There are four people in your house!
Once a man came to me and said”Swamiji, we are just two people in our house, my wife and I. Still there is no peace!”. I told him, “Who says there are only two people in your house? You are four people”. The man was simply shocked. I told him, “You are you, your inner…

Get out of addiction
Addiction to anything is an unconscious or mechanical process. It is not just addiction to drinks or tobacco. It is addiction to even religion. People who pray unconsciously and mechanically, following a routine, will find it very hard if they miss even one day’s prayer. For them, it is an addiction and so it causes…

Why do we feel tense during situations ?
The fact is, we are not even aware that we are working with imagination. Our imagination has become such a solid thing for us that we can’t even see it as imagination. We are caught up in it. If working towards something is causing tension in you, then you are not working in reality; you…

Root cause of all diseases
A man’s body is the most intelligent, self-correcting, auto-immune system. But somehow, we trust our mind rather than the inherent intelligence of our body. There starts the problem and all our worries. A father camel was explaining to the son camel the body structure of their species. He said “You know, we have humps in…

In our yearly trip to the Himalayas, some of the participants complain about the hardships and unhygienic conditions.

How to be worry free?
Worry is nothing but the continuous, uncontrolled inner chatter happening in your mind. The mind is an excellent recording system. It stores your negative thought patterns, your complexes and your worries. Whatever you teach the mind, it learns and repeats faithfully. This is how you create a solid mental make-up of negativity. So be very…

Real worship
Existence is pure love. Society is always against pure love. Deep inside, society is actually against Existence or God. All its worship is mere hypocrisy. It hides in the name of worship. The best way not to follow anything deeply is to start worshipping it! Society escapes in the name of worship. When you worship,…

Swamiji, was it failure in love that caused you to become a sannyasi ?
It was success in love that caused me to become a sannyasi! Failure in love will create only a Devdas, not a sannyasi. Only when you can love the whole world you can become a sannyasi. A true sannyasi is one who is so loving and compassionate that it is said that where he walks, the…

Respect is dead. Love is alive. Respect creates a distance, love knows no distance.

Love
Nothing is misconstrued as love today. Today, love is more of a transaction. If someone says something nice to you, you love him; tomorrow if the same person falls short of it, you don’t love him that much or you probably hate him. Even your lifelong friend, with whom you chat everyday on the computer,…
