Every major decision has many uncertainties. How do we develop the ability to make the right decision that works for the present and also for the future?
Intuition, Intuition and Intuition. And how do we awaken our intuition? It happens through meditation. I think I said this in my last tweet before this session. “If you are sad then what is the reason? The sadness in you is there because th ... -
What are your thoughts around using brain entrainment and bio feedback technology to increase the efficacy of meditation and speed up the process of awakening and enlightenment?
It is okay. You can try it once in a while but not regularly. It is nice when fruits ripen naturally rather than you artificially ripen them. It does not taste that good when done in that manner. Anything organic is much better. What do you say? We are ... -
Dear Gurudev, you have often said that all knowledge exists in the universe in a subtle form and it just needs to be downloaded. In what form does it exist? Is it energy? Can you please talk about downloading of wisdom?
You have already said it: it exists as energy. It exists as a multilingual energy, and not just in one language. For downloading it, all that we need to do is to be a little more hollow and empty. Like anyone who wants to go into innovation or a scienti ... -

Gurudev, I work in the entertainment industry which is full of many unconscious and inconsiderate people. As someone who meditates and is trying to lead a spiritual life, what advice do you have to better thrive in these circumstances?

India- Land Of Diversity
(Photographer: Amit Shinde. Below is a continuation of the post Never Complain, Never Explain) Yesterday, I spoke about Republic Day celebrations. To celebrate Republic Day is to celebrate and honour Brahmajnana (Knowledge of the Brahman or the Absolute). ... -
Gurudev, if this creation is an illusion, then the knowledge which is a part of this creation is also an illusion. What then is the relevance of Upanishads and other scriptures?
Well, then your question is also an illusion. Why should I answer an ‘illusion’? (Laughter) See, you should not make comparisons. Everything here is unique and has its own place, so it should be honoured and respected accordingly. ... -
Gurudev, you have often quoted a line from the bhajans by Saint Farid which is, “Sabb sayaane ek matt” (Meaning: The wise ones agree unanimously that there is only One Divinity). But if you look back at all the saints in Indian history, such as Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavira; though they were born in the same land, they advocated and followed very different approaches.

See, when the destination is one, then there can be many ways to reach that place, isn’t it? So why should there be any conflict? When one does not use the intellect to understand the deeper truth, then one would think there is a conflict. ... -
Never Complain, Never Explain
Gurudev, why did Lord Krishna slay Shishupala (an evil king in Mahabharata and a distant cousin of Lord Krishna) when he spoke ill and abused Lord Krishna? Lord Krishna could have chosen to punish him in some other way also. Why did He resort to killing h ...
