Q: What is the root cause of our suffering? A: Ignorance. And the depth of our identification with that what is impermanent. When our identification is with our soul, there is no suffering. Q: What is the easiest and most powerful mantra that you could recommend for daily chanting? A: Aum Namah Shivaaya, Aum Namo Bhagawathe Vaasudevaaya or Aum Sai Ram. These are all powerful mantras. It helps one in detachment. Q: Spirituality is? A: Simplicity and Unconditionality. Faith and Patience. LIBERATION from everything, including name, form and karma. Q: What helps liberation? A: Spontaneous and effortless shedding of habits that you could not have lived without, otherwise. The wisdom behind the shedding itself is a confirmation of personal spiritual evolution. Gurus will happen in life automatically and guide further. As I mentioned earlier, Guru is a principle. It could take mouth and talk, or it could come as a message from the nature. The bottom line is, Guru happens in life, when you need him the most. Q: Is Shaivic path different from Vishnu’s path? A: No. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are all aspects of the same God supreme.They represent three different aspects of existence. Jesus and Buddha are one. Krishna and Rama are one. Zoroashtra and Mahaavir are one. Parabrahma, Father and Allah are one. You and I are one. Beyond every form is the one God. Just like you can wear only the dress that suits you, your chosen path should be suitable for you. Then, destination is reachable. Otherwise, detours are inevitable. Q: Dependency on Guru A: Shirdi Sai Baba has enlightened many. Adi Shankaraacharya, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi and Bhagawan Nithyananda have also enlightened many. By just following Guru’s instruction, by just surrendering to the will and instruction of the Guru, by just serving the Guru without expectations, people have attained enlightenment. Faith is the key here. Faith can take us to the highest. Complete and perfect surrender to the sadguru, making Him the main object of worship, obeying His words to its fullest, disciples can cut out the weeds of uncertainty and attain supreme bliss. All sadgurus test their disciples to make sure that they have attained the right eligibility for receiving the highest. Faith, Surrender and Patience mature a disciple and help his elevation. The Guru takes care of his well being. Q: Do you recommend any other Gurus? A: I recommend all Gurus. You should choose the Guru that is best for you. All Gurus have value and purpose. Nothing on earth is ever wasted. Let us not compare Gurus nor ridicule them. If someone does not suit your constitution, please do feel free to leave him. If a Guru binds you to himself through fear or control, by all means, leave him. He is insecure. If any Guru does not bend you or bind you, and elevates you from the level that you are on, without adding any guilt or fear, that Guru is good and please be with him, in full surrender, faith and devotion. He will take you higher. pkmohan.wordpress/2010/02/26/a/
