Questions-Answers

How quickly can we attain happiness? What is the secret? Swami shows us the sure path to success today.

Everyone is eager to get happiness, and when there is a prospect of earning happiness that lasts, they jump at the idea; soon they are tired of the effort. They seek shortcuts, lean on others to carry their weight and aspire for much fruit in return for little cultivation. Rigorous discipline and steady faith are absolutely necessary for success in the spiritual struggle. Simply listening to or delivering discourses will not be of any use. One must control the senses which drag the mind towards the attractions of the external world. God pays heed to every devotee।

What is the secret of attaining wisdom?

When you scatter seeds on the surface of the soil, they do not germinate. You have to keep them inside the soil. So too, knowledge, if it is scattered on the surface, will not germinate; it will not grow into a tree and yield the fruit of wisdom. Plant it in your heart, water the plant with divine love, manure it with faith and courage, keep off the pests with singing of holy names and company of the holy, so that you benefit in the end. Start on this path of acquiring wisdom and Grace, peace and everything you need will be added unto you.
