Acknowledgement

Salutations at the lotus feet of the Divine Guru. A Divine Guru’s grace works wonders in a disciple’s life.

The mind is a double-edged sword and so is the Internet. If correctly used, then these two can unlock immense storehouses of knowledge and understanding for a seeker that has thirst for knowledge.

My heartfelt thanks to the people that have helped me with their valuable feedback.

Dedication

For all the enthusiastic seekers of knowledge who want to realise: ‘you are the ocean of existence within yourself’.

Prologue

Pritha visits Mashimoni (her aunt) during her college break. She stays with her for a few days and the two engage in deep discussions.

Pritha realises that we are the creators of our world and what we experience is what we draw into our mental realm based on our own thoughts. The good and the bad both exist within us and not outside of us.

They visit Mashimoni’s Guru’s ashram in the state of Punjab where Pritha gets initiated to the ‘Divine Knowledge’. The experience during the initiation process is a powerful one and it heralds a new beginning in Pritha’s life.

Epilogue

At the end of the visit Pritha and Mashimoni goes back to Noida.
At the juncture of departure, a quiet sadness touches Pritha's heart. In that short span, Pritha had formed a deep bond with Guru Maharajji, didi, and the Ashram.
While coming back in Mashimoni's car they admire the golden fields of blooming mustard fields on both sides of the highway. Their journey continued woven with thoughts and legacies yet to unfold.
