I am regular reader of your books , Namaste ,and your fan too. I migrated from India before two years and now in USA.I have some question about goal setting.
My ultimate or final spiritual goal is to do so many things for society, monks, spread spirit for vegetarianism, help mentally emotionally, and financially to poor people of India, remove misconception for our country (India) and spread our culture, religion, god, good points like non violence, ayurveda, yog, pranayam (which you are doing in excellent way and I get inspiration from you too.)
Now to do all thing lot of money is required, but at present I have not sufficient fund to do so but my passion for all the things are intact.
So how can I prepare programme to give suggestion to my subconscious mind?

My questions are:
1) I have to split my goal in separate category like, spiritual, financial, personal, and career?
2) At present I am doing job and my goal needs lot of money for charity, for that I have to give Suggestion to sub conscious mind for the amount need to accomplish
my goal?
3) My spiritual, financial, and personal goals are almost connected with each other.
But I have to make my career still at my age of 44, as I am not satisfied with my career.
4) For selection of career I have to visualize only the end result like I have very good job which satisfy me ,earning of money at the required level, or I have to select the POSITION FOR JOB AND THE NAME OF COMPANY ALSO ?

Currently I’m investigating the thought that I’m “avoiding”.

Can you bring some clarity as to what “avoiding” means?
For example, I have a large “to do” list. Any time I do one thing, in a sense I’m avoiding doing another thing.
How does one prioritize and understand when it’s just the ego saying “You should be doing something else” or when it’s actually our inner intelligence or intuition telling us that we should be doing something else? I can’t seem to tell the difference.

I was reading your thoughts about the law of least effort. Accepting people and your situation every day is a very helpful and joyful experience. My question is that I am in a loveless and emotionally abusive marriage. I have exhausted all means to try to make it work. If I am to accept people and situation then how do I handle this. Is a person suppose to stay in a relationship that is unhealthy physically and spiritually and try to accept. I am just trying to understand where we draw the line of acceptance.

I have read few of your books and one of my favorites is The Path of Love. I always wonder about the quote that you gave at the end of the book. It says that “Love is not the way you feel and behave, but it’s the level of awareness”. Honestly, I have failed understanding the meaning of this quote since I have read it (which is about more than one year). Would you please kindly explain the meaning of it to me?
I also want to ask you that what is true love (love for your life-partner)? Can it change with time? And if it does, then is it a true love? May be I have made a wrong definition of love in my life, and that’s probably the reason I’m suffering emotionally. I will look forward to the right guidance from you Dr. Chopra.

I am having doubts about the beliefs of a path I have been seriously following. This path, Akram Vignan from Dada Bhagwan, has an enlightenment ceremony in which one can have direct experience of the Pure Soul, after which one follows five basic steps for life which will take one towards moksha. This path does not hold that meditation is useful for this spiritual development; it is considered an experience of phases of mind, not direct experience of the soul. I had been meditating and reading widely until finding this path a year ago. I did not know where I stood about God, but was searching for spiritual connection.

In recent days I have started to question the fact that this path does not hold that there is no God as creator of us and the universe. God is simply within all life and the universe is created by “scientific circumstantial evidences”. Some part of me believes there is a higher power we are from and also can connect with. I also feel that surely meditation is one way of connecting and a truly spiritual tool that can also lead one to final liberation.

My questions regarding leaving the path:
I will try meditating again. But I am confused and worry that if I resume meditating on my own, I might get lost or not progress as I would under a guide. I have read before that meditation requires a teacher to help one navigate and stay on the right path.

Which brings me to finding a teacher – an enlightened guide. Again, I am concerned about how to find a guide and teachings that I accept entirely. I am scared because I have heard that one can be deluded (for instance in leaving my current path), so can I trust my own judgement? Shouldn’t I be able to tell the Right Way for me when I find it?

Do you believe that the right guidance will always come to someone sending out a fervent request to the universe for help?
