A. We check to see the hourly, daily, and weekly weather report so we can plan accordingly: what to wear, whether to carry an umbrella or not or to change our plans if the weather is severe. Planning is good so we are not surprised. On the other hand, if there is a 90% chance of rain…
A. It does not matter what job we do, it is how we do it — especially the ones who have government jobs and are secured for life. Even those who volunteer in non-profit organizations and do not take a pay check should still do their best. When we call the airlines, or hotels, or…
A. This is one of the main teachings of my Spiritual Master. We unnecessarily get involved with so many things—especially when money is involved—we end up losing relationships. If you want to help, give to those who need help without expecting anything in return. You end up paying a heavy price to be a financial…
A. There was a person who came to the spiritual Master seeking his blessings to become a Jeevanmukta (a liberated soul—one who is from the world but not of the world). The Master blessed him. He, also, wanted to enjoy the same nectar the Master enjoys from His silence. The Master blessed him. Some time…
A. We are unable to remember our past lives because we are not able to forgive all those who have affected us in this life alone. We are unable to recover from the guilt of what we have done in this life. We are still saddened by the loss in this lifetime of many loved ones.…
A. The Bahamas just won the 2018 award for being the best Caribbean destination. Due to this award, the island will attract more visitors. Businesses seek the award for being the best in their category so their clients will feel more confident in dealing with them. Trying to be the best is in our nature.…
A. This world has fruit, which we enjoy—some are sweet, some bitter. When we get fed up with eating the bitter fruits, we try to elevate our souls. We start practicing silence, reading scriptures, and we go on spiritual retreats. Slowly, we start to experience peace and joy. As we elevate, our eyes look down…
A. A person gets fired from a job, and he wants to show everyone that he has got a better job and is doing better than them. We live for what others think of our accomplishments and success. Even the way we look is for others. Society is our God today. Everything is based on…
A. At a buffet, you will notice people overfill their plates. They waste a lot of food. When drinks are free, people often get drunk. If we have to pay for it, we order only what we need. What draws us to free stuff? Free stuff is enjoyed because we do not have to work…
A. People are consumed by financial matters, health issues, and family problems. If I only talk about these three topics, I will have an audience for life. Those fortunate souls who do not get caught up in the above are consumed by spirituality. “When will I see God? When will I become a liberated soul?…
A. How about a third option, both business and pleasure? When I was younger, I used to leave the warm Caribbean islands and go to frigid Detroit in the month of January for business. Even that was for business and pleasure. There were certain foods I could only get there. I got to meet nice…
A. I used to wonder what blessings would the spiritual Masters seek. There are two. First, they seek the blessing of humility. Along with this, they should feel they are more egoistic today than they were yesterday. Not even in their subconscious should they feel that they are becoming humble. The second blessing is to…
