When you are caught in an engram, just be in the Avatar’s presence, you will be completely healed of it.

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…

How beautifully does a Master-Disciple relationship exists and flowers!

There are many levels in the master-disciple relationship. The first is purely at the intellectual level, based on doubt more than anything else. Numerous doubts keep coming up all the time. You think, ‘Eh! He seems to be hardly thirty years of age. How can he be a master? He doesn’t seem to be highly…

Five attitudes with which one relates with the master

There are five attitudes with which to relate with the master. Through each attitude, a different path unfolds, taking you closer to yourself. One path is the attitude of the mother towards her child, looking at the master as your child. This is called vatsalya bhava which is how Yashoda, Krishna’s foster mother, related with…

I am not here to prove my divinity. I am here to prove your divinity!

The poet-mystic, Kabir sings beautifully, ‘Master and god both appear before me. To whom should I prostrate? I bow before the master. He introduced god to me.’ Swami Vivekananda, in one of his discussions with fellow disciples of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, referred to Ramakrishna as god. Another disciple objected saying, ‘Surely this is taking it to…

Relationship with an Avatar, who is one with Existence, is deeper than any other relationship. It is a being level connection!

What is a relationship? Relationship is that which can reveal to you dimensions in you that you don’t even know exist inside you. It gives you the experience and proves to you that you are also capable of loving someone or something. It shows that you can also love and you can also sacrifice to…

You may not have the intelligence to always learn correctly from life, which is why an Avatar happens in your life!

You may ask, ‘Why do I need a master? I can learn from life.’ Learning from the master is a very sweet experience, a very joyful experience. The master first puts you in his lap and gives you the anesthesia of love before he starts his operation on the tumor of your ego. Because he…

Why do we need an Enlightened Master in our life ?

The master speaks not to give you the truth, but to help you recognize that the truth is already within you. The master is only a mirror. You see your own face in the deep silence of sitting by his side. The body language of enlightenment is the master. The enlightened master, Adi Shankara, recites…

Enlightened Master is the doorway to one’s own divine experience

Chitram vadataror mooley vriddhah shishyaa gurur yuvah Gurostu maunam vyaakhyaanam shishyaastu chinnah samshayah Beneath the banyan tree they sit the disciples, old men, the guru a mere youth! The guru speaks through Silence alone But lo! The disciples’ questions dissolve on their own! Understanding of concepts will remain academic, and techniques will remain as tools…

Existence flows through Enlightened Masters like air flowing through hollow bamboo creating music, that is why they are so beautiful!

Enlightened master’s grace is the grace of the whole of Existence. They are the only utterly innocent beings on planet earth. Trust is an attitude. It is not a substitute for appropriate action. The spirit of trust is the essence of the very life. It leads to innocence, surrender, relaxation and bliss. If it is…

An Enlightened Master is an overflowing expression of Existence, when He speaks there is a beautiful silence, which is his undercurrent. If you are open you can feel it touching you!

Paramahamsa Yogananda says, ‘Daytime is the devil’s playground.’ In daytime, we continuously feed our mind with words. Actually if you observe, words come in the way of learning. For example, now you are sitting in front of me. Many of you don’t understand what I am saying because I am talking a foreign language to…
