Projections

Can the non-local domain within be assailed and disrupted from without by anything other than projected aspects of one’s own awareness?

Grace

What role does grace play in relation to karma? If I hurt someone and genuinely seek forgiveness am I released from the consequence of hurting that person? Does grace cancel the reaction of the action?

Progress and Depression

After struggling with trying to make a positive transformation in my life for about a year, I’ve noticed that not much has stuck permanently. I find it hard to wake up each morning and remember what positivity I felt the night before. Many people characterize this as depression, and after recently browsing over the symptoms I think I’m suffering from a major bout of it. My question is how does one achieve lasting change when suffering from depression, which makes each and every day feel hopeless and scary. I’m trying to feel at peace with this situation, but in reality I feel like I’m suffocating each day. Please help if you can.

Sin and Eating Meat

I’ve read your books and some articles in the newspapers. I’ve a question regarding non-veg food. Some people say that we should not eat non-vegetarian food, because in that process we end up killing or taking lives. But, I do not identify with this reason. Because plants and vegetables have also got life. And, a recent research that I came across in ‘The Times of India’, suggests that if we play some soothing music in front of a plant, it helps it grow in a far better way. Then, Are we not killing lives by eating vegetarian food as well? I understand this logic, ‘Jaisa ann, waisa mann’ and about the negativity of the food. Since childhood I have been told, ‘Life lives upon life’. So, my question to you is quite unequivocal, Is eating non-veg food a sin? I’m looking forward to an explicit explanation, instead of an abstruse answer.

Dealing with Rejection

I was a teacher for a Business school and proposed to my own student by SMS (text message), but all I got was rejection. I took it positively and never disturbed my student for not accepting my proposal.
Despite my honesty, I was asked to move out of college as my own student betrayed( she behaved calm after i proposed and we never talked each other till my blast day at college) me by informing my college management. They didn’t gave me single chance to justify and with weakened heart i moved out of the college.

She was good student and i used to motivate all my students to reach there eexcellency and bring changes around them, i was taken by surprise at how she betrayed me ( her parents might have complained about me) but she didn’t keep me in loop. When I heard this news from management I felt like I was falling. It’s been 20 days and I never asked her for an explanation of her betrayal and I kept praying for divine intervention. Since then I came back home and have stayed with my mother. I got placed in another Business school in my native city. I am still in a lot of pain.

I am asking your guidance as Should I go and talk to them ( the girl)? Should I express my pain and sorrow? Should i curse her or should I spare her?
