Gurudev, today you ignored me again; why don’t you want to look at me?
Let me tell you a secret; you are very special. I ignore only very, very, special people, otherwise I attend to everybody. ... -
Gurudev, you have almost fulfilled each and everyone’s wishes. Is there any wish of yours that is left to be fulfilled?
If that is the case then I would not be sitting here. No one can sit here (in Satsang) with unfulfilled wants and desires. When desires quieten down, then bliss and happiness springs forth from within.My answer for this question is both ‘yes ... -
Gurudev, if we work for four to five hours, or meet 10 people during the day, we get so tired. We just feel like relaxing and doing nothing at the end of the day. Do you ever take a vacation?
Yes of course, in between life times! (Laughter)See, we never get tired when we do anything that is in our nature. The river never gets tired of flowing, the air does not get tired of flowing, the Sun does not get tired of shining. So when ... -
Who is your favorite teacher?

It was delightful to hear you say we need to nurture diversity and pluralism. However, I have an honest confusion. One of the most potent levers in society to move towards diversity and pluralism is politics. I struggle with some of the political preferences that you have chosen in the recent past and how they sit with the goal of promoting diversity, pluralism, and tolerance.
First of all, let me clarify to you, I don’t have any particular political preference at all. If you ask a newspaper which political party they are aligned to, they would say none, that is, if they are a good, ethical newspaper.A judge ... -
When you engage other world leaders and talk about your agenda of peace, what do you talk about? I am just curious about what goes on in your negotiations and what do you ask of world leaders?
First of all, when I meet anybody, I meet them as human beings. Just remember, even though somebody is a world leader, they are human, so they have their own issues. So I meet them on a human level. If the leaders are stressed, you can imagine the conse ... -
Gurudev, you travel so often and to so many places. Do you not get exhausted because of travel?
Do you ask water if it gets tired of flowing? Do you ask the tree if it ever gets tired of standing all the time? Does it not wish to lie down for a while? These trees have been standing for so many years. Have you asked the Sun if it gets tired of shin ... -
