In this world, human life's main support is ego & because of ego there is emergence of intellect. Nature of this intellect is to make one emotional. One often says, 'I have so much love & attachment towards you', but this attachment has occurred through intellect & it ultimately causes pain & suffering. This is because emotional attachment is not real attachment. Real attachment or real love is heartily. Only an enlightened being can unfold true meaning of attachment. Fo...

The ego of being father or mother or mother-in-law or husba...

But have we ever wondered that how...

The biggest ignorance in this world is unawareness of 'Who am I', 'Who runs this world', 'Who is the doer'. Whenever we ask someone that does everything happen according to your will? Then often we get the answer as 'No', don't we? Then does it not create a doubt in our mind that who must be the real doer? And don't we also say, 'I am suffering because of the karmas I have bonded.' But when were these karmas bonded? If we ourselves have bonded these karmas then why have ...

In ordinary language people who practice rituals are called religious people. Practice of true religion should bring some result. If someone insults us & that affects us then religion we have practiced has not brought any result. What is religion? Because of which insulting words don't hurt us, anger-pride-deceit-greed starts reducing. Despite of following religion, at the time of difficulty we forget religion, don’t we? In reality performing of rituals is not true relig...

Religion always teaches us 'to do this' & 'to do that'. In that, if our merit karma is unfolding, things happen according to our will, which makes us believe that our religious practice has paid off. On the other hand if our demerit karma is unfolding, things go against our will, which makes us believe that something must be lacking in our religious practice & that we should put in more efforts. In this way we are caught in the mud of doership which takes us away from th...

Except for humans all other beings conduct their worldly interaction through their senses, intellect, etc. Only we humans are blessed with speech. But often we misuse it, don't we? Especially when something doesn't happen as per our will, we immediately back answer or hurt others through our speech & we end up hurting others as well as ourselves. What kind of adjustment should we take so that we don't get hurt by other’s speech and at the same time others don't get hurt ...

This world consists of many religions but they all are 'Relative' in nature. Relative because there one practices & practicing religion is an act of doing. Who is the one practicing religion? The one who is bearer of the name e.g. 'I am David, My name is David. I practice this religion'. The foundation of all these are beliefs. Wherever there is support of any kind be it from mind or speech or body and belief of 'I am David' are all 'Relative' religions. And if one follo...

Only an enlightened being who has passed through all the layers of mind & intellect, who has come into the light of knowledge, can unfold the facts of this world. Acts done by body are all external mechanism whereas the thoughts that arise, chit (subtle component of vision & knowledge) that wanders, decision that intellect takes, signing by ego is all internal mechanism. When one becomes separate from this external & internal mechanism and comes into the state of enlight...

Similar is the case with money. When one faces a low phase financially, one should increase Satsang. Sooner or...

Big ascetics & priests say that the mind wanders; it is the reason for worldly wandering; steady the mind; if one controls the mind then everything will be sorted. But in reality mind is not at fault. Chit (subtle component of vision and knowledge in the inner functioning instrument called antahkaran) has become impure & it is the Chit that keeps on wandering. Mind cannot go out of the body. Whereas Chit wanders inside as well as outside the body. As long as Chit is impu...

Whether in wife or children or worldly interaction or mother-in-law? All relations of this world are relativ...

Principles are of great importance in spirituality. In worldly science 2H+O=H2O which is water, if we increase or decrease 1 atom of hydrogen or oxygen then it won't form water. This is a principle which is non-contradictory & unchangeable. Similarly, circumstances of this world generate & disintegrate through coming together & separation of elements of soul, non-self & other eternal elements. This talk is also based on principle. Now if a scientist separates hydrogen & ...

When words will stop, world will automatically stop.” Only 1 bad word of ours can cause fight & at the same time 1 sweet word can also stop the fight. “You don't understand the other person, you have no brains.” One should refrain from using such words as it binds karmas that brings veil on knowledge. Even if we happen to speak badly we should cover it up with sweet words. If we ...
