Q1. My divine is changing in the Sri Murthi and is walking with me every evening but I find it very difficult to hear him. How can I hear him? What advice can you give me, Bhagavan? 

 

Sri Bhagavan: In your case, this is specific to you, you have to start practicing the use of very auspicious words. In your relationship with your family members and friends, you must use auspicious words and also inwardly, you must start using auspicious words. The divine would soon start talking to you. 

 

Q2. Dear Bhagavan. You say that some conditions must be fulfilled so that the Divine can become physical: be free from all hurt and being grateful. How can I become free from hurt and is it possible when I am not awakened? Thank you, Bhagavan! 

 

Sri Bhagavan: Here we are not talking about some very fundamental transformation. All that is required is a simple apology from you. Or a simple seeking for forgiveness. If you do this, that is enough. 

 

Q3. Dear Bhagavan, will a person be healed if he or she goes into the second chamber of the Oneness Shrine just for one time? Or do we have to go more often? Thank you, Bhagavan! 

 

Sri Bhagavan: Generally speaking, it is enough to go once into the second chamber to be healed. Sometimes the divine would say, come back two times, three times or four times in which case you've got to follow that. If the divine does not speak, you could do it 2 or 3 times ... [not audible]. Now, in that specific shrine the healing is not occurring, you must move to another shrine where karma is getting cleared. Then the healing would happen. But ideally you should go to a shrine where healing is happening. But by and large, one visit is enough. That is what is happening in India. Soon the same thing will start happening in Germany also. With every passing day and week, the power would step up. 

 

Q4. Dearest Sri Bhagavan, many of us have sincerely prayed to receive the Divine physically in our lives. Some of us have also attended the Special Deepening in December and some of us had first experiences in the Oneness Shrines. However, our Divine hasn't materialized. We are longing for the most precious day - seeing our dear Lord physical - physical. What more can we do? 

 

Sri Bhagavan: You somehow inwardly believe it would not happen to you. You are judging yourself. What you must remember is you are not being judged by your God and you are accepted as you are. Even if you are the most terrible sinner on the planet, your God fully accepts you and fully loves you. That must somehow get inside you. You must become childlike. You could take your child to the shrine and the divine will instantly become physical to your child. That would give you confidence. Please understand, it's a very, very simple thing. Somehow you think, "How is it possible?" In the coming weeks, you are going to see how powerful the phenomenon is going to become. The God who becomes physical has told us. "Wait and See. This is nothing." So things are going to change dramatically.

 

Q5. Dear Bhagavan, I would like to quote two teachings: "Nobody is writing your destiny. You are writing your destiny yourself." and: "The Awakened One allows destiny to be created, the unawakened one tries to create destiny." The teachings seem to contradict each other. How does destiny work and how is it created? 

 

Sri Bhagavan: The essence of human life is freedom. This freedom has infinite possibilities. If there were no such possibilities or freedom, there's no such thing as life or God. In fact, that freedom only is life, that freedom only is God. Therefore any destiny could be created. The awakened one allows the universe or God to create their destiny. The unawakened one creates his own destiny from his conditioning. When you move into higher levels of consciousness, you will see the flow of life. Not only that. Whatever you want would start happening. That is what a human being is capable of. Remember the human being and God are two ends of the same spectrum and finally you realize that you are God yourself. That is what you are. But right now you have no freedom whatsoever. Your conditioning is making use of your life and your survival. And you are creating your destiny from your conditioning. 

 

Q6. Dear Sri Bhagavan, awakening is a gift that happens through God`s Grace. People cannot achieve it on their own. But why do some people seem to receive the Grace of God and others do not, although they pray for it? 

 

Sri Bhagavan: Whosoever asks God would get it, some people are childlike and have no questions or doubts. Others do not believe it is possible. But slowly you will change. One or two things happening will give you the confidence. And the other is you must have some intellectual understanding of what awakening is. If you keep asking, "Give me awakening", it will not happen. If you would ask, "Please liberate me from my suffering", it will happen. The courses are basically intended to bring you to ask exactly that. If instead of using words, you could feel the words, it will happen. All this could be overcome in the next few months. Don't be struggling too much. You are the struggle. 

 

Q7. One teaching says: "Fate is pre-determined but it can also be changed". If fate can be changed, can we do it and how can we do it? 

 

Sri Bhagavan: I was earlier mentioning the space of freedom. If you can move into that space, you can change anything. Right now you are not experiencing freedom. As you grow in your levels of consciousness, you will discover what freedom is. The freedom we are talking is not freedom from this or freedom from that. When we use the word freedom it refers to a space of infinite possibilities. When you get there, all these things change. Your problems either get solved or dissolved. That is what life is all about. 

 

Q8. Beloved Bhagavan,for many years I have been trapped in fear and depression. I am living without love, partner and job. My whole family is also trapped and I cannot help them. When I come to Oneness events I am full of joy and love, but after that I feel bad again. What can I do? Please help me. Thank you, Bhagavan. 

 

Sri Bhagavan: In your case, you need not do anything. I'll straight away bless you. Is the person in this hall? (No, the person is not in this hall.) I will straight away bless him. 

 

Q9. Dear Bhagavan, could you please explain to us how to work with the new form of the weekly webcast teaching? Now there is only one statement. You don't distinguish any more between awakened and not awakened. Thank you! 

 

Sri Bhagavan: We would soon be giving you a process which you have got to follow. It is going to be very very different. Love you all so much!
