Question & Answers with Guruji

 

Q: Guruji, What is Yoga? How can it help bring peace?

A:  taking your consciousness to the blissful state of experience, is yoga. To succeed the blissful state in one, he has to attain the liberation and realization.

liberation is all about liberating one self from fear, failure, worry, suffering, ego, anger, jealous and greedy.  These negative emotional reactions of mind clouds the true self. By liberating yourself from these aspects what remain in you is peace. 

the peace with its selfless act such as love, harmony, compassion, care towards the whole, forgiveness, sacrifice, joy, humble, and simple, it fragrances. These holly qualities are the state of the true self. Realizing and experiencing it, is called self realization. 

Q: Guruji, What is samadhi? Does it only happen with eyes closed?

A: the combination of sama + adhi is samadhi. Sama means equal, adhi meas the beginner the divine. Samadhi is experiencing the state of divine the formless. The true self which exist beyond the mind and body dose not have the form as well. The true self and the divine both dose not have the form, experiencing the self ( formless) is experiencing the divine (formless). We call it samadhi. 

When samadhi is internal experience, the senses such as eyes, nose, ears, tongue and skin creates the external values. Mind is the external values and internal emotions. When samadhi is the no-mind approach, the mind is influencing the senses to fulfil its desire, the mind is influenced by the senses out of its desire. The mind is influencing the senses and influenced by the senses to fulfil its desire. So it is the weakness of mind not the strength.  The senses are doing their duty, So it is not needed to close your eyes, drop your desire.   

 

Q: Guruji, How to overcome desire?

A: The desire is your values, as the values changes from time to time the desire changes. When you where in teen age and collage your values are different, when you where in job your values where different, after your marriage your values are different, the values changes by time, so your desire changes. 

You have the value on what you don’t have, the moment you got it, it looses its value. But the desire remains the same with some other value. It keeps on moving the desire never come to the end. 

The desire is your future, because you have the desire towards your future, you are not certain about your future, but the present moment is in your hand. The present itself is an opportunity towards your future enrichment. For example a student who studies tenth standard is given tenth syllabus, class, teacher, environmental and support, but the student out of his desire studying Collage books will no where take him any where. When the teacher is handling the class, the student by dreaming the future he looses the present class. 

Your future is hidden in your present moment. Accept the present moment and challenge. 

By all these explanations I ask you to be aware, don’t control the desire, accept it travel with it, with this kind of awareness it slowly dissolve  and disappears.

 Q: Guruji, How can I stop sexual desires?

 A: As the hunger is not related with the mind, it is related with Brain, senses and glands.

For your understanding most of the enlighten masters had and have their life partner. 

Q: Guruji, What should I do if people see my patience, compassion and forgiveness as a weakness?

A: Being patience, compassion and forgiveness is the holy quality which cannot happen for every one, which indicates you are very near to the enlightenment itself, let others think the way they wanted, that is their freedom. Don’t expect others to accept you. 

They are giving you an opportunity to be more simple and humble. Being more humble and simple is the quality of enlightenment. The cosmos is supporting you to reach more closer towards the truth. Accept it as it is and accept those people as they are.

Why should you get disappointed for others ignorance, innocence, mistakes and sin. 

 

Q: Guruji, I understand the importance of being at peace internally, despite all hardships and injustice. But as an activist, who fights against all forms of oppression, how should one deal with an oppressor who has violence on their side? In other words, how must the weak overcome the powerful?

A: The light has its job with the darkness. Only because of the existence of darkness, the light exist. Only because of the bad the good exist. If you can see the good in you is out of your comparison around you.  As an activist if you really want to bring the change, try to understand their emotions. The non acceptance has created enough of damage in the past, some of them are fighting for their rights, some with their ideas injected by the past, only by accepting them we can make them to accept us.
