Everything Is God - Inspiring Story From the Life of Swami Ramdas

The Indian saint Ramdas was visited late one night by a strange, disheveled man who asked to stay in his sparse room. Throughout the night, the man repeatedly asked Ramdas for his few possessions - his clothes, books, lamp, water pot - which Ramdas happily relinquished as tests from God. When the man finally left just before dawn, Ramdas felt immense joy in seeing God in this man and surrendering everything, embodying his faith that everything comes from and belongs to God. This story illustrates the practice of seeing God everywhere, even in difficult people and situations, and letting go of attachment to possessions by offering them freely back to their divine source. By giving unconditionally, Ramdas found profound peace and freedom.

Nayaswami Gyandev shares this inspiring story from the life of Swami Ramdas from India, during his Sunday Service at Ananda Village, Jan 12th, 2020.
