I have a question that makes me feel that people compare and based on their comparison, they decide and come to their preferences; they favour them. And when I see this play of ego, of pleasing the other person, and when one understands that oneโs higher-up favours him/her, one feels good about that closeness. ๐๐๐ฆ๐พ[…]

Itโs easier to think about aligning with God when idle, but harder in moments of real choiceโespecially when torn between comfort and asking, โWhat would God want me to do?โ Acting with sincerity, enthusiasm, and self-forgetfulness, being a resource to others, and embodying cheerful equanimity feels like a truer way to connect with the Divine.

Is eating milk and white bread for breakfast with a dash of sugar a bad thing? Modern food guidelines are making too much of white bread and sugar. They have almost declared them as human toxins, to the point of cutting some food sources completely from one’s diet. And I believe in eating everything in moderation. Where is the truth behind such regulations? ๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐ค

I’m telling the truth when I say I just know for a fact that, despite my limits and flaws, I know I want The Divine enough to do whatever I need to do.

I was just listening to your talk on ‘overmind and supermind’. I have listened to a few of your other talks referring to the same subject, which makes me ask a few questions about this. Didn’t the Overmind consciousness manifest on Earth while Lord Krishna himself was on Earth?ย ๐๐ฆ๐ชท๐ค
