Shri Phani asked Shri Swami to explain more about the necessity of pravrutti or path of justice as pre-requisite for entering Nivrutti or spiritual life.
Shri Swami replied: It is incomplete understanding about Pravrutti to think that Pravrutti is one field of subject and Nivrutti is another field of subject. People think that Pravrutti is related to the balance of the society, which pleases God because God is the administrator of the society created by Him. According to them, Nivrutti is totally different, which is confined to the bond with God...
[Guru Pournima Day 2nd Message] Guru Pournima indicates the full moon destroying the darkness-ignorance through full moonlight-knowledge. The knowledge involves two parts: 1) Pravrutti or teaching the discipline and 2) Nivrutti or teaching the main subject. The headmaster (or principal) of school (or college) concentrates more on the discipline than the subject. Of course, he clarifies the doubts of even the teachers...
[Guru Pournima Day] 1) Shri Anil asked “You said in the previous message that God has given the best fruit. In such case, there is no need of any change of it in the life time. Please clarify this point”.
Shri Swami replied: The best fruit means the best way of treatment of the soul. The variation of the intensities of the fruit as per the change in the requirement is the very salient feature of the treatment. Best fruit doesn’t mean a lot of gold, which need not be varied. Here, the best fruit means the best way of treatment of disease...

For Scholars Posted on: 17/07/2015[Fourth Part of Dr. Nikhil’s questions] More clarification about 1) the classification of inertia and awareness and 2) the concept of freedom given by God to human beings is projected here in detail.
Both inertia and awareness are the two sides of the same coin of energy, which is created by God in the beginning. Inertia is inherent nature of the energy and hence the energy is called as inert energy. Awareness is a specific work function of this inert energy and is given separate place due to its special specific status. The computer system working in a robot can be called as almost awareness...
For Scholars Posted on: 15/07/2015[Third Part of Dr. Nikhil’s Questions] We can conclude all the above discussions by categorizing the whole subject in to three phases.
Unimaginable Phase: The existence of unimaginable entity can be noted in two ways: 1) the unimaginable boundary of this infinite universe is a standing proof for the existence of unimaginable entity. If you reach the edge of this imaginable universe, you must find something, which is different from imaginable phase. Beyond the edge of this imaginable universe, if you find again imaginable...
For Scholars Posted on: 30/06/2015Dr. Nikhil asked: “If space itself is God's awareness, how can God's wish charge it? How was the wish generated? God's awareness must precede space. God's awareness should come first. His wish should come second. Space should come third. Then His wish can enter space but His wish being not different from Him means that God Himself enters space. It becomes a case of homogeneous entry. Without homogeneous entry, evolution of creation can't happen”.
Shri Swami replied: First I shall give the background of the topic in detail so that your questions can be answered clearly at the end. First Part: 1) God wished to create this world. This means that God created the wish in the beginning. Awareness and wish are not at all different. Even if one feels that they are different, it does not matter since both come under the headline of creation only and not the Creator. Creation means both the process of creation...
Shri Ajay asked: How to co-ordinate the concept of God in the day to day practical life?
Swami Replied: The day to day practical life involves the fulfilment of desires through our sincere and continuous efforts, which give us the fruits of the corresponding desires. This is the essence of the life of any ordinary human being called as Pravrutti. If you take the case of an atheist, he proceeds along with the Pravrutti only without mixing it with God or Nivrutti. For him, there is no God and he does not fear for the non-existent...
Shri Anil asked: “Even in the case of servants of God doing the divine service with full sacrifice (saints), you say that 0.1% or 1% sin exists due to the corresponding leakage of sperm in unnoticed way or hand practice respectively.” This means that even the servants of God are punished for small sins also.
Shri Swami replied: The sin is recorded in the personal file of the individual soul as per the normal rule of divine administration. The recorded sin is not punished in this world and is postponed to list of punishments to be exhibited in hell after death. Thus, the saint escapes the punishment here. Before his death...
Prof. Annapurna asked “Swami! Please explain Maya and Mula Maya more clearly in a simple way”.
Shri Swami Replied: Generally the word Maya is used in world to mean something, which is false but made appear as true creating wonder. The meaning of the root word of Maya means that which is wonderful. Another meaning for the word maya means that which actually does not exist. For example, the magic performed by a magician stands for the maya. He takes a piece of cloth and puts in a small vacant box...
