SATSANG NOTES With Gurudev...

Bangalore Ashram

04.11 2023

Q. You have mentioned earlier that soul is the same size for ant as well as am elephant. What really is the size of soul?

G: Sun is so big, yet it gets reflected fully in a small mirror as well as a big mirror. Size, shape, form don't pertain to the soul. 

Q. What do I do if I start enjoying negativity?

G: You must be getting some pleasure out of it, it's a distortion. It's not very healthy for you.

Q. In world cup, India played Pakistan. People say that we should not play when there's so much terrorism from Pakistan. What's your opinion?

G: We should not mix culture, sports, spirituality etc with politics.

Don't brand that all the people of Pakistan are bad.

We had 150 people from Pakistan participate in WCF. They did a very good performance. We should minimise conflict.

This doesn't mean we're keeping quiet or get complacent with terrorism or wrong doings. When there's wrong doing, we should take a strong stand against it. 

Q. Can Sanyaas and Sansaar coexist?

G: Sanyaas is being centered and making the whole world as part of you. It's not running away from responsibility. 

Q. What's your opinion about gender fluidity debate?

G: Gender is determined by nature, we must honor that. In every individual, there's qualities of both male and female. Some times, mother aspect is stronger, some times father aspect. You should move to spirituality and develop a higher identity than confining your identity only to gender.

And then, it's up to an individual.

Q. What is Kaaran body? Is it different for a devotee and Guru?

G: First understand about the gross body, then the subtle body, then you can think about Kaaran body. 

It's same as well as different. Like how the space in one pot is same as any other pot, yet, it's different too. 

Q. How do I make myself more useful to Guru?

G: Let this thought stay in the mind, let it flourish. Automatically, what is needed will get done. 

Q. What's the best and the easiest way to make you happy?

G: why should I tell you, you should think 😀

Q. Different elements have been associated with different shapes, what's the significance or meanings of these associations?

G: Looking at the formless within the form of the elements is the wisdom. The five elements are all not complete. Something that is within the elements is what completes them. Like the body has no value without the soul.

Q. Is there any Shaastra that recommends women to do all the Household work? How to make males do Household work?

G: There are so many ladies here who make their husbands do all the work at home. Exchange ideas with them. Anyways, you're so good in high speed data transfer.
