Radhe Krishna To all,
1.Why
does spiritualism enjoy less popularity amongst the young generation?
They seem to get easily attracted to all materialistic short-lived
pleasures of this world!
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
Firstly,
it is because it is simply nature of the mind to go outside and reach
out for trifling worldly pleasures. The problem is that the true
philosophy is kept concealed and wrong philosophy is what is being
propagated by fake masters. Unfortunately, weak-minded people are
caught into it.
---------------------------
2. I am well contented
person not having desire in material life. i am living a spiritual life
doing Prayer,mediation, Pranayam etc. I work for a meager income. But
my family and friends see me as a lazy person and brand me a failure. I
leave all my future to God. Is it right or not?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
A
Sadhu is a person who is totally dependent on God for everything – from
small mundane things to anything big – even Mukti. He accepts whatever
comes his way – as the blessings of God and will spend most of his time
on prayers. The rest of his time will be spent in taking care the
basic, minimal needs of his family. Sometimes, even a Sadhu’s mind may
be disturbed by happenings around him, unnecessary talks, gossips and
others’ opinion about him. But he will come out of it very soon and get
back on track and continue with his prayers.
---------------------------
3.
Even though one mind is saying that I should not think of any bad
activities like Kama, jealousy, etc., there is always another mind some
how goes in the wrong way. Is there any way I can avoid this dual
thinking?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
You
will have to understand that lust, jealousy etc. are inborn and are
very difficult to overcome in a short period of time, although
eventually we will have to win over them.
It is not dual thinking. The ‘manas’, based on the ‘vasanas’ (impressions) tend
to generate those
thoughts and the intellect (‘arivu’) issues warnings. That is it.
For
instance, a sugar-patient is tempted by sweets because of his ‘manas’.
At the same time, his intellect warns him against taking them, and says
that he might get into complications.
Whether the mind or the
heart wins – that depends on his will-power. And, undoubtedly, strong
will-power can be attained only by constant prayers.
---------------------------
4.
Will Nama Kirtan help us fight the malefic effects of planets in our
horoscope? But is it good to depend on astrology to take decisions in
life?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
Yes. Certainly. One who performs Nama Kirtan depends only on the grace of
Krishna. And for the sake of
such a devotee, Krishna plays football with all the planets.
---------------------------
5.
Swamiji always says Satsang is very important. How does a person attain
Satsang? I am not in a position to be a part of any Satsang now. We
have to keep away from worldly matters - but I fear that my family
circumstances will never let me keep away from worldly association.
Swamiji, please tell me how to love Krishna inspite of all the hurdles?
Will Krishna's grace carry me through it?
Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:
Chanting
Krishna Nama ensures that the love for the Lord deepens. When love for
the Lord deepens, Satsang will come to you on its own accord. Chant and
pray with faith to Krishna and this is the easiest way for Divine
grace. Be like a child in the care of Krishna. He knows what to give,
when to give and how to give.
