YOUR QUESTIONS & SWAMI SHYAMENDRA’S ENLIGHTENING ANSWERS

Why do you guys observe silence often?
Because, when we don’t talk to people and stop all conversations, also inner mutterings, then the Nature through a very sensitive and mystical way begins to talk to us. Thus the doors to the Wonderful are opened in our life.

How can we become genuinely spiritual?
A thirst, a quest, a yearning has to be developed. For that fellowship with wise men is necessary. Then you have to select one and with his help try dismissing your ego systematically. Then gain the depth in Mystic Trance. This is one wing. Second is gained by browsing my book Who Am I? and Ecstasies of Just Being Myself. Try your spiritual muscles with pairs of opposites. When you prove to be unshakable you got it.

Even if I become spiritual or Enlightened what difference does it make to the world?
By the very nature as a person is restless ,in a way— a misery manufacturing machine. That is a built-in program. You are hurtful to others and yourself. By being spiritual you are less hurtful, less miserable. By being Enlightened you become an inexhaustible source of bliss-consciousness and all which are needful to life. You are an unintentional benefactor of the whole universe just by your very presence.

What if the aggressor is too powerful and wealthy?
That should not be enough to suppress your feelings and cow down before injustices.

That is where my commentary on “Gita” comes to help you.

What is helping and how it helps the helper?
Help has three dimensions. When it is done for fame or popularity it is a social act. When it is done for atonement it is a religious act. When you feel natural discomfort and compassion upon the miserable conditions of others and help happens as reflex action it is a highly spiritual act. It fills you with angelic qualities. It becomes meritorious deed (punya) and transcendental service in its advanced stages. When this service is directed to the suffering mankind it composes your fate to be peaceful and fortunate. When it is directed to a wise man it makes you enlightened in deeper mysteries of life and Existence. When it is directed towards national and international betterments it is called political fortunes and you move to become honest senator, governor ,President or philosopher plus warrior king of Plato’s concept or Ramarajya of Gandhi’s concept.
