A basic cognitive shift or a basic psychological revolution, with the simple understanding that what you are seeing may not be reality as you think, can bring tremendous inner healing inside you, can bring a great restful awareness inside you
You may wonder, ‘How is it that every day when I come back to the waking state, I see the same world but every night when I go back to the dream state, I don’t see the same world? This question forms the basis of your idea that the waking state is a permanent reality.…

Only when you have a clear understanding about the self (jeeva), world (jagat) and god (ishwara), you can meditate. Until then, any technique that you try, will seem to fail at some point in time.
In the beginning you have to practice meditation in life. You have to consciously introduce meditation into your lifestyle. Choose a technique, practice for half an hour or one hour a day. See how you feel. If you enjoy a technique, stick to it for at least ten days without expecting results. If a technique…

When awareness is present, your ego can’t exist. When your ego exists, awareness can’t be present!
You may have a medically fit body. That does not mean you are completely healthy. Of course, I can say from my experience of having seen millions of people, ninety- nine per cent of those who do not have the ‘self-healing clarity’ in their system are never able to maintain even physical health. When I…

Benefits of Meditation
Meditation has the power to transform you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Let me explain what I mean by health in these four areas. Physical health means digesting whatever you eat and having that food become part of your body. Mental health means digesting all the ideas and problems that you encounter and forming a…

The purpose of meditation itself is to bring the fourth state of turiya into our waking state and deep sleep state
The more we meditate, the more our awareness increases, and the closer we move to the consciousness of the fourth or turiya state. Turiya itself means fourth. You cannot give an exact name to this state. It is known by many other names: samadhi, enlightenment, atmagnana, brahmagnana, nirvana, satori, to name some of them. They…

What meditation can do and why meditation needs to be practiced ?
We experience two states of mind in our day-to-day life, one is with thoughts, the other is without thoughts. We know we have thoughts when we are awake. In deep sleep, do we have thoughts? No. So there are two states of mind: with thoughts and without thoughts.

What should one do if you they are new to meditation ?
The first thing is, be sincere. Keep an open mind. Have the openness to experiment. Be enthusiastic. There is a beautiful term in the Zen tradition to describe the attitude – the beginner’s mind. It means looking at every single thing in life as new, so everything in life excites you. The second thing is,…

Meditation is just being. It is experiencing the present moment without resistance
Meditation is falling in tune with nature, with Existence. This is your natural state, your true state of bliss. This is connecting with the Ultimate Consciousness. You see, the universe or the macrocosm is made up of the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and space. In the same way, the body, the microcosm,…

The word ‘ananda’ itself means, ‘that which cannot be reduced, which cannot be lost’
What is your ultimate aim in life? To earn more? To stay forever young, healthy, beautiful? To have better, longer-lasting relationships? To improve your personality? The list is endless. For each individual, there will be a specific goal or many goals. But every single goal, without exception, points to the same thing: a yearning to…

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. An ordinary teacher will try to build things, teach things, create systems and setups from which you can’t leave. But with the…

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.
