Travel Light

"Travel Light" is the general advice of the Railway Department to all train

travellers, with a view to offer greatest convenience to fellow passengers.

The same may apply in the case of travellers on the path of realisation. We

know we are proceeding on along the path, over-burdened with the weight of

our belongings existing in the form of samskaras etc. Now in order to have a

convenient journey we need to be relieved of it. It can be done in two ways.

Firstly, as when travelling by train we book the heavy luggage with the

guard of the train, so also in this journey we may give over the heavy

luggage to the charge of the Master and be relieved of its weight. That, in

other words, conveys the idea of surrender. When we have surrendered all our

belongings to the Master, we are free from the encumbering weight thereof.

The other method may be to go on setting them aside bit by bit by undergoing

their bhoga. But that would be a long and tedious process and very difficult

also. Anyhow we have after all to become lighter than the lightest. I want

you all to take this point into consideration and to act accordingly.
