The Ultimate Truth – Q&A, No. 280

Recorded on 6 June 2026 with worldwide participants

0:00 Intro
0:08 The Ultimate Truth, beyond the appearance of the universe
7:19 The imagination must be within the Truth of Existence, but it is also away from the Truth; is that not a contradiction?
14:46 Is imagination itself the problem, or is it because we get involved with it, that it becomes a problem?
19:45 Should we avoid thinking that we are the creator of our thoughts?
22:06 We can call the Truth neither ‘something’ nor ‘nothing’ but Babaji has said, ‘It is there’?
30:03 Babaji has said that a separate world exists within our mind. What is the universe that is there outside our mind?
34:14 Babaji has said that science is not wrong, but scientists can be wrong. Is there a science underlying all of creation and the Truth itself?
37:23 How did the ancient sages know how to realise the Ultimate Truth?
40:30 At the level of Parabrahman, are the supreme consciousness and supreme energy are also imaginations?
41:52 What is the relationship between attention and imagination?
42:31 How is it that we can concentrate in between the eyebrows in meditation?
43:48 Where does the idea that we are all made of the same material come from?
45:30 When we are completely quiet, how does the Supreme Consciousness communicate with the individual imagination?
48:22 If everybody has come to play a role in this world, is it the soul’s plan or the Divinity’s plan?
50:11 When people make wrong choices in their life, is that their pre-birth soul’s plan?
50:48 After this lifetime, does the soul think that I have accomplished what I wanted to do, even though it was wrong?
51:32 When I am sitting for long in meditation, my head drops and interrupts my meditation.
52:15 If consistent meditation can lead us to samadhi, then what is the purpose of Tapas?
53:19 If the Self is non-dual and non-duality is the reality, then what is the point of anything anyway?
54:27 When something arises in the mind, how to not get involved in it again?
55:26 It seems challenging to quieten the mind.
56:12 Innumerable thoughts and concerns are in the mind – would it be necessary to come out of the complexity of the external world to achieve samadhi?
58:50 Difficult to stay in a community when practicing disciplined sadhana.
