Meditation Yoga Chapter 6, Verse 30 yo māṁ paśyati sarvatra sarvaṁ ca mayi paśyati tasyāhaṁ na praṇaśyāmi sa ca me na praṇaśyati He who sees Me everywhere and sees all in Me, to him I do not get lost, nor does he get lost to Me. Here Lord Krishna says, “He who sees Me everywhere and sees all in Me.” Those who perceive God everywhere in the outside world, knowing that everything forms His cosmic Body, “sees all in Me, to him I do not get lost, nor does he get lost to Me.” A realised soul, a true bhakta sees the Divine everywhere and knows that Krishna is everywhere! One knows that Narayana Krishna is everywhere, in everything, in whatever one does, wherever one goes! There is never separation. Bhagavan Himself is reminding people, “Why are you running left and right? You should run inside! I am always with you. You are always with Me. We Love each other. We are always in Love! You are Love! This is your true reality. You are the eternal bliss, Satchitananda. Don’t think that...

Meditation Yoga Chapter 6, Verse 29 sarva-bhūtastham ātmānaṁ sarva-bhūtāni cātmani īkṣate yoga-yuktātmā sarvatra sama-darśanaḥ The man whose Self is in yoga, sees the Self in all beings and all beings in the Self, is equal-visioned everywhere. “The man whose Self is in yoga”, in union with the Divine, “sees the Self in all beings”. So the one who is in complete unity with God sees God in all beings and all beings in God, he is equal-visioned everywhere. There is no limitation. The true yogis who have established their identity in the Absolute Brahman, in the form of Satchitananda, have this quality of bliss inside them. Through meditation, one perceives that what one has inside of oneself is equally present everywhere: there is no difference between the inner and the outer. In the Atma there is no difference between the inner and the outer because Narayana Krishna, the cosmic Self, the true Self, which the yogis perceive, is within themselves and everywhere else. They attai...

Question - Gurudev, I have done many sins in my life. Am I a right candidate for this sacred path? I want to repent for my wrong deeds. Gurudev Sri Sri - Your very wish to repent has solved the purpose. This wish to repent is an indication that your intellect is getting matured. Otherwise, you would not have been aware of your wrong actions. Something wrong has happened through you and you want to repent for that, this means you are out of it in the present. The wish to repent arises only in the matured intellect. You are innocent in the present moment. Don’t live in the past, but take this sankalpa (Resolution) that you don’t have to do this in future. One with deluded intellect supports even his/her wrong actions. Know that the one who does a mistake and supports it is lacking in maturity of intellect. Some people do repentance with guilt. That also doesn’t solve the purpose. That is why Master/Disciple tradition exists. Master would guide the disciple to do something to be free from...

Question - Gurudev, I feel happy and peaceful here. My heart is really contented. All negativity comes when I go out. I encounter all problems like corruption and bribery. How to face these problems? How to maintain the same positivity when I go from here? Gurudev Sri Sri - You forget a strength in you – Prayer and power of your sankalpa (positive intention). You keep doing practices and your things are taken care of. Don’t ask for small things in your prayers. Ask for big things - let government be good and stable, Let this knowledge reach out to many more people. It is up to you to make a divine society. You can start a collective moment. There are many good people and a very few people who cause disturbance, but their influence looks like they are many. You come together and you will find what difference you can make.

Question - Gurudev, I feel that I have not got over a death in my immediate family and it prevents me from moving forward in my own relationships, and starting my own family. I want to move on but sometimes I feel I’m my own worst enemy. How do I overcome this situation? Gurudev Sri Sri - You meditate, you do bhajan. These vibrations reach them also. You be peaceful and peaceful vibrations from you go across to the other side. That is why spirituality is called ’Sadhana’ in Sanskrit, which means the real wealth, the real currency that can go even here and there (laughs). The other dollar currency cannot be used on the other side. That’s why we say when you do satsang, sing and meditate, these positive vibrations reach them. And then, these emotions when they come up just observe them, watch them. They will come, evaporate and disappear. Don’t make a big issue about it. Move on.
