You are here for a reason. Don’t struggle to find out why you are here. Just look closer and enjoy the journey. -Deepak Chopra
Meditation Practices
I´ve been practicing the So-Ham-Meditation you recommended in your book “The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desires” for quite a while and really have reaped some remarkable benefits from it, even though I only meditate once a day and only from Monday to Friday. I feel more centered in my everyday activities, experience more intuitive insights and synchronicities.
I realized lately in your current videos that now you tend to recommend the I-Am-Mantra. Is there a specific reason to that? I also read from other spiritual teachers, that the actual mantra of the breath is Ham-Sa. And there´s also Primordial Sound Meditation, where the Mantra is chosen very individually according to date, time and place of birth.
So I´m wondering, if there is something I should change in my meditation practice (aside from the fact that I should do it twice every day), which would make it even more effective. Are there really that much differences between the different mantras (there are a lot of them!) and should one stick to only one mantra for an extended period of time?
Evolution and Free Will
If we are all saints in the making, and God’s magnetic force pulls us toward him sooner or later,what happens to the freedom of choice? Sartre said: “Man is freedom”. If we choose not to be close to God, do you believe he would pull us toward him against our will?
Harmony at Home
I am a lecturer in a government college. My wife is complaining type personality and want every things to be done perfectly, and also very sensitive, she 29 years, and suffering from diabetes, and my parents are old, and they live with us, and there is no coordination between my mom and my wife. My wife manages a private school started by me and my friends. My mom though lives with us, though she does not sympathise with our busy schedule and always criticises my wife in front of others. My father is paralytic.
Regarding myself, I feel suffocated in this environs, I want a calm, peaceful and stressless life, I am a little spiritually inclined and want to gain lot of knowledge about myself and the world. I have done two ten day courses of Vipassana meditation. I want to leave all this behind and want to go for searching my inner self. But I don’t want my family members to be in trouble also. i want to live a life of bliss and happiness.
A New Creation Story: Beyond Religion and Science
Stephen Hawking made worldwide news with his sound bite about how the universe was created. Specifically, he said that a Creator is not needed to explain how the universe began. Behind the sound bite was a deeper insight, which is that one law of nature, gravity, transcends space and time. Therefore, as long as gravity exists, multiple universes can unfold out of nothing.
