- Father, tell me
- Do you need happiness?
- Question: How can one make meditation practical?
- Question: How can I see divine Light? Aside from concentration and meditation, what concrete or practical things can I do to see the divine Light? Also, during concentration and meditation, what kind of practical things can I do to see Light?
- Question: In trying to lead the spiritual life, I am beset by evil forces. How can I protect myself?
- Question: I have recently felt quite distinctly a force that people throw around themselves for protection, or when they don't want to speak to someone. I have felt it like a solid object, like a wall. I would like to know how it is built. Is it built consciously or unconsciously?
- Question: Why can't we get rid of all our undivine and negative forces permanently? Why can't we do it, why don't we do it?
- Question: Can one overcome one's fears through meditation?
- Question: Can we conquer the fear of death through meditation?
- Question: How can one contact one's dear ones in the other world?
- Question: When meditating, inside I feel very strong and outside I feel very soft. But as I go deeper, I start expanding.
- God is proud of him
- Question: I am constantly bothered by thoughts during my meditation. Is there any way I can punish the mind so that it will behave?
- Question: I have an experience at some of your lectures which I never am aware of at your other talks. I have a feeling that I am falling asleep, yet I hear what you are saying. I try very hard to keep awake but it almost seems an impossibility. Could you explain whether I am doing something wrong?
- Question: While meditating, I feel some forces in the ajna chakra (third eye) and in the heart centre that transform my face and my physical. What are these forces?
- Question: Master, during my meditation, I see a triangle of pure, white light behind you that covers your head. What does this mean?
- Question: When I meditate, I sometimes feel a kind of pressure pushing in my mind.
- Question: When I am meditating, I feel my head expanding and I feel that something is pounding the top of my head.
- Question: At times during meditation, I feel that the physical heart stops for a few seconds and then it resumes beating.
- Question: You talk about spiritual practices, either elaborate or very simple. When we, as ordinary people, listen to a piece of music or see a very great piece of art, we feel a certain kind of joy. Is the joy you achieve after many years of spiritual practice the same as the joy we achieve momentarily, or is it greater?
- Question: I am not very sure that I understand what you mean by inner peace or keeping the mind quiet during meditation. When I am very close to nature, I get a feeling of peace. But I am not sure if this is inner peace or whether it is just the atmosphere of the place that gives me this peaceful feeling.
- My life
- Question: When I meditate, I enter into the inner world and if certain good vibrations help me, I see things which materialise in the outer world after a few months. Should I try to transcend this?
- Love is a flower
- Question: During my meditation there is a very strong sound and within that sound, there are thousands of sounds.
- Question: Sometimes after meditation I touch things and find that they are not solid; they are fluid. They seem to lose their solid state.
- Question: Sometimes in my meditations, I come to think about Eternity. This feeling, instead of giving me joy, on the contrary causes me great anguish. I feel that I am all alone, I feel that by the power of my mind I have destroyed the world and am all alone by myself. Please tell me if I am taking the wrong track.
- Question: When I meditate, I see within and without that everything is alive and has millions of patterns. I see something like a living presence in everything.
- Question: Very frequently when I start my meditation, I feel a vibration as if I were a motor. This vibration starts going up into the head and then my head more or less falls, as though I am falling asleep. Then I try to wake up, and then the vibration starts up again.
- Question: Sometimes, even though I concentrate on my heart, my head pulls down energy and I can't seem to stop it, and I just end up with a headache and a stiff neck, and I lose my meditation. Is there any way I can get out of that and still get back to the heart?
- Question: Could you please explain the difference between taking drugs and meditation? What is your opinion on using drugs?
- They enjoy
