Is it superstition to believe in God? Yes! Believing in God is superstition. You do not believe what you will do next? How can you believe in god. Unless you believe in yourself, your belief in God is superstition.  You have needed support every moment since birth. The same support is still following you. Whether God helps you or not, but when you don't believe in anyone, then faith in God gives you courage or support, which you believe in yourself. You gain this trust from some external power while it is inside you. You believe in yourself. You will find God in you.  Meditation is the world's greatest discovery. We all know about meditation. We also meditate. But we are not able to be in meditation. Being in meditation is a different thing. Meditation can be said. But it is not understandable. To be in meditation is to understand. But there is no one to understand there. We say that I experienced this in meditation, I felt it in meditation. Whereas meditation happ...

What is the definition of love?  Love is the attraction towards truth, god, beauty (Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram). A person in love discovers his own soul. One who cannot be in love with oneself is attracted towards others. He or she wants to be lover or beloved being dissolved in love. This is the attraction of love. When two people are in love, the time between them ends. Their mind goes beyond time. Where the two become one. This unity is the truth-god-beauty. He who does not find love inside, his love journey travels outside. And getting his or her lover comes true-god-beauty.

When I peeped in my mind, I saw there desires, lusts and thoughts. Whenever I used to witness them, they dissolved and I was thrown on myself. Gradually I learned that accept me everything else is false, so I started living in myself. Then I realized that my being included everything. I was surprised. Now wherever I look, I find myself. Narada asked Lord Vishnu what is your illusion? Vishnu said, I will tell you later.  Once both of them were traveling from the sky, Vishnu said to Narada that I am thirsty. Bring water for me from somewhere.  On coming to Earth, Narada knocked on a door to ask for water. A beautiful woman came out of it. Narada was fascinated by seeing her. They both got married. They also had three children.  One day it rained heavily. It caused floods. His entire family was swept away by the flood.Narada somehow saved himself, but lost his entire family. He was crying on the river bank, then Lord Vishnu grabbed Narada's hand and pulled it up....

Are concentration and meditation same? Concentration and Meditation are not same. Concentration is a way to go in meditation.  You select an object for concentration then give attention on it so that your mind do not wander here and there. This is concentration you can do but not meditation. You have to just be in meditation because meditation is not a process to do something. Your thinking process stops there. You and your concentration object becomes one in it. You go beyond yourself. Once a salt doll went to measure the depth of Ocean. It wanted to tell others how deep the water was. But this it could never do, for no sooner did it get into the water it melted. Now, who was there to report the ocean's depth.

How to be happy in life? Vani has asked the question, and all the people of the world are searching for the answer to this question. The only reason for sorrow is desire. Excessive desires cause misery in our lives. If wishes are not fulfilled then the person is sad. When wishes are fulfilled, he is sad.  Today all the amenities in the cities are a means of comfort, yet the person here is unhappy. Happiness is not in outside things. The real happiness lies in you. We have forgotten our true happiness while running after desires. We don't even laugh happily.  Desires take us away from our nature. Our nature is joyful. We are blissful. But under the wishes, we remain miserable throughout life.  When a child is born. If he is two or three years old, then feel his nature. That is your nature. When you get away from your nature, you are sad. Otherwise, no power of the world can make you unhappy. You recognize your nature. For that you spend some time with children....

What exactly is the right taste of life? In fact, the true essence of life is love. Which is available from inside us, not from outside. You must have also felt that suddenly, without reason you are feeling very happy. You are so happy that whoever comes to you, they also feel the joy of it. You start swaying in bliss, doing childish acts like children. You feel like dancing. This is the juice you want to have. Whatever the path, the whole world is in search of this juice.  When your wish is fulfilled, you are available to this juice for a few moments.  When you find a friend... then you see the beautiful greenery on a mountain... then when you see a beautiful baby laugh or when your lover expresses love to you...when someone embraces you with love, wherever you see the attraction in life there is a search for the same juice in that attraction. This juice is available to you for a few moments and is lost. But Krishna, Buddha or Meera find it forever and live in bli...

Who is right to live, for myself or for others? Living is right for yourself. To live for others is to deceive oneself. Giving love to others is the way to get love.  If you make someone happy, that happiness will one day become poison. Because you are not happy in your life. You are not full of love. Unless you have access to love or bliss, you cannot share it. Unless a plant is full of flowers, a tree is not laden with fruits, they cannot share their flowers and fruits. When you are full of joy and love, you do not have to ask to share it. It is a bliss to share it.  When Gautama Buddha was not enlightened, he kept silent as if he were nowhere. But as soon as he became available to e enlightenment and bliss, he started searching for his friends to share it. When he reached home, wife Yashodhara jokingly told his son Rahul, "Look, this is your father who is a monk. Go and ask for the property that you want from him." Then the Buddha initiated Rahul. He said, ...

What should I do? My mind has no wish to live life. Yes! Your mind has no wish to live life. I also did not have wish to live.  When a person is tired with working from morning to evening, he has to rest in the night. When a person is tired of life, he seeks rest in death. We get tired or upset with life because we do not know how to relax. We are troubled throughout our lives. But we are not able to relax. A troubled person remains troubled even after death. Relaxation in life is in life, not in death. Being in relaxation is one of the greatest arts, which gives you life. When you go to rest from the fatigue of life, rest not only your body but also your mind. Stop your mind running around, stop thinking, and you stay in yourself. With this you will be refreshed and your life will be resurrected.  Life happens when you are with yourself. When you get lost in a world of thoughts and dreams away from you, you become unhappy and disturbed. It is easy to be in meditat...

Once upon a time. A tribal boy came to learn the tricks of archery to the master but he refused . He was the master of the princes. How to teach a lower caste boy? So the boy went to the forest, made the same master's statue and started learning the archery as he considered him a master. One day the master went on the prey. Suddenly his dog stopped barking. There were seven arrows in the dog's mouth and those who were shot so cleanly neither the dog suffered pain nor one drop blood seepage.  The master remained surprised and thought who's art of this. Then he saw same boy 'Eklavya'.  Being a student is an art. This art should be taught in schools.  Learning something is not easy under the teacher because a student always wants freedom.  The student's mind always wanders around, what keeps on listening to new ones, is lost in dreams, due to which the mind is not dedicated. When the students are completely devoted to the teacher or the knowledge, then ...

What is the root cause of the current rising domestic violence? Due to excessive running in life, the person has become restless, violent. Peace cannot be expected from a restless person. Non-violence cannot be expected from a violent person. A disturbed person does not remain conscious. Therefore, in a state of unconsciousness a man is unable to control his energy, and seeks a way to release the energy. For that, he either fights or expels his energy through sexual intercourse which is a subtle violence. That is why a person also gets intoxicated, so that he can forget his Disturbance, his violence that is burning him. The same problems are with women. She is also overtaking men. Now how can love be expected of two violent people? This is the reason why there is a lack of love in humans. Man has forgotten to love. One has to learn how to travel from violence to love, from unconsciousness to consciousness.

How to be free from lust? What is the harm in sex? From witch you want to be free. This is the greatest happiness of the world. We are made of sex. It is pervaded in all over our body. Do not run away from it, it has to be understood. There is a desire in every human to live life. Your sexuality also wants to live. So it wants to get out of your body. As the mother gives birth to her child. Our spirit is the source of sex. As long as we are unconscious, sex gets energy from it. You cannot escape sex, but when your spirit becomes conscious, it becomes alert, so it becomes stable in its nature. This stability is freedom from sex. Feel the stability. Your experience will only liberate you. For this, sit in Siddhasana or Padmasana. Leave your body loose. Then close your eyes, and in your sleep as you dream, see a dream, and imagine a man or if man so to a woman in front of your mind's eyes. Now enjoy your lust. When lust takes you in its lap, immerses you, then suddenly be ...

If a person wants to learn something from your life, what message would you like to give him? Unwind, leave what you have learned from your life so far. Education and society have made you so clever that in this you have lost your innocence, simplicity.  Children are attached to life with their innocence and simplicity. They learn from life. We have forgotten to learn from life. If you want to learn something from life, it is to connect with life. Have to get life.  What we see from the screen of our knowledge is not life. Life occur when you put your knowledge aside, you connect with life instead of being entangled in yourself, you are with you. Life happens when you are with yourself. You have to learn life from life.

23. Can I consider my pet cat to be my spiritual master? No, because a domesticated cat is not as alert or attentive as a wild cat. The wild cat does not walk on built paths. All his actions arise with alertness. But a pet cat, having all the comforts, can become relaxed, lose its alertness. It can be your slave.  How dangerous is the word 'pet'. Can you pet a guru? And the guru who agrees to be domesticated loses being a master. If the cat has to be made a master, then make a wild cat, which is not pet. You can learn to be aware, alert or attentive to it. Pay attention to that how conscious it is to walk, get up, eat. She also appears awake in sleep. You can enter spirituality through this awareness. Learn to be alert like a wild cat. The cat would be spiritual or not you will become spiritual.

Why do we worship idol? We cannot believe in the formless God, so there is no worship of the formless. Yes, you can worship the shape of the formless and become available to the formless. The idol or doll is also associated with our childhood memories. We have an inner love with him. Meera fell in love with the idol of Krishna in his childhood. Krishna lived as Meera kept him. This made Meera feel very easy to be with Krishna . This childhood love became devotion and Meera became Krishna herself, received God. If we can be in love with an idol, then we can be available to God. Krishna says, "You worship me by whatever you worship."

Q. How can a person get himself out of bad habits?  Whenever a bad habit arises in your mind, immediately become aware as if you wake up from a dream from your sleep. At that moment, they remain for a while. But due to your awakening, those dreams start dissolving very fast. Just look at the bad habits arising in your mind with this awakening, this awareness. Watch that habit overpower you. Just look at that habit. Do not have to hold nor consider that it is wrong, it is right. With just witness, closed eyes, see those habits in front of your mind's eyes as if you are watching a picture. In a few days you will catch the awareness. You will know what is alertness? What is being alert?  Now whenever a bad habit arises in your mind, become alert for a few moments and watch this habit dissolve in front of the awareness like a dream. Any of your bad habits will easily disappear.

Q. What is truth?  Truth is a vision through which we see the world. In this view, the world looks as it is. But we see it from the point of view of fantasies, feelings, expectations or desires. Because of which the truth is not visible. Truth is happening every moment. Truth cannot be said. it can be seen.  A child of two-three years does not think about things. He is able to see it straight away without thinking. This is to see the truth. The practice of meditation and yoga makes your mind simple and innocent like blue sky without clouds. This is the truth. You travel from this truth to the truth and you are available to the infinite truth.

Q. Can physical pleasure be attained by meditation? Pleasure can be achieved by meditation. Great enjoyment can be attained. Meditation is done only to attain material happiness. You buy something that brings you happiness. Within a few days it's happiness disappears and you start thinking of buying other things. Therefore, you go on buying things one after the other, but there is no feeling of happiness from them. You have to be in order to achieve material happiness. Stagnation of your mind is necessary. At the time of feeling of material pleasure, our mind wanders somewhere else, due to which the feeling of material happiness is not fully available.  Meditation makes physical happiness fully attainable. Wandering mind in thoughts get peace. Teaches you to live moment to moment and makes things fully felt. Provides material pleasure.  Meditation makes things conscious. Without meditation you make thing to a human and get the great causes. Meditation is not free from enjoymen...

Q. How to recognize a master (enlightened one)? One day, I went on a picnic with some of my friends. We booked a big room there and we all slept close together in the same room.  I often get up for meditation at 5:00 am. So after the bath, when I sat for meditation, I first saw my friends sleeping in front of me, who were sleepy. In their sleep, they were not conscious at all. Somebody's hand here, someone's leg is there, saliva was flowing from someone's mouth. I carefully inspected them.  20 minutes later my first friend woke up. He had no awareness of where he was. He rubbed his eyes. He saw his fellow friend slept nearby. He was still not fully conscious. When he got a little conscious, then his attention went to me. Suddenly he became conscious. He knew the situation of me and himself and his colleagues, who are we? What are we here for? Now he was aware of the conditions of three different people, himself. myself and my sleeping friends. He was still half ...

Q. Why did I get the sorrow while I was so happy today ?  The law of nature is that if you get sorrow, then also gets the power to bear it. You are very fortunate that God kept you happy before showing the sorrow so that you can bear it. Although happiness is coming back. There should be a moment of sorrow between two happinesses in life, so that you can know happiness. You can live it. Bliss is our nature, while sadness is momentary, yes, momentary. The biggest grief of my life happened in my life, it was just a moment. At that time it was as if I had sunk in the ground. Like - my heart has sat down. Only two drops of tears came out of my eyes. Momentarily, I returned to normal. Such sadness will not come again in my life. The more we remember sorrow, the more it becomes. Whereas grief is only a moment between two happiness.

What is the simplest way to achieve God?  The simplest way to attain God is meditation. Today I tell about the meditation through which thousands of people have become available to God. This method is derived from Bodhyadharma. Millions of people are following this method.  In this 15-minute meditation, you can sit in any posture, in which you have comfort or lie down on your back like a dead-body. Leave your body loose. Close your eyes lightly and feel that my thoughts are calming ... My thoughts are calming .... Within four-five minutes you will see, your thoughts have calmed down. Then concentrate your mind on your incoming, outgoing breaths. Do not think. Allow your mind to move with your breath. As the breath goes in, your mind also goes in and feel the place, feel the point from where your breath returns back out. And also the point from where the breath returns from outside. In this way, with breath you also keep going in and out. In a few days you will rece...

Has anyone seen God?  Everyone has seen God. Everyone has experience of truth. But that experience does not have to know well. Have not tried to know that. In sleep, when you are lost in a dream then only dreams come true. But as soon as the dream breaks you become established in your being, your God. You see all the joys and sorrows of the dream dissolving with it. Just like a dream, you too are awake, lost in thoughts. After one thought ends and before the second one starts, between two thoughts you experience the truth or God. You don't hold those moments, and they get lost. Beyond thoughts you and your God are one. Do meditation, Give a break to thoughts. You will be able to catch these moments of truth, see God.

5. I have everything yet why is there sorrow? We want to live life to the fullest but our mind keeps wandering us in the future or past. We do not live life to the present. This is the reason for our stigma. One who lives life to the fullest, is always in bliss. Live your life moment by moment, every moment. If you eat food, you will have the memory that I am eating food. While bathing, walking, working, always maintain your remembrance that I am with me. Then you will experience bliss. This joy will pull you towards you. Get absorbed in Anand. You will find what is worthy.

4. What is the purpose of life? The purpose of life is life, so that we live our lives to the fullest. The reason for our sorrow is also that we want to live fully, but we cannot live. I do not say do not buy TVs, do not buy washing machines. Do not buy coolers. It is also important for the person to be prosperous. Even though we are sad, we have lost life. Today America is a thriving country, yet the misery continues. Albert Einstein, the world's greatest intelligence scientist, was unhappy. Wanted to live his life again. He died at the last stage of life, searching for the purpose of life.

3. Should we connect children with spirituality? What is the harm in spirituality? Which do you want to keep your children away from? Spirituality is the art of living life. If a child is deprived of it, then he makes his life hell. As we see in the world. We have considered this hell as heaven. Therefore we are afraid of spirituality. Children understand spirituality easily. My experience is that the things that I cannot explain to the elders, the children understand easily. Because there is no obstruction in their mind due to simplicity. They accept everything directly. Meditation is one of the simplest things in the world. But they are not able to understand easily, children understand. When I talk to children about meditation, they immediately enter into meditation. Because they are very close to meditation.  Spirituality is not a battleground. This is a light of knowledge through which your child saves his life...

2. How to quit a bad addiction?  Yes, if you have a bad addiction and really want to leave it, then resolve not to do it and leave it. Still, if there is no addiction or habit left, then there is a remedy for it. With this remedy, any bad addiction in the world can be easily discarded. Remedy - Whenever a bad habit or addiction arises in your mind, be alert before it. For example, if you wake up from a dream in your sleep, then for that moment, dreams remain for some time. But due to your awakening, those dreams start dissolving very fast. Just with this awareness, watch that habit dominate over you. Just look at that habit, don't catch it. In this way you will catch awareness in a few days, you will know what is alertness. Now whenever you have a bad habit in your mind, become aware for a few moments and watch it dissolve with awareness, like a dream. Any of your bad habits will easily disappear. Second remedy - whenever a bad addiction catch you or you use it, then se...
