Swami answers questions of Shri Anil

1. Why were those observing the dance of Krishna with Radha either blind or mentally disabled?

[Shri Anil asked: The devotees, who wanted to observe the dancing of God Krishna with Radha and Gopikas in Brundaavanam at night, such devotees became either blind or mentally disabled. What is the reason that they become blind or mad?]

Swami replied:- The devotees wanted to test the miraculous power of God rather than believe God and enjoy His beauty and greatness in Raasaliila. The intention of the devotee is not devotion but disbelief desiring proof. Hence, they became blind or mad.

2. How to control and turn the rajasika and tamasika qualities into sattvika quality especially during speech?

[Dear Swami, I am very harsh and direct in speech when interacting with others. Due to this, enmity arises. How to control and turn the rajasic and tamasic qualities into sattvic quality especially during speech? -At Your Divine Lotus Feet -anil]

Swami replied:- If you always live confirming that God is the greatest and all human souls including yourself are just peanuts before God, your harshness will disappear because harshness is useless in the light of this concept.
