Man-of -Wisdom 

 Narada continued, “Oh Arjuna! 'It was thus that the illustrious king Yayati of high achievements, rescued by his collateral descendants, ascended to Vishnu Loka with his daughter  and grand children Sages Ashtaka, Pratardana, Shibi, and Vasumanas.”

Arjuna said, “Oh Deva Rishi Narada! Pleased I am to hear the story of the King Yayati and his descendants. All of them have acquired sufficient merit by their good deeds and were accepted and received with a hearty welcome at Vikutna. One who aspires to peace and happiness should instantly renounce craving and seek instead that which neither grows old nor ceases - no matter how old the body may become. I am clear that only spiritual practices are blessed with. “Tathatma – jnana-hinatma Kalo Jnasya na Labhyate” – Thus to the Man-of -Wisdom, there is no time when He is not aware of the Self-in-Him. The Self is Undisturbed, Profoundly Peaceful and ever -Formless. The Self is “Knowledge of all knowledge. On hearing the story of the King Yayati my “Joy of Realization” has increased many folds. I can tell this to myself every day morning, as soon as I wake up, just to boost up my own morale. It serves as ‘Inspiration’ whenever I undergo the depression. I am ever grateful to you o, wise Narada. Accept my salutations!”

                    Sage Narada was pleased to see that the story of King Yayati sharpened his enthusiasm and he left for Vikutna saying, Oh Arjuna! You are the Man of Wisdom. Be happy always! “Yadrichha Labha Santushta!”.....Sivkishen, Author
