Q: My parents want me to get married to someone I don’t want to?
Sri: You have to take the decision.
I always say ‘choice is yours, blessing is mine’.
Q: What is your wish regarding Sanskrit language?
Sri: I see beyond the language.
Language of course has its place.
I am more concerned about the consciousness and the state of mind.
How can we raise the level of consciousness in the world?
That is what I am concerned with.
Of course Sanskrit is a great and beautiful language.
It is the mother of many languages including English.
Languages like Russian, German, English or other Indian languages, all have their roots in Sanskrit.
Q: In Patanjali yogasutra you said ‘Knowledge of sleep leads to Samadhi.
Sri: Yes, Samadii can also be attained with the avlamban of knowledge of sleep and dream.
(neend and swapan ke gyan ke avlamban se bhi Samadhi lag sakti hai) .
We will discuss in detail later on.
Q: How can we know if our devotion has fully matured or not.
Sri: Don’t worry about your devotion is matured or not.
Know that devotion is there.
Never think that you don’t have devotion or you lack in devotion.
Q: How do one balance between heart and brain when both say opposite things?
Sri: If you dealing in business then follow your brain.
And if it comes to home or relationship then follow your heart.
Q: Good and bad thoughts come and go in mind.
Do these form karma?
Sri: No, when you witness thoughts coming and going, no karma is formed.
When you feel sad thinking it is your thought and it is bad, then your mind gets affected.
Q: Please talk about karma and karam fal(fruit of action).
Sri: You have asked this question – this is a karma.
I am giving you the answer – your listening to the answer is also karma.
Life is karamfal only.
Q: Guruji please tell us something about vedic mathematics?
Sri: We have vedic mathematics department in the Ashram and several vedic mathematics teachers in the department.
Why don’t you talk to them?
There are some 16 – 17 formulas using which many mathematical problems can be solved.
All lovers of mathematics should study that.
Q: What has more importance moksha(enlightenment) or divine love in spirituality?
Sri: Those who don’t bother about happiness achieve moksha and those who are not even bothered about moksha attain divine love.
We will have to move ahead in two steps.
Q: Why is not every human being pure?
Sri: Every human is pure but filled with dirt.
Every human being is like a diamond.
The fact that the diamond is in mud, no way makes it mud.
You simply have to pick it up and wash it.
And it shines again.
The shiny nature of diamond is always there but covered with mud and slush.
Q: How do one balance between professional life and spiritual life?
Sri: You know how to ride bicycle or motor bike?
How do you balance?
You just do it.
You just balance.
