1. How do You prove that planet sun doesn't have intelligence?
[Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, I had a spiritual conversation with one of my colleagues at office. He says that since Sun is the cause of entire life on earth, Sun has intelligence. I told him that Sun as a planet doesn't have intelligence but there is a deity (with energetic form) who rules Sun known as "Sun God". I asked him whether Sun (planet) can give life to a dead body? He said, yes Sun (planet) can make a dead body alive if you pray. I said that Sun can't give life back to a dead body and nowhere in our puranas or anyone's life this was experienced. I also said that Sun God as a deity has the power to do that. Then he questioned me like this, "how do you prove that sun (planet) doesn't have intelligence?" I didn't know how to answer that question. How to respond to such a question Swami? Your servant, Bharath Krishna.]
Swami replied:- The word ‘Sun’ is used to mean both the inert planet and the deity of Sun having awareness. The inert planet does not have even the basic awareness and one need not speak of intelligence. It is a well known fact in the entire scientific world. If your friend asks you to prove the absence of intelligence in the Sun globe, the mental derailment is very near to your friend. Intelligence exists in the deity of Sun-planet.
2. What is the difference between Your Grace and the fruit of Your Grace?
[Ms. Geeta Lahari Bandi asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, Kindly explain the difference between Your Grace and the fruit of Your Grace. Thank You Swami.]
Swami replied:- What is the difference between the flash of fire and the burning of hand put in the fire?
3. Please guide me in my understanding.
[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: Namaste Swami, You blessed me so much. I am always thinking how to talk to You, how to meet You although I know it is disturbance to You. I have so much bad experiences in my life, but every time I convince myself that God is only one who always loves me. Now a days I feel like You abandoned me and i am getting mad, i am experiencing sleepless nights, headache and getting depression. Your devotees suggest me to talk to You personally (when I contact them) but You don't want to talk to me when I call You. I am unable to understand my mistake. I couldn't understand logic behind Your behaviour, I am unable to bear this pain and unable to control my emotions. Please don't suggest me to read any stothras, I am unable to chant anything other than Your name. Please forgive me if I am asking anything wrong.
I request You to please inform me before two days at what time I can visit You whenever you come to Vijayawada. There is no one to inform me about You. Thank You Swami]
Swami replied:- You should control your emotions and try to get full benefit of My spiritual knowledge, which alone generates systematic emotions that lead you to practical service and sacrifice. When a ladder exists to climb the roof, you must travel step by step on the ladder. If you overlook the systematic steps, you will fall down and the injuries will give you pain. This path is very narrow filled with thorns and very rarely people walk in this path. The path to hell is a big national highway covered with rose flowers and crowds of people are always walking on it.
