Swami answers questions of devotees

1. Will You please explain what are the characteristics of each worldly bond?

[Shri Uday Boya asked: Padanamaskaram Swami! In yoga, wheels or lotus flowers represent strong worldly bonds such as Mother, Father, Life partner, Child, False preacher. Will You please explain what are the characteristics of each bond which helps me to self-analyse my progress!]

Swami replied:- Dhaneshanaa, the bond with wealth has no significance at all if the spouse and children are absent. The bond with spouse and children shall be realized as false love because the wife /husband and children love you for their happiness only and not for your happiness (Ātmanastu kāmāya…- Veda).

2. Is an extremely opposite quality, like anger of Durvasa turning to love, possible for an ordinary soul? Kindly reveal the path.

[Smt. Sudharani asked: Padanamaskaram Swami. Thank You Swami for caring and nurturing me every minute. Swami sage Durvasa could transform his anger into continuous love in his next birth as Radha. Is such an extremely opposite quality modification possible in the case of an ordinary soul? And also kindly reveal the path. Always at Your Lotus Feet. Sudharani.]

Swami replied:- Any quality has both good and bad faces and the quality becomes good or bad as you turn its good and bad faces respectively. If anger is used to cause pain to a good person, anger becomes a bad quality. If anger is used to punish a bad person, anger becomes a good quality.
