Ms. Bhanu Samykya asked: Padanamaskaram Swami, My mind is my only enemy. It always opposes the spiritual knowledge and God. I have to keep on arguing with it. Sometimes, my current work gets distributed due to these inner arguments with mind. But, getting one's mind to the feet of the Lord is the essence of reading spiritual knowledge. As of now, I only know how to oppose its false...

Swami Replied:- Vrutti means thought or mental impression or a pulse of awareness. If meditation is in deep sleep state, then there is no Vrutti. Except the state of deep sleep, Vrutti exists always. In waken state and dream state Vrutti exists. If Vrutti does not exist, it is certainly the state of deep sleep only. If you give meditation as an alternative name for the state of deep sleep, we can say that Vrutti...

Swami Replied: A demon blessed by God with miraculous power is like a charged laptop containing 100% energy in it to work. The laptop is disconnected from the charger. A demon also has no further contact with God. As we say that a charged laptop is working with its own stored energy in its own battery, a demon with miraculous power exhibiting miracles also feels that the miraculous power...

[A question by Shri Phani]
Swami Replied:- Death is said by Him as inevitable to anybody after taking birth on this Earth (aparihārye'rthe, na tvaṃ śocitu marhasi). The soul is born to die and the soul dies to take birth again. The life of the soul after birth is only the process of walking towards the goal that is death. The life of the soul after death is only the process of spending time to the goal that is birth. When the goal...
Saṃkrānti is transition of Sun from south to north. South is considered to be worldly life (Pravṛutti) and north is considered to be spiritual life (Nivṛtti). The transition of Sun means transition of intellectual knowledge in the form of decision. The Veda says that Moon is born from mind and Sun is born from the eye (Candramā manaso jātaḥ, Cakṣoḥ Sūryo ajāyata). The eye is told as single eye...

Swami Replied: Abhisheka means pouring water on Shivalinga thinking that you are bathing God Shiva. Bathing of God Shiva is only your imagination and actually a stone representing Shiva is bathed. But, this is not totally wrong...
Rayy Light Asked: Dear Swami Ji, Peace and Blessings of God be upon You. I very much appreciate You for Your reply. While reading Your reply, I was wondering what are the commandments of the constitution written by God in which You referred to. My next question is, how can I believe that You are an incarnation of God or someone who has been sent by God?
Swami Replied: The constitution of God is not printed as a book to be available in the shop. All ethical scriptures written by Sages are taken as the constitution of God because they have written while...
[A question by Ms. Lakxmi Thrylokya]
Swami Replied:- Your mother asked Me recently that whether she can take the pilgrimage to Kashi along with your father. Had she asked Me that she alone is going to Kashi, I would have refused it in view of the present conditions of propagation of virus. But she told that she wants to go to Kashi along with your father. If the decision to go to Kashi is taken by your father first and followed...

Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Padanamskaram Swami, Kindly answer the following questions of mine. I have learnt from You that Shri Krishna has liberated all the Gopikas (who succeeded in His tests) by taking all their sins onto Himself. So can we consider those successful Gopikas as sinless souls right? If so, what is the difference between calling God as Sinless and such souls...
Shri Bharath Krishna asked: Do the liberated souls incarnate whenever God incarnates? You (Lord Datta) are there on Earth in every generation. Do liberated souls incarnate to participate in specific divine missions of God...
Shri Bharath Krishna asked: I have learned from You that God’s behaviour will be the same as that of the devotee (Yad bhavam tat bhavati...). Does this apply even when You decide to test a devotee? In such a case the devotee is expressing love but You may act in the opposite...

[One should neither condemn the self nor appreciate the self because both are states of psychological excitation. One shall keep his/her mind in normal balanced state always, which is the best for mental as well as physical health. One shall not criticize God even in dream. One shall always live with confidence or courage, which does not mean ego-based pride. One shall always think about the present...

Shri Jayesh Pandey asked: i. Pranaam Swami Ji! May You protect us all from the arrogance, especially the one which comes from having You, Datta, as Sadhguru himself.
