Spend Your Time with an Enlightened Guru - Ep 3 | Annamalai Swami

It is said that "You become like the people you spend the most time with. Choose wisely." If this is the case, then the best choice you can make is to spend your time with an enlightened Guru who is free from all worries! Of course, not all are fortunate enough to have the holy company of such a Guru. But at least we all can have the company of their books and videos containing their teachings. Instead of wasting time on mundane activities and media entertainments, we can choose to study the life and teachings of great yogis and sages who attained freedom from all kinds of sufferings. Their teachings will certainly help us in going beyond the illusions of this worldly existence. Good news is that now we can access their teachings even on our mobile device for free! Thanks to our modern technology. In this way, one can even turn his/her mobile addiction into an opportunity to learn from enlightened Masters. On the importance of holy company, great Guru Sri Adi Shankaracharya mentioned a verse in his Bhaja Govindam: "Satsangatve nissangatvam nissangatve nirmohatvam, nirmohatve nischalatattvam nischalatattve jivanmuktih." Meaning: Through the company of the wise Sage, there arises non-attachment; from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion; where there is freedom from delusion, there is abidance in Self-knowledge, which leads to freedom while alive. It is in this context that we have created this video series under the title, "Spend Your Time with an Enlightened Guru". This is episode 3 of this video series and it contains teachings of enlightened master Annamalai Swami. This excerpt is selected from the book 'Living by the Words of Bhagavan' by David Godman.
