Talk: Advaita Makaranda _ 1605_Conclusion

Today was the Concluding Session of Advaita Makaranda discourses. Talking on the last two shlokas, 27 & 28th Poojya Guruji said that the author says that every shloka of this text is like a lotus flower, and every seeker is like a bee. They need to not only go near these flowers but aim to dive deep into them to get the nectar out of each of these flowers, and that is why he has kept the name of the text as Advaita Makaranda, the nectar of Advaita.
