Shri P V N M Sharma asked:- “In Bhakti TV channel I found one person by name Shri E K Girish preaching monism that the soul is supreme and can do anything if self confidence is developed. Please analyse this point.
Swami Replied:- Let a human soul develop its self-confidence for any number of years that it can lift a hill, can it lift the hill by its self-confidence on any day? If it thinks that it will lift the hill on one day by improving more self-confidence, it is called as overconfidence. Therefore, the soul can’t do everything by developing self-confidence, which is just in the theoretical phase. The concept of self-confidence works...
God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:- All the eight types of miraculous powers (Ashta Siddhis) are the powers created by Me only. I give these powers to My devotee, who is involved in the propagation of My spiritual knowledge in this world.

God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:- O Son of scholar called as Veerabhadra! This world, created by Me, is like Your imaginary world created by You when You are in awaken state. As far as its material and structure is concerned, it is as good as Your dream. But, Your dream shall not be compared to My imaginary world (this real world). The difference is that in Your dream, the creator (Yourself) is bound by Your dream. I am not bound by My imaginary world. You are also not bound by Your imaginary world...
Mr. Mathew asked: Hello. Nice to talk to you. I found some of the Swami's responses on Quora. I have few questions, and it will be helpful if these will be BRIEFLY answered. Detailed explanations are not needed. 1) Why do you have positive thoughts on Islam?...
Swami Replied: You shall not put the condition that I shall be brief in My answer without detailed explanation. Sometimes, brief answers will mislead and do not represent the truth from all sides. Generally, I will follow the briefness as far as possible because...

Swami gave the following answers after reading the explanation of each question as given by Dr Nikhil.
1) What is the difference between a ray-incarnation and partial incarnation?
Answer:- Both possess the same quality and quantity of unimaginable power since same unimaginable God exists in both. In the case of the ray-incarnation, the requirement of program of the incarnation is the expression of a ray of power only...
God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:- If a soul is constantly involved in the spiritual journey and requires some more time to finish the journey, I will give human rebirth to that soul to complete its effort. If the soul is not involved in spiritual effort, no human rebirth is given. I have told this when I incarnated Myself (as Jesus) in foreign country. But, people have misunderstood and said that I have said that there is no rebirth to any soul. The sinner is thrown into hell permanently...

Disciple of Datta (Datta Swami) spoke:- 1) What is meant by charging and incarnation? How can I see Your original nature? In this world, all items are doing works by spending their own energy. You might be doing works above this world. How can You say that You are doing all the works? 2) If You say that You are doing all the works, You must enjoy the fruits of all the works. If You say that You are alone the awareness and the whole world is inert, why the living beings alone are thinking and not other inert objects? How the awareness is the inert energy itself...
God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:- Oh! Son of Hanumaambaa! As You exist with Your body create Your imaginary world, I also exist with My body creating My imaginary world, which is this real world for You.

Swami Replied:- Shri Surya has sent your question to Me for giving you the answer. When you are serving God in His program, certainly disturbances will come. In the initial stage, you have to solve your problems and you have to do service in the rest time, after solving your problems. This will be serving God partially. It is not wrong because nobody can become perfect...

God-preacher Shri Datta spoke:-
God-preacher Shri Datta spoke: 1) Vacant space is said to be formless item by scholars. The other three elements:- air, fire and water are also formless taking the form of container. The fourth element, solid earth is said to have specific form with its own boundaries. 2) These five elements look infinite to the human mind. Am I a formless item like the prior four elements? Am I having a form like solid earth with specific boundaries? As unimaginable God, I am beyond these five elements and hence, beyond the concepts of form and formless. My medium or this body is made of items having form and no form. Since I am identifying with this medium, I am not only beyond form and formless but also form and formless...
[Shri Datta Swami did penance at the holy temple of Shri Datta situated in the cave of hill at Yatitapahsthala for three days without food, water and sleep. On the fourth day, Shri Datta appeared before Him and the divine conversation between both was composed by Shri Datta Swami in Sanskrit verses in the form of this book, having sixteen chapters equally distributed in four parts called as Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva and Kaalabhairava Khandas.
