As a sadhak what to do first thing in morning

Ans: nothing. Decondition. Not add more conditioning.

Q: How to console myself for time with you?

Ans: Time with Me is never enough. It’s a good complaint and grievance to have :) I don’t need to evolve anyway. I just read your problems even tjouh they aren’t worth reading. For your satisfaction I glance through, knowing you are going to be Ok.

Q: what do you want from me?

Ans: Good question to keep. Do a lot of work for the foundation, bring knowledge to every doorstep. Keep asking me I’ll give you many things to do

Q: how to let go of deep sense of sadness

Ans: sadness maybe but not deep. You are sad bcos you haven’t gone deep. Drop it. Your cravings, aversions , hooking into pleasure have brought you sadness. That’s it. Invoke valor, don’t care for pleasure. Kick your craving for sex, food, appreciation and praise from others, your sadness will go with the wind. You will be bubbling with joy, more centered independent and self reliant. For all the above you rely on others. And when you have to rely on others you will become sad. You are joy. We make a habit of being in a gloomy state of mind and that takes over. It may seem a little hard listening to me now. Again and again you have to hammer it to yourself. That’s why knowledge and wisdom are so important. Else you’ll get sucked into maya so easily. Wise pray only one thing - let me be saved from this maya. Let me not succumb to the maya.

Q: what’s the purpose of marriage. Is dharma of woman just to be wife and mother?

Ans: you have answered your question! Ask yourself if you’ve given 100% to the relationship. When relationship breaks down there’s two sides to it. Is there any part you can mend. You don’t have to suffer all your life. Leave an abusivo relationship if you have to. But b4 taking that step give 100%. Being single or married are both difficult. The other shore is always greener. No guarantee a new relationship will go on well. Changing boat when you can’t row you won’t reach the shore. Easy to accuse someone. They can’t come out of it even though they know. Help them grow and come out of their shortcoming. Lie is short. Both of you will kick the bucket. No need to kick each other to no avail or emotionally blackmail each other. Think with clarity in mind and right intention.

Q: How to cultivate gratitude?

Ans: virtue of gratitude comes by memory. 

1. Where you are to where you were.

2. Think of all that you have received in life. Compare with others who aren’t that inteligent. Fools are in abundance. 

3. Be awake and see all that you have received in your life and the moment you feel you are fortunate you will feel grateful.

4. 

5. Don’t try to increase your gratitude 

Q: what rondó about laziness

Ans: read yoga sutras. Sometimes you get lot of restlessness. You can neither rest nor be active. Chaotic and state of confusion in mind. You can’t even pinpoint what is your problem or what to do about it. These are some obstacles in the path. They come for a little while and go away. Maharishi Patanjali says you sit and chant Om a few times it takes away all these and even ill health goes away. Feeling ONS vibration is circulating in all the organs, you will feel relief.

Q: ok to chant ONS internally?

Ans: loud chanting or listening ok. Not internally (Om also not internal only loud)

Q: i see dead people .Is it maya?

Ans: focus on yourself. I will take care of you and others. Art of Living is a zoo. Ppl of all mindsets and tendencies are here. Don’t be scared about snakes or lions or too charmed by parrots or peacocks. Every type is here. That’s why it’s whole. The ultimate knowledge encompasses everything. 

Q: Friend suicide. What can I do?

Ans: There is a bigger force taking care. You mind your own business and move on. Your meditation center fess and happiness will reach beyond this realm. 

Q: How come everyone asks you to bless for desires? Can’t we just let nature do it’s job?

Ans: that’s a wiser decision :). Two ways masters adopt - Nip the desire at the bud. I took different stance - fulfil the desire and move on. Either grant or nipping at bud are both same. But don’t hang on there. There’s something more. 

Q: Is rising in love a happening? 

Ans: Rising in love is all in wisdom and that’s what we are doing. Without wisdom you can’t rise in love.
