Q) Who made "guruji"?
Guruji: From the
moment you called me that!
Q) (This was a question that came online from an Argentinian girl) What do i do - my family
doesn't support my lifestyle. This reduces my prana/energy levels etc.
Guruji: Have patience. What kind of support do you
need from them? Are they not letting you eat what you want or in what way? You should learn to agree to disagree. Different
people have different thoughts and ideologies - it doesn't matter if they don't agree with you and neither is it necessary
that you agree with them. It is important that you be with them and NOT lose your smile. You save your mind and then save
others mind if possible. Don't forget the power of your intentions. It changes people and things. It happens.
Q) How
to handle the emotional imbalance during the teenage years?
Guruji: Why do you want to handle emotional stress??? You got
angry and upset so what? you got angry and then became fine. See in your own life number of times you didn't get what you
want then cried then got back to life.
So the first way is to be aware of your own experiences.
the second way is to
know you have the strength and power to overcome these obstacles.
the third is pranayama and meditation and kriya - all
the practices.
there is no fourth way! :D
Q) (this little boy asks) Where does god stay?
Guruji: ooooooooh!!!
when you grow up a little bit then you'll know where he stays :) (the boy says - i see him in you) guruji says - i see him
in you too!
Q) <something about what guruji said in satsang yesterday about good and bad being present in ever action>
Guruji:
Yes, every action has some good element and bad element to it. you name any one profession to me and i'll tell you both aspects
to it.
Doctor??? ok - you all think doctor is a noble profession right? Once a lady came to me and said - Guruji I am a
psychiatrist please bless me to have at least 4 patients a day!
Education??? teaching is noble isn't it? but a teacher
can only teach when there is ignorance in a student. if everyone were born enlightened would this be of any value? so see
how a teacher is thriving on the ignorance of someone.
Milk is good? yes. But if you take that in excess - it's not.
Vitamins
are good? yes. But if you take that in excess - it's not.
Poison is good? No??? who said it's not? Ask the doctors/pharmacists.
How many doctors here???? Poison is used to save lives isn't it?? (Yes)
So there we go - Milk can kill you and Poison saves
you. What do we say?
That s why it is so important to relax and see life from the larger scale. So if you kill/clean cobwebs
is it good or bad??? if you leave the cobwebs and the spider bites you and you fall ill is it good or bad???
there is a
certain cleanliness that should be observed and it is ok to take certain corrective measures time to time. That's why we should
do the Panchmaha yagya. Just you very existence is enough t kill so many things around you. With ever breath in and out you
are killing. Just digesting food also does that. You don't need to actually do something to cause harm - just your very existence
does it. That's why the Panchmaha yagya is done where you contribute to nature. You do some acts of kindness. This way to
take care of the harm you have done knowingly or unknowingly.
That's what Krishna says in the Bhagwad Gita to Arjuna -
O Arjuna! Foolish is the man who thinks he is killing or being killed. He is just being part of it.
And this is what the
3rd law of Thermodynamics states.- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. it can only be transferred from one state
to another. similar with matter it just changes form.
Q) I have a fear of speaking in public - what do i do?
Guruji:
You just spoke! (the boy stood up and said - that's because you are in front of me now) Do you feel fear now? (no guruji)
that's it - over! you are being watched all over the world :)
Q) what inspires and what inhibits on the path of spirituality?
Guruji:
That you should tell me :) Am i not inspiring enough? (of course you are guruji) then what inhibits (sometimes on the field
nothing seems correct...) sometime i shake the branches/pillar to see if they are strong :) :) (loud applause from everyone)
Q)
Today there was a bomb blast in Varanasi Guruji :( What do we do about terrorism?
Guruji: We need a strong resolve to tackle
this. (For those who saw HIM today - he was very measured and thoughtful for a few seconds before he spoke - almost like he
closed his eyes and went to varanasi and saw the scene there and came back again) Today terrorism is in so many different
forms and we have to stand united to fight this. And this requires a strong administration t tackle this issue. India is stuck
in between the red terrorism and Jihad terrorism It is so unfortunate this is the case. We have to do everything possible
to eradicate this school of thought from the roots itself. Unfortunately this movement is also gaining ground in India. Today
even Pakistan is suffering - there are bomb blasts.
Q) How many Karma's do you burn/take on yourself from us?
Guruji:
Light doesn't need to fight with darkness. When light enters - darkness cannot exist. If a room has been dark from 20 years
it doesn't take another 20 years for it to be lit. Open the window/door/switch on the light and in a fraction is it lit. Darkness
isn;t an entity in itself - it's just the absence of light.
Darkness has no existence and truth has no extinction.
The
more you move towards light - that much more darkness goes away from you.
Q) How can one see rest in action and action
in rest?
Guruji: When you go into meditation. Then you get the Naishkarma siddhi. all just happens and you are witness.
When you sleep the body is active - and that's why babies sleep so much. 12-14 hrs and the body is growing.
When work is
a lot and yet everything is going well you feel like you are doing nothing. How many of you have felt this?? (I raised both
my hands :D :D)
Q) 2 years into AoL but yet i am addicted to materialistic thing - either alcohol or physical attractions.
What do i do to get out of this?
Guruji: Watch your peers/friends and companions. They'll tell you - Arre! come on just
one more "peg" today and things like that.
No - that won't do. Art of Living cannot do this for you. You need to take a
resolve and strong intention. Art of Living gives you the way and techniques to save yourself but if you yourself don't do
it - nothing can save you.
Q) It's easy to give you praise and share/say good things - but negativity how can i surrender
and give you that?
Guruji: In this moment you are free. In the present moment you are innocent. Right now there is no past
and whatever past was there is over - gone. Wake up.
You want to wake up? (Yes) - ok - let's do a wake up meditation NOW.
And
we did the meditation and it was time to come back home!
