  1. How do I blossom in divine love when I have a partner because my love for my partner somewhere dilutes my love for the Divine. I feel I am not giving my 100% to serve you.

    No, they are not in conflict at all. Don’t think that way. Sun shines through every window completely. But don’t use this when you fall in love with another woman. You know what Guruji said, ‘Sun shines through every window totally.’ So I ...
  2. What do you mean by self-realization? After one attains self realization, is he not reborn?

    Yes, that is absolutely true and you have come to the right place. Often people are at the wrong place. They want a cup of tea or coffee and they are found at a fabric store. But you are at the right place, just be a little patient. ...
  3. Gurudev, please tell us about 'purusharth'. Is it just our effort, such as the sadhana, seva and satsang that we do or is it something else?

    Purusharth means attaining these four things: dharma, artha, kaam and moksha. Dharma is doing one's duty; kaam is fulfilling one's desires; artha is generation of wealth; and moksha is achieving freedom from all these. All four are essential. This is ...
  4. How do you decide as to what is the right balance between selfishness and selflessness?

    That depends on you. You have to see what is needed. Whatever your consciousness can do, that much you do. You cannot donate the shirt you are wearing but suppose you are having two idlis and the person sitting next to you is hungry, you will sha ...
  5. The meaning of ‘Aasakti’ is interest, inclination or intention, while ‘Nirasakti’ means the absence of interest or inclination. How to perform an action when there is an absence of interest or inclination to do that action?

    Now I will ask you a question. You bathe in the morning. Do you bathe with a lot of interest? Do you brush your teeth with a lot of interest? No, you don’t. Just because you have to do it, you do it! It’s natural and effortless. Anything that is ...
  6. Gurudev, How can I make myself so strong that the misbehavior of other people do not affect me?

    First of all don’t think you are weak. Thinking you are weak is the problem. Turn back and see in the past how weak you were and how much stronger you have become. Focus on what you have become today, much stronger than you were before. ...
  7. Gurudev, we should not expect anything from others but is it wrong to expect from ourselves?

    It’s ok if we expect but if it is not met then doesn’t matter, relax! ...
  8. Gurudev, I get fooled a lot of times. What is that I should do to be wise?

    When you get fooled it is not only because of lack of intelligence but also because of greed. People who are very greedy get fooled very fast. That is what I have noticed. If you are over ambitious and greedy it is easy to fool you, but if you are ...
  9. Gurudev, how I can be independent of the result of my actions?

    When you surrender all the past actions and are ready to face the consequences of those actions. If I stole something and I say, ‘yes I have stolen, give me whatever punishment you want to give me.’ I am ready to take the punishment. That is what surr ...
  10. Gurudev, what is the technique behind, ‘you are everywhere yet nowhere and you are nowhere yet everywhere’, can you teach us?

    Hollow and Empty! Relax and let go. It is the ego, that ‘I am’ is separate from everything, from existence. That causes the sense of not being part of the whole or not being the whole itself. ...
