ESSENCE OF PILGRIMAGE

Srinatha Raghavan wrote on fb just moments ago, 
"Why undertake a pilgrimage?" was the question.
He replied, "To lose yourself...till you find yourself?"

A true pilgrimage is that which leads you to yourself. When you undertake a pilgrimage, you gradually lose yourself to fate, realizing that there is a Higher Power that is taking care of you at every step. Once you become fully aware of this Higher power, that's when the real essence of the pilgrimage will come forth - Surrender. Then when you come back to the world and the worldly, nothing will have the power to distract you, for you'll be then firmly rooted in Truth.
So true. Exactly what Balamurugan too experienced after his pilgrimage to Kailash.
