Only acts of service coming from Pure consciousness can be truly effective.
Swamiji, You teach us meditation. What is the point of meditation when the rest of the world is suffering? Instead of meditating, we can do some service. A small story: There was once a king who was known to be compassionate. He used to go around his kingdom unannounced to see how his subjects were.…

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…

Will a human be born as an animal, bird or insect or can he be born as human being in the next birth?
For all of us, our total sanchita karma initially was a divine play. For an enlightened master, it is still a divine play as he has no karma at all. Playing because you can play is the divine play. We took birth out of choice. We forgot our prarabdha karma, started gathering agamya karma and…

It is you who chooses what type of body and which parents to take birth to based on your vasanas!
Once the life force leaves the body, within three kshanas, it chooses the next body. At the time of death the three most enjoyed experiences in that lifetime stand out as one’s last thoughts. The choice of the next body arises from the mindset based on these three experiences. These three thoughts will be based…

Be clear, honest to your center, to your understanding. It is perverted understanding that good people suffer and bad people enjoy!
An important thing you should know: accept honor only from the person who has experienced you. He can never dishonor you. Even if he dishonors only he will suffer. You will not suffer. Live on the path of dharma, righteous conduct, having a clear understanding about you and allowing only the people who experience you…

Reaching out to an Enlightened master, doing what the master says and acting without intention is life!
If the depth of the intention is more and the action is less, the person is lazy. He is lazy or in tamas. If the depth of intention and of the action is the same, the person is in restless action or rajas. If there is no intention but only the action, he is in…

Because an Incarnation has no karma, when you flow with Him you will also act without intention and action without intention is living enlightenment!
A beautiful story: There was a beautiful garden with many trees and varieties of flowers and fruits. Three friends were walking near this garden that had a big wall around it. One of them climbed the wall and peeped inside. He cried out, ‘Oh, such a beautiful garden!’ He jumped into the garden and started…

Are you reacting from your past experiences or are you responding like a pure reflection in a mirror with no judgment ?
Karma means action. But action can be of two types. It can either be a reaction or it can be a response. When somebody insults you and you become angry, he has made you behave the way he wanted. Now if he apologizes, your mood suddenly changes. So he is the master. You are behaving…

Actions of an Incarnation, enlightened master can never be without awareness and compassion as HE is in one with Existence!
If a person has committed ten murders, the quantity of murders will not be recorded. But the intensity of the murderer will be recorded. It is the quality, the mindset, and the attitude, that carries the karmic burden. That is why Krishna says again and again in the Bhagavad Gita that intention is much more important…

If you create thoughts, words or actions that do not emanate from deep awareness but from a superficial layer, then you create karma!
You have been told that you will go to hell if you accumulate sins and to heaven if you gain merits. I tell you, society simply uses these concepts to control you through fear of hell and greed of heaven. When you are caught in fear, naturally you are ready to do what society tells…
