Saurabh,
Ans: You need to cool down and for that learn to unwind with meditation. Better come for dhyan shivir which is happening here in ashram. Learn the power of meditation and take charge of your life.

Mataji,
Q: Maa, I am fed up in my life and so my mind is always thinking to die at once but I do not want to take untoward action. If God has written for me to die with untoward action, no one can avoid the same. I have come across too may difficulties but my mind has not thought to take untoward action. But after the death of my first son I have seen what life is and strongly felt to leave everything whatever it may cost and to live like a sanyasi till end of my life. I am unable to write my story and eagerly request you to help me out from all my difficulties.

Dear Ramu,
Ans: You need to understand life isn’t just family and wealth. It is meant to explore the inner consciousness and know the worth of self. It is foolish to think that life is finished if son has died. It was his journey which ended as it will be for everyone but taking ones life is act of cowardice…
Listen to satsang and broaden up your mind. Do Om Namah Shivaya chant as much you can do.

Q: Jai Gurudev…. Twenty two years have passed like a whisker and I can see rest of years fading in the black hole. I see myself as a defeated warrior striving for my life and surrounded on all sides but incarnations of lust, greed, insincerity, impatientness, frustration who have formed an alliance and are continuously pinning me to death. Gurumaa the worst part is that every time I want myself to be changed these devils come and divert my mind. Like when ever I sit for meditation Mr. Impatience keeps visiting me regularly sometimes saying me “Shashank your Back is paining” and sometimes ” Shashank its of no use”… and ultimately leaves a message that Shashank kuch hua tho hai nahi …..u wasted an hour….. Insincerity comes as a chain reaction of this frustration and makes me to postpone my meditation sitting. Mr. Lust is well know to talk about. Though am quite happy that greed does not have its roots too firm in the soil but yes competitiveness has……. Gurumaa what I want to ask is that I know these all vices are in me and it is only me who is watering them and providing them sapid food for their nourishment. I am aware that these vices wont go in a day and will take some years to disappear and will go by seva, satsang and meditation. But I am not getting the start….how can I inculcate patience in me? How can I be sincere? What can I do to have a determination in me as solid as a rock? How can I remove the worm of casuality? I am not able to do it merely by listing….. Many divines had some event in their lives that made them think different from others. Like the carcass which King Ashoka saw…..etc…So is it correct for me to look for some event which can change my life. But isn’t it a waste of time? Gurumaa I don’t know what I have written…. I am in a dual state of mind because of my foolishness and I seek thy blessings and guidance. Plz forgive me for any mistake in the letter.

Q: Why anger, lust, greed, attachment and ego are considered bad? Namaste Gurumaaji! I’ve been following your satsang without fail and would like to be in Thy presence someday. Please remove my ignorance on the following matter which is: It is but natural that anger, lust, greed, attachment, ego is in mankind then why is it considered bad? As it is part of creation, how do we used it wisely or rather what do we do with it? Please enlighten me. Thank you, Love Maya (Singapore)
Dear maya,
Ans: Nothing is bad or good. It is just how we use the faculty of our mind.
Let attachment be for self exploration, let greed be to know more, let ego be that I am ray of God. Learn to disassociate with mind and be free of it.
But this won’t happen by just listening. Some devices need to be learnt and used to come out of mind’s vicious circle.

Q: Guru! Gurumaa ji, as you said, a spiritual person should be hard to himself and be soft to god and guru. What do you mean by hard to himself? Please explain it once again.
Harpinder
Harpinder,
Ans: when I say be hard to yourself I mean to discipline your life, your senses and mind. Mind has a great potentiality to fall down back to those basic animalistic instincts. If you don’t put a check on your mind you will become animal and if you don’t want to be an animal, keep a constant vigilance… in disciplined person cannot be an aspirant.

Q: Please bless me Many obstacles come on the way to Sadhana. Please bless me that I may overcome all the obstacles on my way to Sadhana. Neelam
Neelam,
Ans: The path of sadhna is not for fickle, feeble and those who don’t have consolidation of mind so before you commence your sadhna you have to empower and understand the mechanism of your mind.
