Karma can work on you only as long as you have thoughts. In conscious awareness you go beyond thoughts. So, naturally you will start ruling over karma. Any meditation when…

Enlightened Master clearing the samskaras is like you facing a thorn prick instead of suffering a fracture!
Q: What happens when someone has a premature death like in suicide or accident? In the case of premature death, the soul has to wait for the time it was destined to live, before it can take a new body. In the case of suicide, the suffering is much more intense than what would have been…

Can our karma be exhausted by doing charitable service?

Will we contract another person’s karma when they give advice, or touch them? How vulnerable are we to other people’s karma?
Understand, you cannot get karma from somebody else. You have enough of your own! So do not bother about catching karma from another person.

Only acts of service coming from Pure consciousness can be truly effective.

Why do hindus perform rituals ?
Rituals are very powerful tools. They are powerful techniques. Many people ask me, ‘You are enlightened. Why should you then perform rituals?’ I tell them, ‘Because I am enlightened, I am teaching people exactly why and how to perform rituals!’ Enlightened beings do not need any rituals for themselves. A small story: A man went…

You have started to move towards enlightenment when you doubt the promises your mind has been making all along but never fulfilling any.
You are like a wave in the ocean of Existence. The wave rises up from the ocean but it is still connected to the ocean. It may think it has an individual existence but that is just a myth. Whether it is rising, above the ocean or falling down, it is still a part of…

Do we have to wait for the next birth if we feel strongly about something but it is not our prarabdha?
No. You can change your prarabdha through a simple, strong will or sankalpa. The strength of the sankalpa can cause a rebirth in you in this birth itself. The next birth can happen now itself. For example, people, especially householder disciples who feel they are caught up in their responsibilities ask me, ‘Swamiji, please bless…
