Obedience Let’s talk about obedience. When western mind hears the word obedience one is not delighted with it. That word has strong impact on the mind, kind of an attack of personal freedom and will. To be obedient is connected to the picture of strictness and rigidity of the

The time is now to live, to celebrate God and gift of life. The time is now to grow, to overcome limitations, to transcend the state of spiritual slumber and forgetfulness. The time is now to break all attachments with wrong identifications, ideas and divorce from useless

How can one dedicate oneself completely to seva, Whatever you see, it belongs to Sri Hari ,it is for no other purpose, rather it is for the joy and service of the SadGuru. For that we must really understand what is seva? When we reverse the two syllables - se-va, it becomes

What is emotional intimacy in the context of building and developing the relationship with God? How we can be intimate, especially emotionally intimate, with someone who seems invisible and too allusive to us? Tricky question but it is valid no matter how contradicting it may

Sharangati Ati Durlabh Param Sundar Surrender of the self to Bhagavan is so simple but we complicate it so badly. All our lifetimes of karma, thoughts, and emotions stop us from giving up even a single piece to someone else freely. Our minds are also caught in the same trap as
