Swami answers questions of Shri Durgaprasad

1. Can I have oral discussion of Your knowledge with my wife and other family members?

[Shri Durgaprasad asked: Paadanamaskaaram Swami, this is regarding Your message to devotees about spiritual discussions. Can I propagate Your knowledge through oral discussions with my wife and other family members who are not ready to read Your messages directly? Kindly enlighten me. At Your lotus feet, -Durgaprasad]

Swami replied:- Certainly one shall start the propagation of spiritual knowledge from home. You may succeed or fail. Whatever may be the result, then only you shall start doing propagation outside your home.

2 Will the statement 'Vaishvanaro bhutva..' mean the temporary entry of God in all living beings?

[Paadanamaskaaram Swami, Will the statement 'Vaishvanaro bhutva..' from Gita mean temporary entry of God in all living beings when they are hungry? At Your lotus feet, -Durgaprasad]

Swami replied:- When God said that He becomes the Vaishvanara fire, it means such fire is under the control of God and thus, God develops connection with the hunger fire so that when you feed the hungry person, God is pleased. At this stage, you shall not analyze the merits and defects of the hungry person. First, you must save the life of the living being so that such soul may have the future opportunity to become the devotee of God. Several atheists turned in to theists and became very high devotees of God.
