Gurudev, please give me some tips for becoming a monk or a swami. Do I need to do something or it just happens?
If you want to become a swami just come to the Ashram, stay here for sometime and learn, read and meditate. Dedicate your life for the service of the country and it will be done. Ashrams are there, and you don’t have to worry about electricity bills or ... -
Can you please say something for the people who are visually impaired?
Yes! Being visually impaired is not an impediment for growth. You all should remember this. Surdas, a great saint of this country was visually impaired. Dhritarashtra was an emperor who ruled India and he too was visually impaired. So there are many e ... -
Dearest Guruji, any valentine in the world pampers his partner, reciprocates the love, etc. How can we find the same satisfaction in the Divine Valentine?

Gurudev, when consciousness is formless, should we have faith in the forms also or just have faith in the formless?
If you have reached the formless, it is fine! Forms are just part of the formless. You can’t relate to the formless, so you relate to the forms when your eyes are open. But when you close your eyes and go deep in meditation, then only you can relate to ... -
Dear Guruji, while answering a question, you mentioned that our energy level goes down after watching movies. But when I watch you Guruji, I feel more energy.
That’s ok! So, you have your own experience. What I am saying is, when you see people who go into movie theatres, they look so fresh and energetic. When they come out of the movie theatre, look at their faces. They look so tired and dull! They are not ... -
Dear Guruji, we are all the same at the very core. Then, why do some people long to know about the self and spirituality and other people do not? Isn’t it the same spirit in them too?
See, it varies. Different people have different interests. Some people are so fond of mathematics. Ask Bawa (Khurshed Batliwala); he is so fond of mathematics. He did a video on mathematics ((a+b)2 = a2+2ab+b2) and there were so many hits that the server c ... -
Gurudev, in the Mahabharata, what was the significance of Lord Hanumana being present on the chariot of Arjuna?
Well, in those days they used some flag, like how every political party uses some flag today. The Congress party uses a flag with the ‘palm’ symbol, another party uses ‘lotus flower’ symbol. Like that in ancient days they used Hanumana because it is a sign ... -
It has been said that this world is not real but an illusion of the mind. With this perspective, how do we view Lord Krishna and his teachings in the Bhagavad Gita? Were they also an illusion?
Is this question real or an illusion, first tell me? If the question is real, answer will be real. If the question is an illusion then everything is an illusion. Your spirit of enquiry is also an illusion, then why should an answer be given for it. Go ... -
How to balance between practical life and dreams? From dreams there is a desire to get more, while practical life makes us realistic.
Yes, there should be a harmony between dreams and practical life. You might have seen the event Taalninaad that happened in Solapur yesterday. Earlier, people used to say that it would be very difficult for three thousand people to play (tabla) togeth ... -
Gurudev, it is said, slow and steady wins the race, but doesn't feel as an appropriate lesson in today's world. What should be today's version?
Be steady inside and run fast. Instead, if you are slow in walking and unsteady inside, it is no good. Be steady inside, and run fast outside. In fact, people do the other way around. They move very slowly outside, but they think too fast. Inside, they are ...
