0:00 Intro
0:09 Is it true that the present moment is the only real thing and that doership is an imagination in that present moment?
1:58 With the doership where you think “I am doing this”, are you not actually doing it – it’s the imagination that you are doing it?
3:02 A higher consciousness taking care of everything almost infers a Divine personality? Could you explain that?
5:09 How do we stay grounded at times when we are extremely happy?
8:17 So god only exists in silence?
10:16 Does the Divine have any wishes, or is it not involved in this universe?
12:59 When I meditate for more than 1 hour I start to feel anxious and uncomfortable mentally. How to overcome this?
13:59 What did Swamiji convey to you about the changes that came over him as a young boy in the period before he went into Tapas?
17:46 I remember hearing that Swamiji was attracted to a Shivalingam as a young boy?
19:10 After taking karma yoga seriously, I’ve noticed that my meditation is improving. Does the watching and the karma yoga work together to still the mind?
20:53 Is being still in daytime, not to think, a part of karma yoga?
21:03 After meditation when I intensely look at the space, I’m able not to recognise the objects in the space. Is this an enlightened state?
22:14 On the spiritual path, experiences are happening within, they are not seen. So how can a Guru help the person?
22:59 Where does the feeling of insecurity come from?
24:33 What is Babaji’s opinion about the claims of some spiritual teachers who talk about being able to read your mind or see the past or the future?
27:44 So would you advise pulling away, going in another direction if these myths are claimed?
32:56 What is the experience of feeling one with everything?
