Youth Gathering with Bhagavan

Youth Gathering with Bhagavan

August 8, 2004

Q1:

I am not able to set right my relationship with my wife? What should I do?

He is trying to understand his relationship. There is no use in it. It does not take you anywhere. You need to learn the art of experiencing the relationship with your wife. When there is joy in the relationship, then that's it.
If you're unable to do that, then you can ask me, if you have bondage. I will give you blows (life lessons), which in turn would turn out to be bliss.


Q2:	What is the difference between an integral and a non-integral person? (Integral means being true to oneself)
A:	For a person having inner integrity, there is no necessity of prayer. Everything he seeks comes to him through divine. But if he chooses to pray, then it would come fast. For a person who is non-integral, things would come late.

Q3:	Can an un-enlightened person be happy?
A:	Yes, if heart flowers. But that happiness cannot be compared with that of an enlightened person. The flowering of heart means experiencing everything.

Q4:	I think the reason for man's suffering is his freewill. What do you think Bhagavan?
A:	(Smiles). It seems to be a new teaching. When there is self, there is problem. When there is no self, there is no problem. If the self disappears, then freewill will disappear. All existence is suffering.

Q5:	When will I stop imitating others? When will I discover originality?
A:	All of us are second hand human beings. Let us take this robe that I wear. Some people produce the cloth, some stitch it, I call it my robe. Start where you are. And that is where you have to be. That is the first and last step. You cannot do anything. (smiles)

Q6:	Please tell us three easy ways to become rich?
A:	(Laughs) (a) Desire should come from heart, and not head (b) You must have confidence to deserve it (c) You should ask me like you can ask a friend. Because when you ask me as a friend, then it will be difficult for me to say no. But what you ask should be reasonable. I am not against desires, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. You must have clarity in what you are asking. I am like a computer, be clear in what you want. I believe in creating wealth, eliminating poverty. To make a person very rich is easy in-fact.

Q7:	What is the purpose of darshan (Gathering with Bhagavan)? What you do to us in darshan. What happens?
A:	When I close my eyes, I focus on you, your prayers, so that it gets fulfilled.

Q8:	Bhagavan what is the reason behind the existence of this universe?
A:	There need not be a reason. We assume that there is a reason. When you go to higher levels, you will understand that there can be no reason.

Q9:	How must an un-enlightened person confront relationships?
A:	For an enlightened person, there is no teaching, his state will guide him. For an un-enlightened person, then you need to be where you are, see what you are. Be natural. If you have jealousy, embrace it. You have it because of the concept of self. Accept it, that's it. There is nothing wrong in having it.If you accept your ugliness, then sooner you will be enlightened. If you escape, then God cannot save you. Take the stand: I am not enlightened, I have these qualities (of ugliness), what is wrong in that. This is the best preparation to get enlightenment.

Q10:	Bhagavan, how do we tackle religion and religious conflict ?
A:	I don't believe in fighting religion. I believe in individual transformation. If people get transformed, religion could die.

Q11:	Is marriage a necessity in human life?
A:	I am not a teacher, I am a technician working on the brain. These things are not my cup of tea. You do what your society demands. I am not here to give values to follow. If your relationships are healthy then it's ok. I would not condemn you, if you marry four or five women or if you have four or five girlfriends and you marry none of them. I am concerned about the healthiness of relationships.


Q12:	Bhagavan you are changing our destiny. Will that have an impact on us? Will my horoscope have any impact?
A:	I can change your horoscopes. These things are possible. The more you permit me, the more I will do. Bhagavan smiles and tells, "Bring some person whose horoscope tells that he will die today, I can make him live for another 3 days."

Q13:	Bhagavan, How was your relationship with your parents?
A:	(smiles) Very good. We were like friends. It was excellent with both parents.

Q14:	Bhagavan you say that "your body is not yours, don't abuse it". But we are abusing it? Is this a conflict?
A:	(smiles) Yes, it is. You are a tenant of your body. You would understand all these things when you go to a higher state.

Q15:	As females, we are given less. We are forced to live an ordinary life. We do not know how to face it? Please help us Bhagavan.
A:	Take law into your hands and fight it. Women have to battle it. Form groups, select your leader, then fight for your rights. We did a process at Golden City earlier where we used to transform men so that, at the end of the process, they would fall at the feet of women. They would start respecting women.

Q16:	Bhagavan, the way you walk, you speak, you smile, your body language, your mannerisms. Will we get that also?
A:	(Laugh) Yes, probably after the end of your youth class. (Smiles)

Q17:	Why good and evil co-exist?
A:	There could be no creation without bad. However it can be fully experienced and enjoyed. It is a perception. In the Golden Age, perception is going to change.

Q18:	Bhagavan man is coming empty handed. How does he become egoistic?
A:	Perception. It must change.

Q19:	How does a little child without any worldly experiences, labels it as painful?
A:	Because of the concept of self.

Q20:	We are so dirty inside. How does this feel for you?
A:	I feel what you feel because you are part of me. I wear a mask. Because otherwise I would be weeping all the time, if you would tell your problems to me. So I wear that.

Q21:	Bhagavan, I suppose that people who are rude, lack sat-karma (good or truth karma). What will we do for their enlightenment?
A:	If during the process, somebody has no sat-karma to his credit, then we tell them to acquire sat-karma. They are told to feed cows, dogs, birds which are uncared for, not pets. After doing this we start the process again for them to give them enlightenment.
