Some more Q & A


Here are few more Q & A with Swami ji:

Q. What is consciousness?
A. Everything is consciousness! Whether you can see it or not, feel it or not!

Q. What is the purpose of my life?
A. On this question, Swami ji asked the participant to pat himself and said congratulate to yourself that mind is opening up and going beyond the day to day life, my job, my family, prestige etc. Then he said I will tell you three things in reference to this question:
i. One who know will never tell you the answer.
ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer.
iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question :-)

Q. Who am I?
A. Again for this question Swami ji asked the participant to congratulate himself and he said again follow the three things I told you in answer before.
i. One who know will never tell you the answer.
ii. Those who are telling don't know the answer.
iii. Keep asking your question and whatever answer comes keep putting them in trash and one day you will get the answer to this question.

Q. On the path there are many people who are very vocal (in telling their point of view) while some are very quiet. Please tell where to be vocal and where to be observant and silent.
A. Speak where ever you feel like speaking and be silent and observant where you need to do so. If are not able to speak it means time has not come yet. Its like this when fruit is ripe it automatically fall from the tree effortlessly isn't it. If you have to put effort to speak it means time has not come yet, be silent and observant. Just be natural.

All Glory to Gurudev!

Spiritual or self-help teaching is a slippery path to walk upon. Being a spiritual teacher comes with a danger that one can have a notion of knowing without knowing. For example, i t is one thing to intellectually understand yoga is good for the healthy body but then doing it every day to keep the body healthy is an entirely different thing. Similarly, it is one thing to understand the benefit of practicing acceptance for the peace of mind then to living the acceptance.  Let's  expand upon it a bit. There are three kinds of understandings viz intellectual, experiential and existential. The first level of understanding is the intellectual understanding which is the most superficial one, like understanding of the mental phenomenon, methods of quietening the mind, and one can easily intellectually understand this knowledge or inner science which is very similar to the understanding of any other field like physics, chemistry, mathematics etc. Here the process mostly involves...

Sakshi-The Witness

There is wisdom beyond every event. There is love beyond every person. There is infinity beyond every object. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar These are beautiful lines spoken by world renowned spiritual leader and humanitarian Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Though sounds very simple but these few lines are impregnated with vast wisdom which immediately bring the shift in consciousness by little dwelling. Other significance of these ' sutras ', the tenets of wisdom is that it covers most of mind stuff/activity/thought. If carefully deliberated one find mind dwells either on events, people or objects most of the times and all most all over conflicts whether personal or otherwise can be attributed to these three dimension of existence namely events, people and objects. Interestingly, events, people and objects brings two kinds of experiences, pleasurable or miserable. When these attributes brings pleasurable experience mind develop craving for those events, people or objects (e.g. partyin...
