The story of the Lord's adventures is all nectar. It has no other component, content or taste. Everyone can drink their fill from any part of that ocean of nectar, just as sugar is sweet irrespective of whether it is eaten during the day or night. For, it is day or night only for the person who eats, not for the sugar. Sugar behaves uniformly always. So too, the love of God and the love for God are both eternally sweet and pure, whatever the method of accepting or attaining them. The same sweetness exists, everywhere, at all times, in every particle.

What is the crucial role played by a Guru in the life of a disciple?
It is a very difficult task to secure a good Guru. Sishyas(disciples) can become exemplary persons only when a real Guru accepts them. When pure-hearted, unselfish and non-egoistic students approach a Guru, the Guru exults in ecstatic delight. Parikshith, the Emperor, renounced everything and decided to realise God, and, right at that moment, Maharshi Suka appeared, to guide him straight to his goal. Similarly, when the good sishyas get good Gurus, they succeed not only in attaining Bliss but also in conferring peace, prosperity and joy upon the entire world.

What was a strategy used in the past to resolve very hard conflicts in the society?
In olden times, when in any region, the people were sunk in fear or anxiety, or when the sources of joy and contentment ran dry, they traced the cause for the calamity to some fault or failure in the worship offered to God in the temples of that area. They sought to identify these mistakes and correct them, so that they could have inner peace. They believed that the crisis could be controlled through these means. Such acts are now bundled together and called superstitions, and are cast aside. This is not superstition at all. The ancients grasped the supreme truth only after personally experiencing its validity.
Why should we prioritize renunciation as the primary goal?
Acquisition of positions of authority and power, of skill and intelligence which can manipulate people and things, of fame and supremacy, of personal charm, of good health and happiness or of a large family with many children or wealth… none of these can confer liberation. You cannot attain liberation by undertaking sacrifices, vows, charities, pilgrimages or donations to holy projects. Though the objective world appears real, you must be aware that it is deluding you. You must give up yearning for deriving pleasure from the objects that appear and attract - both here and hereafter. Renunciation alone can lead to immortality. You will be liberated as soon as you renounce your attachment and desire.

What is the most important quality we must cultivate whether we practice any other spiritual discipline or not?
It is mentioned that "Success begets success." But how is success to be achieved and what is the success you should aim at? The Bhagavad Gita declares: Shraddhavan Labhathe Jnanam (The persevering seeker secures wisdom). This means that without perseverance and earnestness, no success can be achieved. Man is not able to make significant progress towards the Divine because of absence of strenuous striving in the spiritual sphere. Without spiritual practice, reading religious books and listening to spiritual discourses have no value. Study of scriptures and reciting God's names may be good acts in themselves. But, if there is no love, which is the basis of all sadhana (spiritual discipline), they are of no use.
THIS BLOG IS BASICALLY FOR THOSE WHO TRUST THAT GOD IS NOT LIMITED TO ANY RELIGION, CAST, CATAGORY, SAMAJ OR AMINITY.
GOD IS NOT A THING, PERSON, OBJECT OR WHATSOEVER YOU CAN NAME
GOD IS EVERY WHERE, SO BIGGER THEN ANY THING IN THIS UNIVERSE AND HENCE CAN NOT BE GOT IMPRISONED IN ANY TAMPLE, GURUDWARA OR RELIGIOS PLACE OR DOMB.
THE SOCIETY NEEDS TO BE MAKE TO UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS NOT TO BE CREATED AS WE CREATE IN STATUES, PICTURES AND TRAMPLES, MOSQUES ETC. GOD IS ALREADY CREATED.
