http://www.womanthouartgod.com/yoga.php#swamiji

OM Namo Narayan
Maha Shanti OM

THANK YOU BELOVED LIGHT OF GOD IN ADVANCE

* IS IT BETTER TO HAVE A LIVING GURU THAN TO WORSHIP GOD FROM AFAR OR
IN THE
OTHER DIMENSION?

G Yes - a living Guru is in touch with what is taking place Now ...

* IS IT BETTER TO HAVE A LIVING GURU THAN WORSHIP ONE THAT HAS PASSED
ON? IF
SO, WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

G the Living Guru can give instruction and Guidance that pertain
to the Seekers individual path ... they can shed light on a place
where the
Sadhaka is blind to ... Whereas it is always the misunderstood line
that "why
must i go to an outer Guru when i can hear my Own Inner guru " and the
answer to
this is that inner guru that one hears within may also be tinged with
the voice
of the ego..
a Sat Guru can distinguish the difference between your egoic mind
versus what is
real and valuable promptings ... Yes some of what
is coming through May be valid ... and yet some of what is coming
through may
be just tinged with enough egoic mind to make it severely skewed and
off ....

* HAVE NOTICED THAT ON SOME GROUPS, EXAMPLE GURU RATINGS, THEY GO ON
AND ON
ABOUT GURUS, BUT THEY CANNOT SERVE ONE. THEY SEEM TO BE IN
DESPERATE NEED (SOME OF THEM) AND ARE SORT OF LIKE RUNNING AROUND THE
POST, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO STOP AND RECEIVE ANYTHING. ONE LOVELY YOUNG
MAN, AS AN EXAMPLE, 'S' BEGAN SERVING YOU, AND QUIT. HE ADMITS HE
FAILED, HE SAID SO ON TWO GROUPS.

G it is not about *serving* a Guru like a slave... it is about
Surrendering
to the promptings that pertain to hearing the Guru's insight about what is
holding one back ... about diving into what is given Wholeheartedly
without
reservation... if you can't or are not willing to trust the Guru you
are with
then one of two things is taking place

1. either the Guru is not living what is being spoken of ... (in that case
leave)
2. you aren't committed enough nor wise enough nor ready for the
advanced part
of the path which is cutting through rather than building up ...


* NEXT, HE BECAME MY FRIEND AND DEFENDED ME VALIANTLY ON GR. BUT
WHEN THE
'WAR' WAS OVER, AND I CALLED HIM ONE DAY TO TALK, HE TOLD ME HE COULD
NOT BE
FRIENDS, BECAUSE I AM A GURU!

G what was said about this before? is this not what i said concering
this that
the person in question hops here and there and has no stability ?

* NEXT, HE POSTS DOZENS OF POSTS EVALUATING AND SEARCHING FOR
GURUS. DO
THESE PEOPLE MAKE SENSE TO YOU?

G yes - they are in maya mind and suffering

* WHY CAN'T THEY RECEIVE SOMETHING FROM YOU OR ME?

G ego is so unstable as they are not ready for anything that
challenges the supports they desperately hold on to or are searching
for... many
have to believe they are better than gurus and that
nothing may be given to them as they are holding onto and projecting
an image of
being strong or wise or whatever they believe secretly they are not
(one of the
conditioned driving forces) ... the pendulum swings hard from one side
to the
other ... it takes Strength to Surrender - many in the world view it as
weakness ...

* WHY CAN'T THEY STOP THE SEARCH WHEN THE GURU IS RIGHT IN
FRONT OF THEM? WHAT IS MISSING IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING?

G Wisdom and Discernment ...

* I HAVE HAD A LARGE NUMBER OF DEVOTEES NOW SO I CAN IMAGINE YOU
HAVE HAD MANY MORE. DO YOU HAVE THEORIES ON WHY THEY FALL APART, DENY
THE GURU
AND EVEN THE SHAKTI?

G there comes a point where their projections or expectations or
fantasy's are
not being met ... }there comes a point where what needs to be Seen
and looked
at 100 % without covering over in order to move forward ... many are
simply not
ready for that step ...
it is easier to leave and call the Guru a charlatan than it is to
look within and find out where their catching is .... easier to prop
up the ego
than it is to break through it ....

* WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE MAIN REASONS THEY 'FALL APART' OR 'HIT
THE WALL'
OR EVEN GO 'BALMY.' SOME, NOT MANY, EVEN BECOME TRAITORS AND ENEMIES.
DO YOU
HAVE STRONG IDEAS ON ALL THESE OCCURENCES?

G see above ...

* WHEN YOU GIVE DIKSHA, ARE YOU TRANSMITTING SHAKTI?

G it is unlocking the Shakti that is already there ....

* AND DO YOU GIVE THE SHAKTI IN STAGES?

G the more around the Guru or recieving on many levels the more
it may be increased .... when getting Energy work from a Guru there is
of course
more increase or breaking through that which is holding it back ....

* CAN YOU CONTROL THE SHAKTI, OR IS IT OUT OF YOUR CONTROL?

G one does not *Control* Shakti ... that is akin to wanting to
Control the Universe ... it is Fine when someone is not interferring
with it's
inherant Wisdom ...

* DO YOU GIVE PART OF IT OR ALL OF IT AT ONCE?

G All but most may not recieve the fullness of it at once ...

* AFTER YOU HAVE GIVEN THE SHAKTI TO A DEVOTEE, DOES IT GROW BY
ITSELF PROPERLY, OR DO YOU HAVE TO GUIDE THE PERSON?

G usually both ...

* IF THE PERSON TAKES OFF AND REFUSES TO HONOR AND OBEY YOU ANY
MORE, HOW
DOES IT AFFECT THE SHAKTI?

G it isn't about obeying in a external way ... it is about
Surrendering into
the Way or the allowing of Shakti to move
and release while giving the lessons needed....

* ONE GUY SORT OF TURNED HIS BACK ON ME AND WAS GOING TO 'FIND HIS
PERFECTION' BY HIMSELF - WHILE DENYING THE GURU WHO GAVE HIM THE
SHAKTI. WHAT
IS THE FATE OF SUCH A PERSON?

G depends on may factors.... no one point blank answer....

* IS THEIR ADVANCEMENT CURTAILED IN ANY WAY, OR DOES THE SHAKTI
CONTINUE TO
GROW AND MANIFEST NICELY EVEN THOUGH THE DEVOTEE DENIES THE GURU?

G it may stop if early in motion and not fully activated ... then
again it may
continue on and will give what the seeker may think they want, all as
another
illusional sidetrack (powers - projections - realms etc) ... Shakti
may aide the
journey to Clarity or may bring Greater Delusion....

* WHEN THE GURU GIVES THE SHAKTI, HOLY SPIRIT, DOES IT CONTAIN THE
SIGNATURE OF THE GURU WITHIN IT? IMO IT DOES, AND I CALL IT
'SPIRITUAL DNA'. THIS GOT SOME ANGRY AND HYSTERICAL RETORTS FROM
PEOPLE ON GROUPS, SAYING I AM DANGEROUS AND THEY WANT TO STAY AWAY
FROM ME. THEY HAD APPARANTLY A FEAR OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD CONTAIN MY
PERSONAL
SELF.

G it is beyond a personal self ... if there is a personal self
enhancing (?)
it then it is being skewed ....

* I GOT MY IDEA FROM JESUS, WHO LEFT US HIS BODY AND BLOOD IN HOLY
COMMUNION. IT SEEMS TO ME HE WAS SAYING IT IS NOT ONLY THE IMPERSONAL
GOD, BUT
IT HAS HIS MARK OR SIGNATURE WITH IT (THE SHAKTI). WHAT DO YOU SAY
ABOUT THIS?

G it was to Drink up All Aspects of what is being given ... Keep it
and see it
as Holy ... Hold onto the body of it as Precious Manna as a Holy
Offering ...
Whatever the Guru gives it is to be held
as Sacred and for ones edification and aiding in release from sins IE.
bondage
... Remember my Offerings to you.... ALL is for your benefit even this
ones life
on this plane ...


* ON THE SAME LINE, DO YOU LIVE IN ALL YOUR DEVOTEES THE WAY THAT
JESUS LIVES IN HIS? I THINK YOU DO.

G if they accept fully ... if not then partially as to their
openness....

* DO YOU BELIEVE, SWAMI, IN REACHING OUT TO ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE,
INCLUDING THOSE THAT SEEM TOTALLY LOST AND ADDICTED TO SIN, SEX AND
DELUSION?

G bondage and ignorance is one and the same across the board....

* DO YOU CASTE A WIDE NET OR A SMALLER NET, SEEKING ONLY
THOSE WHO ARE REASONABLY EVOLVED?

G those who have eyes to see Will .... those who have ears to hear
Will ....
the rest fall by the wayside ... some go a short way and seem to spout
up for a
time but then they are choked by the weeds of their attachments and
aversions.... they have not weeded the garden along the way ....

* IT SEEMS TO ME THERE COULD BE A FEW LEVELS THAT WE MINISTER TO
PEOPLE ON,
AS I HAVE NOTICED. SOME ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD, AND THEY GET BORN
AGAIN. SOME
ARE ADVANCED, AND THEY MOVE INTO THE HIGHER STATES, OR EVEN THE
SAHASRARA. THE
SAME SHAKTI AFFECTS BOTH TRANSITIONS. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

G each life gives an Opportunity for growth ... each Moment
gives an opportunity ... Shakti is Shakti ... it is Neutral the spin
that is
seen comes from the mind ...

* ARE YOU GOING TO OPEN AN ASHRAM IN MEXICO?

G No ... if people want it then they must make it happen ...

* WHAT PART OF MEXICO ARE YOU IN?

G Ajijic / Lake Chapala south of Guadalahara

* WHAT MADE YOU MOVE THERE?

G was time ...

* IS IT PLEASANTER AND REASONABLE LIFESTYLE TO LIVE IN?

G it is fine ...


* I HAVE BEEN IN MEXICO FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, ONE TIME WAS THERE OVER
A MONTH.
AND IT IS PARADISE AND YES, YOU CAN GET SERVANTS REAL CHEAP AND
HOUSING AS WELL.
BUT THIS WAS IN THE SIXTIES.

G it is getting more expensive by the day in this area as it is
becoming a big
spot for retirees ... many come with much money and that drives up
the costs...
although i have heard that a gardener
or having someone coming in to clean a couple of times a week is
reasonable ...

* WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS THERE, SWAMI?

G just be in the moment ... same as anywhere ... hahahahahaah
Although did just spend the day with another Swami who happens to be
also a Sat
Guru ... it was a great day with much Laughter ...
that Sat Guru is translating texts from hindu and Sanscrit into
English ... she had a large ashram near to here but closed it down in
order to
put full attention into the translations .. maybe i have been sent in
to pick up
the slack ...


INFINITE LOVE, RASA

Love & Light
Great Peace & IS
