m m m  Logic is essential. If you see an idol of Goddess Saraswati she is sitting on solid rock.
She has a book in one hand which is logic. In the others she has rosemary beads for meditation and
veena (a musical instrument). Logic, music, mauna (silence) are all essential for total development of
consciousness. "

m m m  I am hearing a new word today. Well, don͛t divide life: this is spiritual or this is
materialistic. Take a holistic view of life. In a temple there is food. In that sense both material and
spiritual aspects are there. Music is both a form of entertainment and spirituality. We even put ornate
clothes on our deities. Ancient people never separated the spiritual and material. They enjoyed putting
precious jewels in temples.

In South India, in Madurai, kings gave away most of their precious jewels to the temples. Everything co-
existed. In the same way you can treat work as worship. It is sacred. Spirituality has entered our material
life. Action is sacred. & " 
 says, ͞Janma karma samay divya͟. '  
 & " 

himself was very much of the material world except for his discourse to Arjuna. All he did was
materialistic. He ruled the country, advised as a minister, and so on. Life should not be
compartmentalized. Materialism and spirituality are not opposed to each other.

However,      



 
   . It will pinch your heart. The spirit
is awake in you. It is your natural instinct. If you have a plate full of food and someone comes to you,
you will not be able to eat it alone. It is such a natural part of your life that you cannot renounce one for
the other. Every spiritual person has to do charity. You want to be compassionate, but how can you be
when you have nothing to give away. Charity cannot happen with an empty bowl.

  is the pinnacle of spiritual life and &# is the symbol of wealth. Both   and &# go
together. m 
  sat on a rock. The knowledge that you have gained will always be with you. &#
sits on a lotus which floats on water. You will never believe what happens in the share market. Wealth is
unsteady just as a lotus floating on water. These are the eternal symbols that convey truth. Grasp what
is needed. This is very important.

m m m  If I say, ͞I have successfully lifted this bottle of water͟, this indicates I was not
confident that I could have done it. Being ambitious is when you are not confident of achieving
something. ͚I ran ten miles. I did not think I would do it͛ - Claiming success indicates your limitation. You
are unaware of your huge potential. But the attitude should be ͚ I ran ten miles? I don͛t realize that I can
also do 100 miles͛!

m m m  I think I am doing my job. If you face any issues, have questions related to energy,
yoga or meditation, you can contact me or one of the teachers at any time. It is good to follow one
technique at a time. It is not good to mix techniques. When you have a deep experience, it is better to
consult a trained teacher. And you can always email me.

m m m  What happens when a television set is switched off? The screen will go blank but
TV waves are still being projected. Our bodies are like a TV screen. Of course the relay station is
elsewhere. (laughter)

m m m  The tendency of the ego is to say ͞I am not crazy, I am proper. Ego is the biggest
problem. Yet it is very easy to overcome. It is a one-day job. Just act like a crazy person. Can you do
that? For one day. Done! Make people believe you have gone completely crazy. It is the best antidote
for ego.͟ If you cannot do this, can you simply behave as a child for the rest of your life? No third option.
Be a baby for the rest of your life or a crazy person. Be one who has attained the essence. Apart from
this, keep the ego. Don͛t try to get rid of it. Do this slowly. Otherwise it is impossible.

When people laugh at you, can you relax? When people point at you, just relax. Smile and accept it. A
mother has no ego. Whatever the children say, she accepts. If they kick , does the mother get
perturbed? If you are unperturbed, you have conquered the ego. Ego is just a feeling of having a wall
between you and others. There is no wall. You belong to me and I belong to you. You are accepted the
way you are.

Naturalness is the antidote for you. Be spontaneous! Ego cannot stand spontaneity. Ego wants to
present everything properly and prepare beforehand. Children are so spontaneous. They make
mistakes. Never mind making mistakes. Just be like a child. Anybody can say anything about you.

Another block we often have is to feel something is not practical. No need to practice anything. Our own
mind is saying it is not practical. We wanted 2,000 Hindustani classical musicians to perform together.
Every teacher said it was impossible. A choir in India! It is not like here with so many people and that
many styles. They have their own octaves. We had a program called Antarnaad. You should see it on
Youtube. There were 2,750 singers. Only one day of practice! Make the impossible possible. We should
remove the block in our own mind. Top musicians were spellbound at the Antarnaad event.

m m m  Why not? God loves diversity. What if there was only okra to eat? But you have
potatoes, tomatoes, beans, all kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers. God seems to love diversity. He
has created so many of us in different shapes, features and colors. He is definitely not a military person,
an army general. A spirit that loves diversity must be diverse in itself too. That is what the rishis (Ancient
saints) found in meditation. There is only one 
 and one .
, but in so many different forms.
See unity in diversity and celebrate diversity. Our rishis in the past had spoken of tolerance, acceptance,
diversity and equal opportunity.

Why the difference? Find the common thread in different religions. According to different places, there
are different customs. Time has created differences. There was one /, now we have thirty-two
forms of Buddhism, one 0

) 
and now seventy-two sects of Christianity, and one $  
1 and now five different sects of Islam. In Hinduism, the variations cannot even be counted!
But everyone believes in the Vedas, the Upanishads. How many different sects? Why should they not be
there? Let it be there. See unity in diversity.

m m m  First of all, don͛t pay any attention at all to the mind. If we pay attention, that's it.
Instead, pranayama, meditation and yoga are very good solutions.

m m m  Is your question that people are not happy in spite of prosperity? Bring them to me.
Bring them to the teachers. They will have no choice but to smile. Stress can be eliminated through
stress management, dispassion and through a broader outlook to life. When you are 90 yrs old what do
you want from this life? What do you want to take? What do you want to give? What impressions do
you want to give to the world? What impressions do you want to take from the world? Just ponder. Just
be with these few questions and the stress will leave you. Dispassion and breath uplift you. A little bit of
devotion or bhakti uplifts you.

m m m  This is a very important question. In the 55 years of my life, I have never said a
harsh word. I could not do it. The worst I have ever said is, ͞You stupid.͟

Sometimes I want to show anger and people don͛t believe me. That is my problem. Things work better
with some anger. Anger is good if you are aware of it. It should last only as long as a line drawn on a
water surface lasts. Some carry over anger from the previous day, previous month, or ten years ago. The
mind suffers. Get out of anger, frustration, jealousy and greed. Meditation will help. $

m m m  Where does thought come from? It comes from a free mind or an un-free mind?
Thoughts are not free. So, you have answered the question. Free your mind of thoughts for a few
moments. When astonished, shocked, in deep love, samadhi, meditation or deep sleep, your mind is
free from thoughts. You get energized then.
