ALL ? OF UR LIFE TURN INTO !





How do we handle the Mind?
Ans:
When you throw a small pebble ina pond it creates a few ripples, in a bucket of water maybe some water splashes out, in a lake a few more ripples may arise, but in a river or ocean if yoiu throw a pebble, it goes unnoticed.Smiliarly situations will arise in your life in the form of a pebble.Now its up to you as to how you train your mind.Tapas can make your mind stronger i.e the willingness to go through discomfort.


Guruji, I like this path of Spirituality, Sadana, Seva in the Satsang, but sometimes I get bored. Is it alright to get mischievious at times?


Guruji: Yes, yes, but not at someone’s cost . You know when you are happy, small things can make you laugh, that is when your mind is stress free. If your mind is stressed you cannot laugh even to a big joke. When I go to retreat programmes. And if I am going up and down in the lift, and in the Lift sometimes people come with me in the lift and they just simply start laughing.


Guruji, Man is intelligent, but why animals lead a more healthy life? They do not suffer diseases and they are in harmony?
Guruji : You want to go back to animals!?!?! ?(Laughter) , but you are correct. Animals don’t go to the restaurant in the middle of the night and eat fast foods. Animals sleep at the right time and gets up at the right time.

They go for prey every day. They don’t store like man does. Mankind is exploiting nature so much. You know in Bangalore, we grew up with so many sparrows It is almost disappearing now.
(Someone from the crowd): But Guruji, ashram has sparrows.

Guruji
: yes, yes, Ashram has sparrows, peacocks, elephants, rabbits;

Someone prompts from the crowd: Guruji, monkeys also.

What is success?
Guruji:
Success follows ability; ability comes when you have skill. And skill comes when you are quite. Real success is when you have smile, and no one can take that from you.

Q: What motivate someone to take decision?
Guruji:
It is different in different cases, sometimes it is just a smile.

Q: Guruji, what should we focus on commitment towards family or seva.
Guruji:
Commitment towards the family is the first thing.
