Life is full of seeming paradoxes. Thought is a great asset that has helped man progress so far & yet it is also the cause of human sorrow.

An extract from the conversations with Deepamji

Ques:

Do we need a living guru or master?

Why exactly do we need a living guru or a living enlightened master?

Parama Pujya Shri Shri Nimishananda Guruji's reply:-

"Love" "GOD"who hv made us realize,(loving "God" is stteping forward in Spirituality)
Not "Realizations",(loving "Realizations" is stepping back in Spirituality because they r ours),

When I say I Love my Self I do not not mean something transcendental and universal but my personal sense of Self which is my God. I must explain further what I mean by this.

Our basic problem is that we know about sages and saints who have reached the pinnacle of spiritual development but do not know what it is to be Human.

Cause of the problem is not religion but our inability to differentiate between idea and fact.

I think the core of Spirituality consists in 'Living Without Choice'. This is not the opposite of Choice as we saw in previous blog that No-choice is also a Choice.

Father and Mother met and had a lot of progeny. They were all mostly Sons who were Mama's boys.

There can be no single path to Truth. In any case I realised long ago that much as I admired Ramana Maharshi or Jiddu Krishnamurti I would not want to be like them.
