I am in a relationship with a person who is too calculative about his actions. He is scared of getting attached as he believes that it might affect his spiritual growth. Is this right?

How does the Karma of our parents and ancestors affect us? Are we also punished because of their bad karmas?

Dear Gurudev, how can I help people who have a lot of resistance in their minds?
In the world, there are different types of people. We should accept them all as they are. There are people with resistance. It is okay. Let them walk at their own speed. On this planet there are rabbits, there are deer, and there are snails. So you ca ... -

A person who is very close to me continuously lies and cheats. It is like second nature to him. And the lies are expressed with a straight face. Why do people do this and what will become of them? Please help, I want to put my mind at rest.
You should remember that God loves fun. If everybody would have been like you, you all would be like the Ford Company. The world is not a Ford company, producing only one type of car. Even they change the model every year. God loves fun ... -
How do we get salvation in this life time, and how do we get rid of negative people that live with us?
I said to leave all your problems here, but do not leave your family members who are troubling you! (Laughter) Once it so happened, I said the same thing in the Ashram, ‘Leave all your problems here.' One lady said, ‘My mother-in-law is my ... -
Can you please explain, how should I deal with this situation? I love a person unconditionally but that person takes me for granted. How do I deal with that pain?
Oh, they take you for granted? They don’t love you back? They don’t express their love to you, is that the problem? Well, do not question their love. If you find that they are not being loving, instead of accusing them saying, ‘You do not love me’, as ...
