Kṛṣṇa says that enriching should be practiced because everyone is part of us. Nobody is separate from us. Only then does enriching become a selfless sacrifice, yajña bhāvitaḥ.
A very beautiful story from the great Indian epic history, Mahābhārat: King Yudhiṣṭra, the eldest of the Pāṇḍavas, performed a great sacrifice after the battle of Kurukṣetra was over. He gave very rich offerings to the priests and the poor. They were all impressed by the grandeur of this sacrifice. They praised him saying, ‘We…

You cannot fight life or death. They are both beyond you, out of your control. You can marvel at them and be happy and joyous.
When you understand what Kṛṣṇa is saying in these verses (2.26 – 2.30) you get over any fear of death . In fact you will celebrate death. Sometime ago, when I was delivering a discourse in India, news arrived that my father had died. I continued with the discourse. Later that night, many of our…

After spending two-three years with you, why do people leave? How can they leave? Why don’t you keep them?
That is the greatness of a living master. He never hypnotizes you. He never brainwashes you. He gives you all the possibilities. You can leave even after ten years. The doors are open.

How does a seeker know he has reached his master, or can he have many masters?
When you reach the master, this question, ‘Is he my master or not?’ will disappear. Be very clear. People ask me, ‘Should we accept you as our master?’ I tell them, ‘Never do that mistake. No. I never promote myself. I can never tell you to accept me as your master.’

How do I become your disciple?
Actually, if you are unclutched, you can get into my circle. Being unclutched directly connects you to me. A tremendous energy starts flowing through you. What do I mean by unclutched? Being relaxed without clinging on to any person or thought or thing.

Is the statement, ‘When the student is ready, master appears’ right?
Yes, the statement is right. When the student is ready, master appears. Sometimes, even when the student is not ready, out of compassion, master appears. He gives the possibility. Even people who are not ready can take the quantum jump. So I extend my hand for the possibility.

Swamiji, I would like to know the purpose of our life, the world, the universe and our god.

How does trust develop between a disciple and a master? Is the disciple justified in demanding some proof or does the master expect unconditional surrender?
First thing, neither can the disciple have unconditional surrender nor can he stop asking for proof. Disciple means he will be demanding solid proof from the master to prove he is authentic.

Does the master choose the disciple or does the disciple choose the master?
Does the master choose the disciple or does the disciple choose the master? First thing, it is actually the disciple who chooses the master. Because master never chooses. The master just showers.
