#Ocean of Wisdom #Gurudev at Montreal Ashram 18th July. #Transcript Q. Even though I know what is good for me I am still attracted towards self destructive habits. Laziness etc A. See when you label yourself I am lazy you justify yourself then you get licence for it. First you remove your labels and spit it off. You think you dont know who you are. When you dont know who you are then you get more chances to remove it. Take simple determinations and see that it follows through out the day. I remember when I used to walk from my home to school I would count all my steps so with full awareness....... (something) .So just walk with awareness. So be determined. See within how many minutes will I do it. So take challenge for yourself and fulfil it. That is the way to increase your capacity. Okay Q. I heard the other day your comment on the situation I in Gaza and Ukraine we are a middle class family and stay in Canada. Yet our standard of living has stopped increasing despite increasing revenues. my personal opinion is that the regular people ware enjoying less freedom . The government are taking over more on us what do you think about it. A. Rules are essential in any society but it should not be too stifling. When you feel life is boredom thats when you should engage in all these activities. Day to day engage in some group activities. We are just caring for us and immediate families then we shrink and start getting upset at home. Q. I learn that planet Saturn affects majorly someones life. How long does it lasts . A. Astrology is the science of understanding it is the science that talks about the connection microcosm and macrocosm. How far the planets are and have connection to the planet earth and to entire creation. The ancieant people did know there is connection with the planets and body. Saturn is connected with legs and sesimy seed and crow as a bird and blue suffaire stone. today with all the powerful telescope we can find out how big the universe it. But ancient people knew it all. Its amazing. Its the science that is not being explored very well. if you are undergoing a particular Saturn period then it will effect you but it wont affect only in the bad way. If you have dispassion then it affects you less. Saturn is a very spiritual planet. If you are in the path then it will elevate your life. So that you can find the bigger wealth. Saturn can do good to us on the path if you are not then it will create problems so that you can get on the path. He will give you inner wealth or outer wealth. Saturn takes 30 years to take one circle around. It come for 2 and half year in each sign. Thats why people feel so desperate to come out . It can go to 3 to 5 years . In Indian its called sade satti. If Its lesser then they call it dhaiya. It come once in 30 years so 2 times in life. Second time it is not that bad. What is the help of astrology. If you know this then you turn spiritual and wait for the time to pass. It pulls you through the tough period. If you are already on the path then it can give you success. It gives indications. As there is always a grace element in it that can change anything anytime. Spirituality is step higher than this knowledge. Q. I have heard you talk about self effort. But In My Experience It Is All a Happening. Is this thought also a happening. A. Ya in one angle everything in general is happening. Q. The ashram garden is not doing well there are only 2 people there. Food isnt growing there. How can we tell people. A. All people in the ashram should spend few hours there. All n those who can come in the weekend should come. Next to German ashram the is a couple in eighties and how they maintain their garden entire day. Its very inspiring. We also have a peice of land next to them we need to learn from them. Q. I have a constant feeling that I am not doing that great. I feel envy when you love someone else. A. Nature of love is that you always feel you want to do more. When love is divining you feel ooh I have done enough. Thats why frustration feels in. A mother m feels she has not enough for the daughter. Q. Is it possible to repair trust in a relationship after a partner cheats. A. I have no experience of this. I can tell you suppose you were in that position and made a mistake unknowingly and if your partner does not forgives you then how will you feel. And your partner is in your shoe and not forgiving you .....would you fell okay? Or would you give your partner another chance. Nobody willingly wants to cheat anyone. Its temptation to get more and more. Your soul does not stop till it finds the ocean of joy and that drives someone to do things that are not ethical. You expects them to be an enlightened person. This is too much of an expectation from your side. Thats why spirituality is so essential for someone to grow in integrity. Q. What would be the best way to stay connected with you while overcoming the organisational politics. A. Wherever there are people there is politics. Politics means what?... people. If you think there is politics then it appears even bigger. Not everyone likes everybody. Someone likes some. not everybody vibes matches with everybody. Why you say politics because your vibes does not match with someone. You should simple know we are much beyond. Q. Why is it that when I am away from you I long for you. When I am near you there is still a longing for you. A. What ever it is.....it is. Q. Please say something about in-laws. A. This is a very common thing. In India I always tell in ashram that you leave your problem behind. One lady said my problem is my mother in law so can I leave her here. I said let me ask your mother in law whats her problem. I told her you have your own mother, where you not fighting with your mother everyday. You fought with your mother and forgot next day. Same way there is your mother In law and why dont you win her over with your love. When you fight with your own mother then do you stop talking to her ? No. Treat you mother in law in the same way. On day let her have her way one day you have your way. You dont need to hate them. How long will they be on this planet. Just image you where in the same position. You have a child and he gets married and daughter In law hates you and takes your son away would you like it ?.. In forest there are all types of animals they dont say you live on a different forest and I live in a different forest. Some day you be a deer and sometimes you become a tigress. Be a bacon of light and joy to the home you are in. You can change the situation you can change the people. If you hate someone too much then you have no freedom from them you will be born with them and they will be born with you. You will be stuck with them. You will come back to finish this over again and it will be tougher so better swallow the bitter pill and forgive them and give only joy. Stop hating. This is your first exercise In life to see how you can win over people heart. Spacially when you are in this path. We are changing the mindset of terrorist cant you change the mind of poor old lady. If you cant then accept her the way she is. Have patience. Q. Why are we here. Is there something we should be striving for everyday or longterm A. Thats good question and be with this question Q. What is shanti? A. Peace Q. Why do people say my guruji my master. A. Dont latch on to their words. The language has always my. You cannot speak without it. Let people say whatever they want to say. As long as there is a sense of belongingness and personal connection there is life. But why do you want to worry what other say. See their intentions and beyond their words. Q. What do you think of people who are divorced and are happy alone. Should they get married or not. A. There is no general reply for it. They can stay however they want but they should be happy.
