Seeking Answers
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.
What Does “Twelve Years” Mean in Sita’s Story? — The Inner Symbolism of Time in Ramayana
A seeker asks: what is the meaning of the twelve years Sita spent with Dasharath before Ram’s exile?
The teacher explains that “years” in scripture don’t refer to time but to levels of inner growth. Sita represents purity of thought, Ram is Self-knowledge, and Dasharath is the pure mind. The “twelve years” signify twelve stages of consciousness before the soul begins its inward journey. A clear spiritual interpretation beyond historical reading.
“Who Am I?” Body vs. Soul, Compassion vs. Duty, and Rebirth — A Clear Q&A
A seeker asks about the nature of the Self, whether detachment makes us emotionless, how to balance compassion with justice, and what rebirth really means. The teacher answers with clear examples: separating “I am the body” from “I am the conscious Self,” why this deep habit formed, and how to replace it through steady remembrance. A faithful, simple English translation of the original Q&A.
The Connection Between Body and Soul — and Why Lakshman Acts While Ram Remains Still
In this Q&A, the teacher explains that every living being is a union of two forces — body and soul — like electricity and a bulb. Ram symbolizes the Self, the silent consciousness, while Lakshman stands for the manah-shakti, the power of mind through which the Self expresses and acts. Understanding this connection is the foundation of all spiritual study.
