  1. (A member of the audience asked a question and it was inaudible)

    Like in deep sleep there is no two. There is no, ‘I am sleeping’. Like that in a deep state of meditation there is no two. The body is as good as a pillow on the couch. If you feel there is no difference between the two things, then that is total detachme ...
  2. You are teaching us that the Guru is inside us. So why do you come and visit me?

    To tell you to go deep inside. Why have you come now to do the course? You should have come some other time when I am not here. Do you notice what pulls you to come! If your heart says I should go now then come. Otherwise, do it when I am not ...
  3. What to do when people do the course and then do not come for the follow-up?

    They come back sometime or the other. See when you have eaten a full meal you don’t think about food again because you feel so satisfied. But when you get hungry again then you come and look for food. The basic course itself is so complete and so ...
  4. Gurudev, I am not able to accept myself as I am. When I see someone else, I feel that other is better than me and that makes me feel low. How do I handle this?

    See Life from a bigger picture. There are so many people who are better than you today. And there are millions more who will come and who will be better than you. What are you going to do? Why do you compare? God loves everybody and you are ...
  5. My son earns handsomely and I am retired. But every month I take a certain amount of his money without his knowledge and use it for welfare of the society. I am pained by my action, because it makes me think that I am robbing and will this become a habit in me? I do not know why I do it but I cannot stop myself.

    Do not identify it as theft. If you are doing some good work, negotiate with him that you want to contribute some amount for the welfare of the society and do it within limits. If he does not listen then don’t worry. When you are living toge ...
  6. Gurudev, if what we see and hear is not the truth and yet our mind experiences life and the world only through our senses. So if 99.9% of all our actions are based on wrong view, what is the use of partaking in any actions?

    Even that action is also not real. Whatever action you do is also not real. If everything is not real then not just your thought but your action is also unreal. ...
  7. Q: Please save me Guruji. I lied (it is a long story) and came for the Advanced Course and now my boss has found out that I am at the Ashram. What should I do to save myself from the wrath of my bosses?

    If you have taken a sick leave or if you have said, ‘I am sick’, you can justify it. Sickness is not only physical but it can be mental and spiritual as well, because many times people are spiritually sick. Whenever you are not happy, that means ...
  8. Gurudev, I have read in one of your book, ‘God Loves Fun’, that we should not try to possess what we love. Does that also mean that we should not marry the one we love? Is marriage also possession?

    I never said that! Choice is yours and blessing is mine. Whether before marriage or after marriage, if you are too possessive then the other person will run away. Trying to control somebody, possess somebody may not be a very intelligent idea. ...
  9. Why is it that in our religion, fasting and other compulsory rituals are for women only and not for men? Like Karva Chauth fast that women observe for their husbands and other fasts that mothers observe for their sons. Men do not have to wear Mangal Sutra or wear sindoor? So is our religion also gender biased?

    It is not so! Probably men made the rules and so they imposed many on women. Actually women are at home and they have a lot of free time and so they take on all these rituals by themselves. What has happened is that the men don’t follow all the ...
  10. Gurudev, how to handle emotions? Even when doing sadhna and seva, sometimes negative emotions come up and disturb me a lot. I am unable to find a solution.

    Have you notice that it is already much lesser than before? (Answer: Yes, substantiality less, around 60%) That is a good thing. Does it give you hope that it will become lesser and lesser as you continue? That is your answer! ...
