Every second God is coming, but we don’t recognize God. How many years went by before Jesus was recognized? By the time Muhammad and Buddha were recognized, half of their lives were gone. So it’s up to us to recognize the spirit. Spirit is always ready, eagerly waiting to help us. We shouldn’t always limit…
O my child ! Hast thy delusion been destroyed ? Have you become fearless now? Have your doubts been removed? Are you resting now in your own satcidananda svarupa? I have declared to thee the profound secret of vedanta, the essence of vedas. O preceptor! I have realised the self now. I am verily that…
Question: Please speak about the second coming. Some people say that Christ is now in the world in a physical manifestation. Answer: In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says clearly, “Whenever there is too much unrighteousness in the world, I come to educate people.” That teacher is what you call an avatar or divine incarnation.…
Just close your eyes and think for a minute, “Does the whole world love me? How many people don’t love me? How many animals don’t love me? How many plants don’t love me?” Then you will know yourself how healthy and happy you are. God is love. That is the essential teaching from all the…
Question: If you had a wish, what would it be? Answer: My only wish is to be a good instrument in the hands of that Supreme Entity that you call God. All these years He has kept me under His feet, used me as an instrument and has taken care of me so that I…
Question: I have a growing desire to see God. It has become the thing I want most. But no matter how much I long for God, my worldly duties and needs get in the way. Can you help me? Answer: How do you know that you have not seen God? I heard God saying, “I…
Don’t be concerned with how to set priorities in your service. When your mind is clean and neutral and you are selflessly serving, you will be able to hear your own conscience telling you what is to be done first. Priority depends on urgency as well as your own capabilities. If someone has just been…
Question: What’s the best way of disciplining oneself to complete a task? Answer: Know that it is God’s task. God wants you to do that and is giving you the interest, the capacity and the knowledge to do it. If you think of yourself as an instrument in the hands of God, you will always…
Avidya (ignorance) is malina satva (weakened purity). It is the upadhi (limiting adjunct) of jlva (individual soul). It is the karana sarira (causal body) of the individual soul. Avidya is anandamaya kosha. Avidya is a false perception by which the ignorant jiva takes the body and intellect as pure, permanent and a source of pleasure.…
Only timid people get intimidated. If you don’t want to be like that, don’t compare yourself with others. You are what you are. Everybody is needed to make the whole drama, the cosmic play. Everybody. The king is needed, the queen is needed, the gatekeeper is needed, the hero is needed, the villain is needed,…
People want to have contact with an avatara (divine incarnation), without being endowed with the proper qualifications. Even if an avatara appears before you, you will not be able to recognise him. You have not got the eyes to see him. You will take him for an ordinary man. It is only a saint who…
Question: Often we willfully break the commandments of the scriptures. How can this be God’s Will? Answer: It is all God’s Will.
