The best way to learn is to ask questions. The second best is to listen to what others are asking. The magic is in the listening.
How to Act Without Attachment?
In this Q&A, the teacher explains how to act with awareness rather than attachment. Using the example of a train seat, she shows that duty performed from Self-awareness is not attachment. The Self — the conscious “I” — must awaken and take charge of the mind, intellect, and senses, becoming the true master and driver of life.
The Inner Meaning of Curses and Blessings in Scripture
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that curses (shraap) and blessings (vardaan) in spiritual texts are symbolic. A curse represents the presence of impurity that needs purification, while a blessing indicates inner strength or virtue. Both point to our inner evolution — not external magic, but the inevitable movement of the soul toward higher consciousness.
Are Omens Real or Symbolic?
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that omens (shakun–apshakun) in the Ramayan are symbolic. Nature itself is neutral; omens have no real power. It is our thoughts, beliefs, and state of mind that create their effect. When we live in awareness, omens lose all influence — they are only reflections of our own thinking.
Why Ram’s Virtues and Shurpanakha’s Vices Are Described Together
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that Ram and Shurpanakha symbolize two inner states within every person — Self-awareness and body-attachment. The sage describes both together to show that we must use our higher awareness (Ram) to overcome the lower tendencies (Shurpanakha) that still rise from within.
Cutting Off Shurpanakha’s Nose and Ears
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that Shurpanakha’s nose and ears being cut is not a physical act but a symbol. It means making the force of attachment powerless through awareness, thought, and willpower. Using daily life examples, the talk shows how self-knowledge and clear thinking weaken the hold of ego-based attachment.
The Inner Meaning of Ram and Sita’s Marriage
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that Sita represents our pure, sacred thinking — born when knowledge plows the field of the mind. Ram is the conscious Self, and their marriage symbolizes the union of the soul with purity, not a physical relationship.
