Every time I say this guru is the best, or this monk knows how to deliver the message better, India surprises with a better guru and monk. I am from the middle east but I feel that India and Indians are blessed to live among gurus that open the chance for people to be able to get through this life, this Maya for Indians and other nationalities. Gurudev thank you for the goodness of your heart and eyes and for the smile that never leaves your face. I am blessed tonight to have met you and thank you India for the help you give to the world. I am a better person because of your gurus and monks. And jesus christ of course. I wish people could understand that it is never about the messenger and his nationality, it is about the message and our awakening and enlightenment.

A great master in this Kalyuga. His words are food for our souls in this stressful world.

[@vrinda1258]

Agree😍

[@Andrewbliss44]

Karma’s example according to me is simple, if you eat cake you get a sweet and wonderful taste as a consequence. Good actions good result. And if you consume something bitter, you have a bitter taste in your mouth. BUT sometimes this something bitter turns out to be a very useful medical pill which was needed to cure your aliment .

[@TheParul71]

Maravilloso. Gracias amado Gurudev. JGD 🙏💞💞💞

[@padmamohanable]

The last question, ‘WHERE WILL THE SOUL GO AFTER CLEARING ALL KARMA?’….was not answered aptly. It is said that ultimately every Soul has to be merged with the source! Please clarify Gurudev🙏🏼

[@Honest5]

It is a simple thing. When all karma cleared, the soul just disappears from existance. In the existance there is one thing is true and that is the Almighty which has no form. The souls are the illusion.... and travelling in this illusion..... till it get to know that it is in an illusion. Once the soul knows that it is an illusion and it is in a field of illusion..there it's illusory journey ends and disappears.

[@mnayak9348]

Soul becomes immortal after washing away bad karma and it merge with God . No more born and reborn

[@sharatsahu3689]

[@vibhaspalding6457]

Most of us in tge world are in 3rd density. The idea we are born to evolve higher, like 5th, 6th, 7th density. It is possible in this current lifetime to evolve or ascend to 7th density. Before that happens, you need to remove 51% of bad/negative karma. This is a possibility in current lifetime. This is by forgiveness, showing gratitude, have love and compassion to all living beings and spreading love and light. A lot of this through meditation and prayers. It is also important to live your life based on these actions and thoughts. Remove jealousy, evil deeds, dishonesty etc. As a human on the path of ascendment, will intuitively understand and have a knowing between right and wrong. Once you are awakened, you would be driven to understand all these and focus on those virtues. I hope this resonates with all or some of the people who read this.

[@vibhaspalding6457]

Also as guru stated being born again is not so painful as you would be born in service of god and always be joyful. It is true if we are not happy, it is because we are always thinking of our own happiness. Joy needs to be from what we can do for others, do something to others by bringing some joy, happiness, smiles to them. However, this does not mean we let people manipulate us. One would intuitively know when someone is being manipulative, when one is on the path of righteousness.

[@aparajitajethi6490]

Please guide me Gurudev . Always be with me.

[@suchilravishankar608]

Thank you guruji for imparting knowledge to all

[@T2Runner]

His explanations are on point regardless if one believes or not. My mother sent this to me because I was confused also.

[@nareshmondal7943]

कोई भी आकर्षण या आसक्ति सिर्फ तब तक है, जब तक तुम उसे पराया मानते हो । पर जब तुम सोचते हो कि वे तुम्हारे ही अंग हैं, तब वह आकर्षण समाप्त हो जाता है । यही कारण है कि पति-पत्नी एक दूसरे प्रति उतना आकर्षण नहीं होते जितना दूसरों के प्रति । क्योंकि वे तो पहले से ही एक दूसरे के हो चुके हैं । जब तुम यह समझ जाते हो कि सभी तुम्हारी ही चेतना के अंश हैं, तब बिना किसी आसक्ति की भावना के तुम पूरी सृष्टि का आनन्द लेते हो ।... श्री श्री रविशंकर/ The art of living /प्रवचन नं - २२
