Why do we divide the world, the human being and the divine? Do good and evil really exist or are they simply conditioned points of view? Is there a permanent ‘me’. Is there in me a place where there is no corruption, where there is real, absolute peace, order? Are the various scriptures of India and the Middle East similar to or in contradiction to your teaching? Is there any connection between the supernatural and religion?

What is faith? The answer to this question might seem obvious: believing in the existence of God. A better response, however, is more multidimensional and personal. Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI emphasized the importance of faith, calling out "the need to rediscover the journey of faith so as to shed ever clearer light on the joy and renewed enthusiasm of the encounter with Christ."

Das weltliche Leben überlebt so lange, wie man fortfährt, Fehler in anderen zu sehen. Es schwindet an dem Punkt, wo man damit aufhört, Fehler in anderen zu sehen. Man selbst wird völlig fehlerlos. Wie kann man diesen Zustand erreichen? Man erreicht ihn, wenn man seine eigenen Fehler sieht und nicht die der anderen.

It is said that parenting is the most important role in life, as well as the one for which there is the least amount of preparation! It is only natural to wonder how to be a good parent, to seek parenting advice, or to inquire into how to discipline children. Parenting teenagers requires the strongest parenting skills - and an almost endless supply of parenting tips.

In the arena of spirituality, there are unique and remarkable spiritual people who have achieved the highest levels of spiritual development. Some remain in seclusion, while others become spiritual teachers who support the spiritual transformation of humanity. The answer to the question “Who am I?” can only be given by a Gnani Purush (embodiment of Self knowledge). But to meet a Gnani Purush, and to access their spiritual power to achieve spiritual enlightenment, is extremely rare. One such Gnani Purush of recent time is Dada Bhagwan.

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life inevitably face challenges in their sincere pursuit of spirituality and practice.

Since times infinite, humans have been trying to know the reality of this world, but they haven’t yet known the truth. What actually has to be known is that Who am I, Who runs this world, and Who created this world. Usually, if something good happens then one takes the doer ship, whereas if something bad happens then one starts to blame God or his own unfavorable stars. All these are wrong beliefs. God is not prejudiced that he will make you suffer. Who runs the world? There is no independent doer in this world. Scientific circumstantial evidences are the doer.

Those seeking to lead a spiritual life, or just wondering how to become more spiritual may become inspired towards serving others, or giving Seva (selfless service). To learn how to serve God one might emulate spiritual people, study with spiritual teachers, or look to different types of religion and different types of yoga. But finding spiritual guidance on the topic of Seva is not always easy. One might be left wondering, "Is service to humanity a higher means to make a donation - or should I simply donate to charity? What are the best charities to donate to, or to serve?".

In moments of reflection, it is only natural to wonder what is the true purpose in life and to ask, behind the constant efforts made just in “living”, what is it that we are seeking?
