People sitting in a boat in the Satpuda hills.
Yuva Sanwad Shibir

In the waves of the river... in the depths of the mind... when we take a dip in the clean water of the river, the river takes us into her lap, and supreme energy and contentment are found in the lap of the river. Gazing steadily at the flow of the river not only brings peace of mind, but also the ice peaks frozen in the mind begin to melt and flow. The creatures and pebbles seen at the bottom of the river all seem to sit in the lap of the river and travel along with the flow of the river. In this journey, the river itself is the guardian and teacher of all these. If the flow is calm, the journey of all goes on flowing slowly, but when the river floods, the flow taking a fierce form gently brings these same creatures to the riverbank and drops them, and when the flow becomes calm, all the creatures go back into the flow... Every time taking a dip in the deep waters of Narmada, a dip is also taken in the depths of the mind. While floating in the waves of the river, the fundamental mantra of keeping the inner emotions and thoughts of the mind flowing is received from the river itself. The journey of our life is also like the flow of the river... sometimes at a slow pace, and sometimes like the flood of the river... but the river always flows naturally without any discrimination... Due to humans doing wrong deeds going against nature and for the greed of so-called material comforts, the river water is getting polluted, yet every year the river flows anew, carrying away all the accumulated dirt and flowing with clean water. The knowledge of flowing naturally was gained from the river... Washing away the dirt and gloom of the mind in a flowing life, the mind also became clean like clean water... Whenever I want, whenever I feel like, I go to take a dip in Narmada, every time after taking a dip in the deep flow of Narmada, new things are discovered within my own depths... Keeping thoughts and mind clean, the joy of a flowing life is increasing... Experiencing the picturesque dawn on the banks of Narmada means bathing in the solar energy reflected on the water, taking a dip in the flow of the river means taking a dip in one's own depths... washing away all the gloom on the mind, shedding skin and getting a new freshness, walking enthusiastically towards a flowing life... Without sitting on the riverbank and having the direct experience of taking a dip in the flow, this invisible energy is not attained. For a flowing life... one should go to the flow of the river... the mind should also be made flowing...-
