Swamishri went for a medical examination at Dr. Dayanand Nayak's clinic in New York. The doctor took Swamishri's cardiogram and then proceeded to take the stress test in which Swamishri was required to walk vigorously on a rolling belt. Due to sustained walking Swamishri started feeling tired. At the end of the test, Dr. Dayanand said, "I'm sorry, Swamiji, for putting you under such strain. But this is part of our job. First we give pain then happiness!"

Swamishri responded instantly.

"That is our philosophy too!"

Swamishri is also a doctor. But unlike a medical doctor who merely relieves bodily pain, Swamishri redeems the soul from the pain of the cycle of birth and death.
