimately, the calmer the man, the more patient the man, the more selfless work he accomplishes. So, let these be our forte. Gurudev was the perfect exemplar of this. His whole life was a demonstration of karma yoga, work performed in the most trying of circumstances in the Seva Pratishthan at a time when the political climate of the State of West Bengal was precariously poised towards anarchy in the name of communist revolution and the Mission found its welfare activities hindered at every step by political proponents of an extreme kind. But his fortitude, calmness, steely resolve and superb strength of character saw the hospital through the turbulent day unto a brighter morn. Let us, his disciples and devotees, imbibe this spirit of tranquil resignation unto Thakur as we wend our way through the vicissitudes of life.
