Q. 257:
Is life a fiction or is life a mystery?
Many people would like to say ‘no, no’ to anything. Talk to anybody of this kind. Whatever you just ask them, they just say, 'no'. We will feel as if they don't know the word 'yes' in their life. 'No' is their whole life.

Q and A, Q. 256,
There are three names which are often used by everybody which are mentioned in our scriptures also. Those three terms are Siva, Eswara and Paramatma. The question is, are the three the same or are they different? Most commonly, Eswara and Siva are taken as synonyms. But it is not so. Eswara is different from Siva.

It happens that when we see Swami for the first time, we may get an impression or an opinion at times that we met Him long back, that we saw Him long back, even though it is for the first time that we are here.

Q. 217:
I made many attempts, but I did not get a positive result in any one of them. I am disappointed. I am depressed. I lost all my courage. The result is that I am fear-stricken. I am full of fear to undertake any task because I doubt whether it would be fruitful or not. This sometimes leads to frustration. What should I do?
Q. 218:
Every incident affects my life. I feel so sad after having gone through certain incidents. I don't know, there are many people who helped me and there are many people who harmed me also. I feel for both of them, both those who helped and those who have harmed. I feel so sorry, badly about them.
Then, on the other hand, I feel so sad when I think of those who left us, those who died and those who are still with us who are not behaving properly. So, we feel sorry for those who left us. We feel sad for those who are around us, both the ways. What is the solution?
Q. 219:
This gentleman had to face the most tragic event in his life. He lost his closest friend, who was very close since his childhood. He is no more. He never expected this. He never imagined this. He lost his dear friend.
In spite of repeated trials and attempts to forget, he is not able to forget this tragedy. What is this life? What is birth? What is death?
Q. 220:
It is quite common for all of us not to be able to bear the severe heat in summer, in places such as in Delhi. Oh! Ho, ho, ho! Very, very hot! At that time, we want something that is cool. We want to drink cool drinks and we want air conditioners, when all around is so very hot.
Alright, then even the rainy season also pains us. Because of the continuous rains, we will not be able to do our duties. In winter, we can't bear it again because it’s very, very cold; so we feel like being in a warm place, and we want heaters.
So, anyway the sum and substance is we are not able to bear anything that happens, whether it is too hot or too cold or too wet or whatever. How to get out of this? What is the way?

Why do we experience opposites? Why does this duality come into our experience? Why? Why do we experience duality? What is the cause for these dual experiences?
Q. 178:

They begin to declare, “Everything is born in me, everything exists in me and everything dissolves in me.” No doubt it is a fact. I don't doubt the statement at all because this declaration is from the Vedas. So all sacred texts emphatically declare this. But question yourself, is it my experience?

With such things happening around as we come to know these developments after Swami is away from us physically, how should we react? How should we feel about it? How should we respond?

Q. 89:
What about envy and jealousy?
Today in society we find evil qualities, particularly envy and jealousy. This is more in the educated community, the so-called civilized society. The urban society has more of these qualities of envy and jealousy. This we don't find in rural areas. And this we don't find among the lower classes of our society. Somehow, I feel that these two, envy and jealousy, are more and more among educated people and professionals. Unfortunately, these two are stepping into the field of spirituality also. We find people are jealous of each other. They envy also in a congregation or in any religious gathering. Therefore, envy and jealousy have touched every section of the community. So, what is to be done about it?
Q. 90:
We find some people who are always serious, look very much worried, and they are very angry with everybody. Anger seems to be their main feature. They begin to shout. That's all. We know many people like that. And there are some people who start hating you for no reason, for no reason. But there may be a group of people that love you. There may be many people who feel jealous of you. So, these are all the qualities that we find in the modern society. How am I to tackle these people who are angry or who hate me or who are jealous of me? How am I to tackle these people?

Sairam, Our beloved Bhagavan illustrated an example in the discourse on Bhagavad Gita with regard to the life span of the human beings as follows.
Young man of 25 years strikes a stone 20 times but could not break. An old man breaks it into pieces by striking two times. Swami has said that the old man was able to break as the stone has become weak after 20 stokes. So, totally 22 strokes was done. It is not that the young man is weak or the old man is strong. Young people die as they complete their karmas from their previous births. We can understand the concept. I want to know the comparison of the stone which swami mentioned for. Please explain this comparison further as you know the real meaning of this part.

Answer posted on June 27th, 2020: Q. 1, ON DETACHMENT, SURRENDER, AWARENESS, AND VEGETARIANISM CLICK HERE
12 June, 2020 Sairam!
I would like to as a question. I hope this is the right place.
Professor talked about detachment and Swami's example of dropping the handkerchief sounds very simple and so easy and it is all that as a concept.
My question is, how does that work in practical terms with family and life's hard moments like illness, poverty, etc. Can we really detach?
I just listened to your saiwisdom. So I am intrigued with Swami's answer about why we are not continuously in a state of awareness.. I always thought that to go be continuously in a state of awareness one has to have an "empty" mind. No other thoughts than one pointed concentration in God. Swami said, "It Is Doubt that keeps us from being continuously aware."
My question is: Are there different types of awareness? If so, what are they?
How to know if I have surrendered to God? We say the words “I offer my thoughts, words and deeds to YOU”. We say the words but is that enough? How do I know if that is enough? What should my life look like if I have truly surrendered to God?
Bhagavan's views on vegetarianism and how to control the monkey mind?
Q. 27. Sairam, I want to ask a question from many days: How to find peace within ourselves amidst negativity?
Q. 28. I don't want to project flaws of others but people are only selfish and self-centered in spite of being genuine and kind. It is one kind of repulsion you experience with certain people and situations. You literally want to run away. But you cannot. And when you feel that you don't fit anymore in this world, what to do? Please help.
Q. 29. Sometimes goodness becomes a weakness. I want to be firm at times but I cannot. What is to be done now? But I found one truth really. Nobody can love you unconditionally except God, I know. We know there is nobody else other than God. How to love Him unconditionally?
Q. 30. Most of the time, we identify ourselves with our body and mind. How to identify that I am Atma? Is there any shortcut or easy way? I mean, if i am identified with body and getting desires, how to remove desires immediately? How to be away from this identifications? Though we identified ourselves with mind and body, how to rectify it immediately?
Q. 31. All roads lead to love! How do we get there? How can you describe the journey towards unconditional Divine love?
Q. 32. Swami always said: "You and I are one." Everyone is God. But I want to know when someone starts feeling that I am God. Don't you think it is also a one kind of ego?
Q. 33. Sairam. Would you please explain the difference between "abhimanamu "(attachment) and "atma abhimanamu" (attachment to the Self)?

All are happy with Marathi translation seva. Initially everything was new for everyone. Now, with Swami's grace and blessings everything is going on smoothly. Good feedback about Manorama aunty's voice modulation. Very clear voice.
Many have got involved in this seva. As we were running short of translators, we approached Anil Khedekar Uncle (non devotee) who lives in Mumbai but due to lockdown got stuck up in Karwar. He does Marathi translation from Karwar. He was so happy listening to your audio that he was reminiscing all things which his guru had taught him about atman, long back in 1976.
He was working in Shamrao Vittal co-operative bank. He used to translate the forms from English to Marathi. He was really feeling blessed that God has given him this opportunity. He doesn't know anything about Swami and you, but still is doing the seva wholeheartedly.
So many years we were involved only in Seva, balvikas and other activities. But in this lockdown period, Swami is giving Jnana through you. You explain each concept in such a simple way with so many examples, it is amazing. Difficult things have been explained so easily. Specially Turiya!!! 😊 All have started thinking deep and discussing in groups and study circles.
Thanking Swami for giving so much Jnana through you🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹

As I was listening to your talk on the difference between Discrimination and Judgment i was very impressed with this talk. This is exactly what the devotees and the world need to know more about. Discrimination is very much needed today because people don’t know "How to Discriminate".
They know the word but they don’t know how to use the Buddhi to discriminate and also don’t know how to find the truth when we are exposed to all situations that need discrimination. They don’t know the importance of discrimination. Lack of discrimination is the cause of all suffering. But we don’t know how to be interested in discrimination, how important it is and how to use it, and the knowledge that without discrimination you cannot be spiritual, happy or in peace.
I think you have more to say about discrimination. We should make a website only on this topic. We have to see the way to interest the devotees to discriminate. Material about discrimination should be put together to motivate the devotees. There is a lot to say about this topic. The devotees will appreciate if it is put in a motivational manner.
People are interested in discrimination but when it comes to putting into practice discrimination, they find it difficult to do. This is because there is no knowledge out in the world of "the karmic consequences of discrimination”. The consequences of no discrimination are huge. This is what i feel and I want to share this feedback about this topic.
I have listened to your talk and there was lots of information that I did not know which impressed me a lot. This talk has motivated me to take a deeper determination to practice the knowledge of discrimination and to learn more about it. I feel you, as a devotee and as Sai Baba’s translator, can reveal and share all the knowledge about it.
There are many devotees who don’t know what decision to take on many situations due to a lack of discrimination and they will be very happy to have more information and experiential knowledge about it. Satsang with an experienced person like yourself who is knowledgeable about this topic is very necessary. And also there are lots of devotees who make the wrong decisions because they lack discrimination, such as following other so-called masters that are clearly frauds.

I think you have more to say about discrimination. We should make a website only on this topic. We have to see the way to interest the devotees to discriminate. Material about discrimination should be put together to motivate the devotees. There is a lot to say about this topic. The devotees will appreciate if it is put in a motivational manner.
People are interested in discrimination but when it comes to putting into practice discrimination, they find it difficult to do. This is because there is no knowledge out in the world of "the karmic consequences of discrimination”. The consequences of no discrimination are huge. This is what i feel and I want to share this feedback about this topic.
I have listened to your talk and there was lots of information that I did not know which impressed me a lot. This talk has motivated me to take a deeper determination to practice the knowledge of discrimination and to learn more about it. I feel you, as a devotee and as Sai Baba’s translator, can reveal and share all the knowledge about it.
There are many devotees who don’t know what decision to take on many situations due to a lack of discrimination and they will be very happy to have more information and experiential knowledge about it. Satsang with an experienced person like yourself who is knowledgeable about this topic is very necessary. And also there are lots of devotees who make the wrong decisions because they lack discrimination, such as following other so-called masters that are clearly frauds.

Your valuable points on how to open your heart is just amazing. I don't know how to make such a picture-clear analysis on every topic.. .That too in both languages with proper vocabulary without disturbing it's meaning.. So great! I want to learn this. Many must have told you and appreciated you on many a dias; that may be natural or uncountable thing for you but not for me. From Nagamani Hyderabad

I don't have any idea about self or Atma so far in my life, but your series of talks give me an awareness about self, Uncle. During the past weeks, after starting to translate statements about this Atmic principle, I really prayed to Swami to translate Himself as it is such a deep topic. Yet you have made it easy, Uncle! Even when I sit and read Swami's books, I skip these tough topics. But now I understood how it is most essential for one's own life. The phrase 'constructional reorganization' is needed in everyone's life Uncle, as Swami said. 100% this series of episodes would bring change in everyone's life 🙏Sairam, Archana

Sir, The Advaita has been simplified through this talk of yours. This will enable all to easily understand the TRUTH of greatest TRUTH. By your quoting what Swami had said on this aspect of Reality adds the 'Brahma Vakya' and enhances the excellence of the talk and lends its authenticity. Thank you Sir. Jai Sai Ram, Dr Malhotra

Om Sai Ram!
I pray you are well and always happy!
I wanted to give my feedback on two of the talks from Professor Anil Kumar.
I just listened to Thursday's potcast and it was a treasure of beautiful reminders and examples given by Swami on the distractions we have, which prevent us from seeing our own Atma and from recognizing our true self! I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to Professor Anil Kumar and everyone who helps to make these talks available to all of us.
The other talk I truly appreciated to listen to is the symbolism of the story of Krishna.
Being a 'foreigner'I did not grow up hearing Krishna's stories and leelas, but I did read and watch the Mahabharata. However, seeing Krishna acting as an ambassador vs as a Divine person enhanced my understanding of that war between good and evil. In addition, the symbolism of Krishna's place and time of birth was something I had not heard or read before, and it certainly made beautiful sense!
Thank you again to all who contribute to Professor Anil Kumar's holy work!

A subject regarding The Fundamental And Vital Reality of The -Atma- made easily understandable. The (Podcast 51) talk gives a practical understanding which is essential for internalizing various aspects of Spirituality.

Sairam Suresh🙏. The talks of Sri Anilkumar garu are not ordinary. We need to preserve those talks. We need to create folders like Q and A etc and transfer each one to one SD Card and then create copies. Kindly transfer these talks to the SD cards I gave, and then let us have copies on SD cards. We will make a design, and distribute to the devotees. Please help me if you have stored the talks. They are priceless. Good morning.This is from Sri. CHARY, San Antonio, TX.

Sai Ram dear Professor Anil Kumar!
It has been my pleasure and spiritual satisfaction to listen to your various podcasts. I have especially enjoyed the Question and Answer sessions and the direct interactions between yourself and Swami, something that is new to me and many of your listeners. I thank you for the beautiful and so useful explanations in regards to Prema Sai and reminders of our spiritual duties in the present. I am a fan of all your programs and I know of many others who feel the same. We pray that Bhagawan will keep us connected and we will continue to appreciate and learn from your experiences and your wisdom! Jai Sai Ram!

Sai Ram dear Professor!
I have listened to your 45th Sandesh a few times, as I found it very rich in spiritual truths. Religion vs religiousness/Spirituality, Truth is One, Unity and equality of all humans, practice vs words and much more.. Thank you! I will take away the most important lesson of "Love is not love if it is just a word we utter. Love is Love when We ARE loving, when we are Love ourselves!." I strive for that! Thank you again for touching us all with your continued loving support.

Sai Ram dear Uncle,
Instead of having to scroll down, 2 topics can be arranged horizontally and similarly the rest to be arranged.. The size of photos have to be reduced. This will give the viewer to glance at the topics easily, rather than having to scroll for each topic. (Eg: Radio Sai Home Page.). Just a suggestion. Thank you.

Sairam Professor and Uncle, The audio link is perfect. The clarity of your message is quite moving. We can feel your boundless love and faith and dedication for Swami. Your ambition to simplify His teaching for the masses is to create a new Sai Geeta. We need another Vyasa to recite and Lord Ganesha to write His glory. Hopefully soon. Thank you for inspiring us all as usual. We love you and Aunty.
