Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Omkara Center, Frewsburg, New York, 1986

"Some Indian temples are so far away in the hills. Our mind is always using some sort of karma. You want to throw away that karma. The temples are far away; not in the city. We will automatically get peace and energy. Some Indian temples are in big hill stations. There are no facilities for cars and no roadways. We must walk up by steps for two miles or three miles. Automatically, our body becomes very tired. 'Oh, my God'. That's the sound that comes. 'I'm very tired, Oh, my God!' Just like this, the devotion automatically comes. It's a penance."
