A True Master

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 asleep, half awake. The dream of sleep was still going on in his mind. Now what to do next? He was also planning that. 
As soon as he tried to awake one of his friends, our third friend woke up. He had no awareness of himself for a few moments. Now, first friend was aware of the situation of four people, me, himself, just awakened friend and the other sleeping friends.
The same four-five conditions in the world are between sleeping and awake one. If someone, like my first friend, gets a little awakening, then he can easily identify himself and enlightened one among these sleeping people. There is no other way.  
To identify a master, you have to get a little awakening.

Bhagvat Gita

Explain the essence of Gita in your own words. The soul is beyond birth and death, but you do not know it. On knowing it, you are situated in your soul, who has never been born and will never die. This is the state of salvation, this is self-achievement. After getting that, you rise above all sorrows and happiness and always live in bliss. This is the enlightenment state. By thinking about things, you become attached to them. Because of that you leave your soul and do work to get things, which causes misery.  No human being lives without work. Therefore, you should do work without attachment, located in your soul. This is the work-free stage. Doing no work, leaving the world and is not renunciation. Because wherever you go the world will follow you with your mind. Therefore, it is renunciation to rise above your mind while living in the world.  Wherever this fickle mind wanders, it should be removed from there and put it in soul, in your being so that you can be si...

Taste of Life

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...
