Swamiji, ‘‘Whatever you are saying is correct, but…’. The moment you say ‘but’ to Me, you have missed!
When I told the story of Satyakama to a group of people, one person asked me, ‘Maybe these techniques are for highly evolved souls. In that story, the disciple gets enlightened when the master just blesses him. He must have been a highly evolved soul for that to happen. I told that person, ‘No, it…

Devalaya (temple) is a space where you connect and relax in the lap of Existence and pay obeisance to the cosmic force which is mightier than the intellect!
There is a famous saying, ‘If you worry, then you didn’t pray. If you prayed, then don’t worry.’ In today’s world of science and knowledge, the call of the being needs to be addressed compassionately and immediately. Spirituality is the way. Spirituality is a straight path to surrender worry and be free. It is a tremendous…

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…

Acceptance is the deep humility towards the profound Existence that takes care of everything including you
Immense trust leads to surrender. Surrender is simplicity of the heart. It is the knowing that you do not have to decide about the Truth, that you just have to go by it. When you awaken to the powerful presence of the Truth, surrender happens. If you observe your pet dog, you will find that…

When your being is completely open with a deep ‘yes’ to Existence, the darshan of Avatar will leave a deep impression of truth in your being!
When you are innocent, you are vulnerable to everything that Existence wants to teach you! If you are closed, you create a wall around you. The wall neither allows fresh breeze to touch your being nor does it allow you to step out and touch the cool breeze. Vulnerability is breaking the wall and inviting…

If we nurture the being and cause the doing to happen from the quality of the being, then we don’t have to work so much for the having
There are three important states: being, doing and having. Right now, we move from doing to having. We continuously ‘do’ things. We learn and we put the learning into useful action. We then ‘have’ what we want: money, relationships, comfort, and what not. Then we want to have better things or have more things and…

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…

Intelligence recognizes the mystery of the present moment and surrenders to it joyfully out of innocence
There are three ways to ask a question. You can ask out of innocence, or you can ask out of knowledge to show that you too know, and third, you can ask to confirm that what you know is correct. When you ask out of innocence, you are completely ready to receive the answer. When…

If there is implicit openness and innocence the learning can be received from the Avatar who imparts learning every moment
The word upanishad means ‘sitting at the feet of the master’. In ancient India, there was the gurukul tradition of masters and disciples. Children were left with the master at the age of seven and they grew up centering beautifully in their consciousness. Masters are living embodiments of the scriptural truths. Their thoughts, words and…

How can mere listening lead to enlightenment ?
Just this moment accept yourself in the outer world and the inner world. You will go out enlightened. For so many years, completely accepting what the master said, Satyakama just was. What else can happen to him but enlightenment? You may think, ‘How can simple acceptance do such a big job?’ The problem is that…
