Whenever you have a doubt, surrender the doubt and faith both at the feet of the master. You see, the master is the one who gives you the faith and he is the same person who gives you the doubt. When you are stuck with doubt, tell the master mentally, ‘Master, it is you who…

Upanishad means ‘sitting’. When a disciple sits in the presence of the master the same experience that happened in the master is reproduced in the disciple.

Swamiji, why do you insist on being in the presence of the master?

Someone asked me, ‘Are my samskaras, that is my engraved memories pertaining to my previous lives, an obstacle to becoming your disciple?’ Samskaras themselves are not an obstacle.

At that time of death, only the spiritually intelligent events in your life, or conscious decisions that you made in your spiritual journey will shine in multicolor!

Understand, the disciple will not know about his ignorance because he is in darkness. The responsibility is of the person who is in the light, not of the person who is in darkness. You don’t know how many births you have struggled or prayed to have a master. You are not even aware of your…

The master’s love is perhaps the only unconditional love there is, totally unselfish, without expectations, just giving, asking for nothing!

The master’s love is detached and radiating all the time. It radiates whether you are there or not. All you need to do is to stand with your bowl and take your fill again and again. Usually for a man, it is his ego that is the major block in receiving. By nature man is less…

The most magical moments in life happen in the moments of love and trust from a disciple towards the master!

A beautiful incident from the enlightened master, Ramana Maharishi’s life: There was a disciple who was writing the Ramana Purana, verses in praise of Ramana Maharishi. But he had what you call the ‘writer’s block’ and he was stuck at one point. Somehow, whenever you write with ego, the ‘writer’s block’ will happen. Anyhow, that…

When I say ‘I will take care’, I am actually giving you the stick with which you should stand up!

When you are with the master, be completely open. Don’t be frozen. Understand that life is a lot more than logic. Let go of your logic and be completely open and aware. When you let go and are open, the master is such a live energy that you will be transformed. You will be a new…
