This discourse is from the ‘the book of kindness,’ from which Om Swami reads a chapter called ‘Sunday.’ This is the second part to it.

It is a real story of a family whose life completely turned upside down within one hour when the tsunami struck. This could have happened to anybody says Om Swami. In continuation of this chapter Om Swami says that in life we are brought up being told that we should be strong and not a weakling and we should not express and show emotions as this could lead to us being exploited. But sometimes due to this we end up making ourselves so strong that we become indifferent and insensitive to people’s pain and our pain and sufferings too. Om Swami says that there is a constant search in humans for that elusive joy which evades them constantly. He says that the brain only processes what the heart is feeling so we need to connect with our heart as that’s where everything builds up.

Listen to the discourse fully to understand this topic.
