You got it all wrong. You think that just meditation is going to do it all for you. You are just enjoying meditation. Why would you get upset if you are deeply soaked in knowledge? You think keeping quiet for sometime is going to do everything f ... -
When we see you in satsang or in Kriya, we feel high, but how to get that high always?
Forget about always. When you take shower, you feel that warmth or coolness. Shower is for sometime only, but that shower keeps you clean the whole day. Isn’t it? If you say you want to always be in the shower, then you have to be a fish. You can ... -

Dear Guruji, I know I am extremely lucky to be with you in this life time. But I do also feel that I am not making the most of the opportunity you are here to provide all of us. Can you please advise me on how best to make the most of the opportunity you are providing us?
