From many stories I understand you are omnipresent and all knowing. This sometimes makes me feel a little fearful that you know all about the mistakes I make. What is your attitude towards the mistakes? Are you angry when you see me making these mistakes over and over again?

Gurudev, one bad incident rocks the whole nation, but why do many good things happening around go unnoticed without even creating a ripple?

Gurudev, who did you learn all this from? Who taught you meditation?
Do you ask a poet or a writer whom did they learn from? They write it by themselves, isn’t it? If a poet or a writer copies content from here and there, can they call it their own creation? Similarly, when one goes into meditation, all these come intu ... -
Gurudev, when we sit for meditation, some thoughts pass by just like clouds, but there are others that make us go on such a long trip. Suddenly I realized I am on a trip. What is the mechanism that sends you off on that long trip, and why can they not all pass by like clouds?
