Thank you for the beautiful question. Let me take it step by step.

First thing that we must acknowledge is that life is not perfect and none of us is perfect. Yet we seek perfection within us and in the people and the world around us. But perfection develops through a long journey in which failure and fall are at some point part of the plan. Hence when we fall and get hurt we should not react with fear of the future or blame game and guilt etc. Instead we should try to see carefully and sincerely within us for the faultlines, understand what makes us vulnerable, what are our weakspots and thence start rectifying them. If we do not do so then yes the faultline remains keeping us vulnerable. If we repair and mend the part we grow strong and move one step towards perfection. But it is only possible if we look for the inner causes instead of blaming others.

All of us, without exception, make mistakes. The difference is that some learn the lesson fast, others refuse to learn.

At the same time we should not let a bad past experience overpower and paralyse us. We should consciously cultivate and have confidence that the Divine is with us and hence He will hold and lift us through every stumble and fall. Why did He let us stumble? Because it was a needed learning step in our growth towards perfection. But if we learn fast and keep our faith intact then there is no reason to ever fall again.

Yes gratitude is an expression of love. It is a sign of psychic development. But the best way to express our gratitude to the Divine is to try and live according to His teachings. Not only is this the best expression of gratitude it is also the best way to walk safely on the great journey of life.

Lots of love

Why some people suffer so much in their lives both physically and mentally while others get everything smooth both mentally and physically? Yesterday I went to meet my 82 year old neighbour who is suffering from cancer for the past four years. Her treatment is going on and she was fine till June 2024 but now she has become very weak and suffering from multiple myeloma. One can see pain and suffering in her eyes. After meeting her I felt it is better to die than to live in this condition😭. Is this suffering due to what we call prarabdh or is it something else? And why not death comes and take lives of such persons who are suffering a lot because it is very painful to live in such condition?

That earthly life has its burden of suffering is obvious. The difference exists in theories about the cause of suffering. The wise say its root cause is ignorance. What is meant by this term is that we do not know who we are or why we are here? We do not know the play of forces and the way to master them? Let us apply …

Why was this world 🌏 made? You explained it beautifully, but I’m an atheist and don’t believe it was created by a power. If I did, I wouldn’t be asking this question.

Normally one would this question only if one believed that there is a Conscious Being or Power that has gone into the making of this world. If one is an Atheist then the right question would be not why but how this world was made. Because non-belief in a Conscious Wisdom and Force that has gone into…

What were the events that turned the following wars? Ramayana, Mahabharata, World War 1 💣and World War 2. I believe the World War 2’s turning point was Dunkirk or was it when Winston Churchill became Prime Minister or I might be wrong? Please explain.

All these three or four major wars took place during the time of the three Avatars who had come to establish dharma consistent with the dawn of a new age. Therefore these wars can very well be seen as the last ditch attempt for the forces of adharma to resist the new age being ushered by the Avatar. Therefore each war has a spiritual as well as physical turning point.

The spiritual turning point is when the forces of adharma took an extreme step that invited a strong recoil as well as a Divine Intervention. Such a point for the Ramayana war that
