| Answer : SRI SRI :
It is the desire that tires you - the 'want' in the mind. Your mind tires you more than the physical work. If you are willing to do some work, even 15 hours at a stretch, it will not tire you but if you are not willing and you have to work even for four hours, it will tire you.
For eg , you have a party at home or you are arranging Onam /Vishu decorations. So you may work many late hours but still not feel tired. You feel good about it. But you work in some place you don't like, you'd like to have four coffee or tea breaks and even then you feel it's tiring! Don't do any work at all. Just sit and go on thinking. You'll be terribly exhausted. For many people, the tiredness and exhaustion comes from thinking and worrying, not by working.
Thinking you need rest makes you restless.
Thinking you have to work hard makes you tired.
Thinking you have worked hard brings self pity.
So, learn some techniques which will give you deep rest, deeper than sleep. Deeper your rest, you can be more dynamic .

| Question by: Dr.Geetha |
| Even though I have strong belief in GOD,when I face misfortunes in life,I feel depressed and worried.I faced many tragedies in life and overcame all these with the help of GOD without much side effects.I did nt get a Job, eventhough highly qualified.How can I get peace in mind with all worries in life. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : The way to overcome personal misery is to share universal misery! The way to expand personal joy is to share universal joy. Instead of thinking "what about me?" "what can I gain from this world?" think "what can I do for the world?" When everyone comes from the point of contributing to society, you have a Divine society. We have to educate and culture our individual consciousness in order to expand in time with the Knowledge . . . from "what about me?" to "what can I contribute?" |

| Question by: Seema |
| How can I give happiness to my beloved ones even if they hurt me? I feel my life is a defeated one. I'm taking revenge of that by reacting to every situations. then how can I maintain my relationships? |
| Answer : SRI SRI :
when you're centered, and when you let go of your feverishness, then you're not bored with yourself; then your charm becomes long lasting. The more near a person comes to you, the more the charm will be there. That is the secret of being centered, being connected with the self deep within us.

| I am cofused - some times I feel that i should have lot of dreams,then only i can succeed in life ,i get the motivation to work.pursuing higher and higher targets in business,money,land,....But this creates always unrest in me .Always not satisfied .But ojn the contrary if I am satisfied with what i have ,i dont get the motivation to work,to acheive higher and higher targets...which style should i adopt? whether to satisfied with what i have or ambitious? |
| Answer : SRI SRI :
You cannot rest when you have to do something which you cannot. And you cannot rest when you feel you have to be someone whom you are not. You are not required to do what you cannot. You will not be asked to give what you cannot give. Nothing is expected of you that you cannot do. You cannot rest if you have either ambition or lethargy. Both are opposed to good rest. A lazy person will toss and turn at night and be 'restless' and an ambitious person will burn inside. And no one wants you to be someone whom you are not. This realisation brings you deep rest. This rest brings up your talents and abilities and brings you closer to your nature. Even a slight feeling that the Divine is with you brings deep rest. And prayer, love and meditation are all flavours of deep rest. The only thing you have to do in your life is to make your peace strong, your love profound and your joy eternal.

| Question by: Saju |
| Guruji,How to control love with another person,i mean possessivness |
| Answer : SRI SRI :
One of the main aspect of relationship is to give space to the other person. When you love someone, you're just right on their neck ! You don't give them any breathing space and they suffocate. And suffocation destroys love. You should give them a space and you take your space. Respect each other's space. Take some time off. The ancient people knew this. You know, they would say one month in a year.They would say this month husband and wife cannot cross the same door, so would send their wives to their mother's home. And that is the month the postal department used to have maximum business ! Because then one month creates so much longing and they will write poems; all the creativity in them will come out. Love letters will flow from one city to another city! For love to blossom, there needs to be longing, and longing needs a little space. If you destroy longing, if you don't allow longing to come in your relationship--though it will be painful, little bit but it is inevitable-if it is not there then love does not grow. The charm is lost. So, give some space to them. Take some space for yourself.

| Guruji,I am 34years old.Working in kuwait.My family with me.I like toomuch my wife.but some times me getting too angry without any reason.How can i make me a good husbend,good person? |
| Answer : SRI SRI : See, when you have a feast, there is a main course and there is dessert, right ? Relationship should be treated as a dessert, not as a main course. If your life is aimed at some goal, if there is some goal in your life, some aim in your life, then you move in the direction, relationship will move along. If all your focus is just on relationship, I tell you that is where it will not work. And it doesn't work. You can't have a dessert for your main course! You cannot eat it like that. So, if you have a goal in your life and then both of you have the same goal, then you will move along to that direction. Then that relationship lasts long. |

| Question by: vinod |
| Is there any meaning to our life, without knowing our destiny?. We can say this is our destiny only when we reached our destiny. Master, can we see what is our destiny ? |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Only one who is 100 percent in doing can recognize the happening. The healthiest way to apply this knowledge is to see the whole past as happening and the present as doing. If you see the past as doing, then ego and regret come along. And when you see the present as happening, then laziness and unawareness set in. If you apply the doing for the future, it brings tension and worry. If you apply the happening for the future, it might bring some confidence and also lethargy.
Let the happening be for the past. Let the doing be for the present. And the future is a mix of both.The wise will see the doing in happening and the happening in doing simultaneously

| Question by: chaitanya |
| When we do our job with concentration and to the best of our ability and therefore move ahead step by step, family members often interpret this as having high career ambition, desire for materialistic gains and lack of interest in family matters. Most of the time gossiping about each other, getting entangled in never ending troubles and talking endlessly about problems without actually finding a solution is perceived by them as love and concern for each other. No matter how much you do for them and actually think for them, it is never enough. They like you only when, you be the way that pleases them. What should be the approach of a person towards such a family? |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Most of the misunderstandings in relationships, and the problems in relationships, are because we talk a lot, express it too much. Just a smile, a glimpse, can express much more than what words could do. A gesture, a sincere gesture, is often a million times more than words. |

| Guruji: Where is GOD?. Is the world is created by God?. If so Which God?Where is he now? Did u ever see God? When we do bad things will GOD punish?. When we do good things will GOD reward?. How we can get pure Happiness every moment? |
| Answer : SRI SRI: You say, ''I want to see God''. When you want to see God as something, as an object, then it is not everywhere. This wanting to see God as separate from you is also an illusion. God is not an object of senses, but God is the feeling of feelings, the prescence of presence, the sound of silence, the light of life, the essence of the world and the taste of bliss. |

| Question by: gopi.k |
| We all belive that there is an almighty , all powerful to controll us. Without his knowledge nothing moves , nothing happens. Is it an imagination of the human beings. Or ist it reall. do you believe in life after death. is there anything like that. Or is based on Indian myths. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Atheism is not a reality, it is just a matter of convenience. When you have a spirit of inquiry, or are in search of truth, atheism falls apart. With a spirit of inquiry, you cannot deny something which you have not disproved. An atheist denies God without first disproving it. In order to disprove God, you must have enormous knowledge. And when you have enormous knowledge, you cannot disprove God! For one to say that something does not exist, one should know about the whole universe. So you can never be 100 percent atheist. An atheist is only a believer who is sleeping! In fact an atheist is someone who has a concept of God!
About life after death, let it be a suspense for you ! |

| Question by: Agish |
| Guruji, I am a software engg from Kerala.My big plm with me is that Lack of confidence and Inconsistancy in my behaviours.Wht can i do. Any remedies for it.I need ur valuable sugesstions.Thnak u |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Today we do not instill confidence and commitment in our youth. That is the main reason for poverty. So the youth keep blaming someone or the other, the government, the people, their parents or someone else. They don't take responsibility for themselves. That makes them weak and they become dependent. And when there is so much dependence on everything around, there cannot be happiness or comfort.
So, wake up! You need not be bogged down by commitments. Have confidence and faith. At the same time, keep an open mind. Don't get stuck miserably. A few minutes of quiet meditation, a few minutes of deep relaxation, a few minutes of singing from your heart will help you get through your commitments successfully.

| Guruji why are facing too much obstacles and problems in our life. And how should we boldly face those problems. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : You know there is a Big Mind and a small mind. Sometimes the Big Mind wins over the small mind and sometimes it is the other way around. When the small mind wins over, it is misery and when the Big Mind wins, it is joy. Small mind promises joy and leaves your hand empty. Big Mind may bring resistance in the beginning but fills you with joy. |

| Why we are facing too much obstacles in our life. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : You know there is a Big Mind and a small mind. Sometimes the Big Mind wins over the small mind and sometimes it is the other way around. When the small mind wins over, it is misery and when the Big Mind wins, it is joy. Small mind promises joy and leaves your hand empty. Big Mind may bring resistance in the beginning but fills you with joy. |

| why you don't believe in jesus christ who is the one and only true saviour who gave his life for our sins?????I will be happy with your reply, thank you. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Jesus has never said "I am suffering for your sins". That was a way the people used to awaken people. There are many thingS like ''the dooms day is coming. Come on, wake up''. See, when Jesus was on this planet, those are the days , the darkest days of that continent. People were slaves, they were not highly educated nor aware, right? And it was necessary in those days to(say) " come on, wake up, there is going to be a disaster". Everyone was doing the same thing, repeating the same thing, being dull and not open to knowledge. The fear wakes one up from slumber. The preachers in those days they knew this psychology of humans. So they said, "OK, dooms day is going to come, hell is going to open, come on wake up. Be kind, be compassionate, pray, do something, for the sake of Spirit". To awaken people, who are so thick skinned, they used this tactic. Fear need not be a tool for someone who is sensitive, but it works, just a pinch of fear works for someone who is very thick skinned. Do you get it? Today you don't need to induce fear and tell people to pray. For, you can go through love, you can go through gratitude, gratefulness, helplessness. The wise had many ways to lead one towards the truth, so that was one of the ways.
When you are truly in love with Jesus, you will see Jesus in every name, in every form, in every nook and corner of the planet and beyond. But if you are just imagining Jesus as a form limited to certain time of history and place, then your growth is also limited. Because you are limiting Jesus, then your growth cannot be unlimited. You are not looking at Jesus for what He is or who He is. Of course, if a name or form is very appealing to you, you can have it as your personal master. But go to the values that masters have truly represent and live. Then He is not of the past, He is now, here, and He will be in the future also, for ever, and ever, and ever. |

People have always told you that you have to be competitive, that you should win over the competition, otherwise you can't survive. No -- if you want to be creative, you shouldn't be competitive !! Competition is looking into others -- it just means that you are not putting your attention totally into the work that you have to do. |

However of late he seems to be taking advantage of us and keeps demanding money with fabricatd excuses. He has been using money unscruplously. We are nearing retirement and my son is 30 now.We have decided to ignore his demands and let him fend for himself.

| what is really moksha?how can a person on earth attain it?Is there a heaven above? if so how' |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Nature is providing you glimpses of ''Moksha'' in everyday life. Have you seen a child when he comes back home on the last day of his annual exam? That is ''Moksha'' !! Or if you have been travelling in a bus, after many hours when you get off, what do you do? You stretch your hands and legs with a big releif, that is ''Moksha''. So, when you experience the freedom in your mind, you are experiencing Liberation. |

| Question by: sham |
| Who is Guru ? My Guru is My God. He is creator,He is almighty and merciful. he is not men or women.nobdy can't saw him, but he can see us.he teached me through Prophets, How can living in earth. i have aim in this life. That for Heaven. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : Some people keep waiting for the prophets to come. And these people have been there throughout the ages. Before Moses, people were waiting for the prophet to come. When Moses came, not everybody thought that he was the prophet. Some fully believed him, and some half heartedly, and some not. And the same thing happened in Jesus' time. They still waited for the prophet to come. Jesus came and left, yet those some were still waiting for the prophet to come. And the same thing, happened in Buddha's time. Some people thought that an AVATAR was going to come. And then, Buddha came, and lived for a long time, and left too. Still they were waiting. It needs an eye to recognise a prophet, it needs a mind, a heart, to feel the presence. Not everyone can do it. Who ever can do it any moment, any where, is already there ! Those who would like to wait, can wait for a millennium to come. That is good also, waiting itself is a good practice, a good exercise !! |

| Question by: shamaz |
| Heart of Living is better than Art of Living. i can explain to you. if you have bad Heart, you will do bad thinks, if you have good heart, you will do good thinks, rightway topic is " Ask to Guru " .. why? Who is Guru ? you know " six feet of earth all mens eqal". |
| Answer : SRI SRI : The first act of life is inhalation. We took a deep breath in. And second act of life is we started crying. The last act of life is we breath out and we make others cry. Attending to the breath, a lot of secrets about your life will be revealed to you. Knowledge of death will improve the quality of your life. Knowledge of your breath will do the same - makes you so stable, so strong. That is called "immortal life". |

| Question by: Kumar |
| Dear Guruji, I have done basic,advanced and dsn courses. I know all those teached are the golden knowledge for lifetime. I wish to follow it , and able to an extent but again mind make it backward twice. I'm single and of age 30 and want to concentrate more on my job and skill development since my job is related to software development. But I'm always diverted to affairs like porn on net and other medias and wasting most of time for it almost for last 6 years. I know this habit put me backward and backward. When I practices sudharshan kriya and all it helps me a bit, but I'm not able to continue it without break. When a break happens, then everything drives me to worser situations. I visited Ashram twice, and both times I was not able to met Guruji to tell my problems directly. Kindly advice me to make my life more creative and by that to help my family and all of those who need help. Jay Gurudev |
| Answer : SRI SRI :First step is to become aware of this. First of all, you have to be aware that there is a craving and then because your whole system is a complete system, body, mind, breath, intellect, memory, all this is involved, so you have to work on different levels. Some breathing techniques will help. Your food habits can help to overcome your craving and listening to music, enjoying nature, having more relaxation, all this would help. I have seen many people overcome their addictions of different things. |

| Question by: Manu |
| Dear GurujiI do seva only if I get some gain out of it. At least some joy.Is it ok?JGDManu |
| Answer : SRI SRI : When you do seva don't think you are doing a favor for somebody. You have done the seva and it has rewarded you immediately. Its reward is for sure and is always more than your doing. Your expectation of reward for the seva turns the seva into labor. If you think you have done a lot, you will do very little; if you see you have done a little, then you will do more. Seva is even when you don't see an immediate reward there is no complaint; labor is even after an immediate reward, there will be complaints. Be grateful for any opportunity to do the seva. |

| Question by: arun |
| Jai GuruDev... is celebusy must for th perfectness of A O L routine?if so,how can it be possible for now-a-day's living conditions?guruji,always this lust is drawing me back. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : When somebody is frustrated, they feel more towards sex. Because what is sex actually? In sex, the mind comes into the present moment, just gets rid of all other things. One feels the body, one is in the moment. I'm not saying sex is good,or bad, or should be, should not be--nothing of that. See what it is, the mechanism. When a person is frustrated, he is in the future, projecting his mind in the future, and he wants to come to the present. Because living in the past in sadness, or in the future, is a tension for the mind, it is so uneasy for the Being, it is not restful, so it pushes one into the obsession with sex.Celebacy is a happening in life; it's not a practise. It's not something one forces on the mind. But when that same love becomes devotion, then your mind is so much in the present moment, totally, all the 24 hours, then you see you are having the same joy a hundred times more, magnified, without having the feverishness of lust. |

| Guruji, I need peace of mind which I have never had in my life during the last over 20 years. I never had any problem of my own. I always worry about the others especially of my aged mother and separated sister/her two young children. I am a Govt officer settled in new delhi. I have wife and two kids. I always fall in trouble for the others. Because of this I have been facing unnecessary humiliation and criticism from the others. Even though I am a failed man in my personal life, I am quite satisfied with my job and colleages. I am awaiting for your advise. I would also like to meet your highness personally during your next visit to delhi. |
| Answer : SRI SRI : You are joy,you are peace... |

| Why some bad people are living so happily and some good people are getting all difficulties in life?Is that justice? |
| Answer : SRI SRI : This is a wrong notion that bad people live happily always and good people always suffer. Open your eyes and look around you -- what is happening?
