  1. Is it still necessary today to follow a Guru?

    Why this question? Asking this question you put yourself into a trap. When I give you an answer and you take it, that means you are already following! If I say, 'No, no need to follow', and you say, 'Okay, I won't follow', then you have followed. ...
  2. Please comment on this. I see so many people who are very close to you. I feel that I am not special. How do I feel the personal connection with you? I feel it is necessary to have personal connection in order to be 100% on the path.

    Certain things you should assume, and this is one of the things that you should assume – we have a personal connection; that is it, full stop. Now, don’t question it another time. No point in questioning your connection. We are all connected. There i ...
  3. As Buddha attained enlightenment he must have experienced what other masters experienced, yet he never spoke about God. Because of this some people even say that he was an atheist. Can you talk about this?

    Well, in Buddha’s time there were many concepts of God. Many people had read all the Upanishad. You should remember all of Buddha’s followers were high intellectuals in contrast to the followers of Jesus; they were all fishermen; simple ...
  4. If someone, whom you know loves and cares for you, doesn’t show it to you anymore, how do you still believe that they do and not get angry with them?

    Give them some time, let them take a break and recharge them self to show you their care back again. People do need a little bit of recharging again and again. You have drawn all that love and attention from them and it needs a little more time to get ...
  5. Dearest Guruji, I am not interested in spirituality or attaining enlightenment. I am only interested in you! How can I attain you?

    You are saying the same thing in a different manner that is all. I am spirituality and you can’t separate spirituality or enlightenment from me. That is impossible. In the ancient texts it’s called Dravya Guna Sambandha, the relation bet ...
  6. Gurudev, we have heard that there are some enlightened beings present in this world to help people, just like you help us. But they prefer to stay away from people. Are such people present today as well?

    There could be some people like that, some sadhaks who keep doing sadhana. And some feel, ‘why should I get caught up, what is the need ’, they think like that. There are all kinds of people in the world. There aren’t just one or two great people in t ...
  7. Can love happen twice? Husband and wife are already in a relationship? Can husband or wife start loving someone else?

    Tell me are you single or married? Ok, so you are single. If you are married and your wife tells you that she loves someone else, then how will you feel? (I will feel bad.) If you flirt with someone else, she will feel the same. Once you decide to get m ...
  8. I did the ‘Art of Living’ course to become sharp and focused but Guruji now you have become my biggest distraction but I love this distraction. I hope it is okay?

    For sometime it is okay. It is said when you put alum in water, it removes all the impurities, purifies all the water and then dissolves itself, yeah! ...
  9. Dear Guruji, could you please give me an answer? Is the man I’m in love with since one year is the right one for me?

    Well! You are in deep love with somebody, so that person must be right for now. But whether he continues to be right in future, nobody can say. It depends on you! How you handle. You are in love with some body, but is he in love with you or not? First you ...
  10. Is it possible to love and stay strong? Is it possible to love and stay reasonable? Is it possible to be in love and stay dispassionate? Is it possible to be in love and be free from jealousy and possession?

    Definitely. It is possible to stay in such a state of love without any of these negative connotations with that – if there is wisdom. Love with wisdom is bliss. Love minus wisdom is what you have mentioned; all this jealousy, greed, all this paraphernalia. ...
