Some teachings given in lectures by Hari Prasad Shastri
One great thing which our life needs is inner illumination. We must increase the Light within ourselves, and we can do so as long as we live.

There is a light which knows the rise of the sun and its eclipse, the light of which the sun is the object.

Our duty in life is to awaken that light in us.
