Q1:
Dear Bhagavan, you talk about transformation of the awakened people. How can I know that my transformation is in progress? How can I know that I am on the right way? Could you please give some examples? Thank you, Bhagavan.
Bhagavan: There are two kinds of experiences. The awakened experience and the conversion experience. There are different experiences. We first give you the awakening experience. This could either be sudden or gradual. This makes you awakened. When we say you are awakened, what it means is you could be aware of what is going on any time. You could still get angry, you could still get hurt. But your awareness could get you instantly out of it. The one who has had a conversion experience is a transformed person. He or she does not get angry or hurt in the first place. After your awakening we are moving to a deep conversion experience. Saints and sages have gone through a conversion experience. It is only if you had a conversion experience you could get close to God. Those who have had these experiences speak and talk with God.
Q2:
Dearest Sri Bhagavan, how to establish Oneness Communities? Please
could you kindly give us some advice, Bhagavan.
Bhagavan: First of all those who want to be part of these community must be awakened. You must then create a virtual community. You must know every other member of this community and be friends with them. And then you must take the intent to make it into a physical community. Very soon miracles will start and you would actually see a physical community emerging, which means land will come, money will come and everything will start happening. All these things will fall into place. The difficult part is to get awakened and you get to know other awakened people very closely and establishing friendship with them. Out of this friendship great things will emerge. I will bless that Germany soon will have a Oneness Community.
Q3:
One daily message is: "God is unknowable; like the cell can never know the body". Dear Bhagavan, could you explain this please?
Bhagavan: You could walk and talk with God, but you cannot know or understand God. This applies to everything. Nothing can be truly understood. Nothing in this universe can really be understood. Nothing in this universe can really be known. It will not remain the unknown, but it would remain the unknowable. That is what it means.
F4:
One of the main signs for being awakened is that there is no suffering. What is the main sign for God-Realization, Bhagavan?
Bhagavan: When you are God-realized you actually walk and talk with God. It is not the way of speaking, you could shake hands with God. It is that real. People are doing it now. It will soon happen to all awakened people. God will be your friend, not in some imagined figure.
Q5:
Dear Bhagavan, I am confused about different teachings. On one hand
"I" should go into helplessness and open up for the divine to do it (for me),
another teaching says that I cannot expect the Divine to do everything, so that I still have to do things.
Bhagavan: Intent and effort is yours. Grace is from the Divine. You cannot do anything without intent and effort. For example one gentleman once came to me. He told me: I want a particular piece of land. I told him: Go ahead, I will help you. He said: No, no. He said: I will not move out of my house. Somebody must buy the land, come to me, bring it to my house and bring it to me. I told him: That is not possible. So you have your role to play, the Divine has its role to play. When we say helpless it does not mean doing anything. It only means certain things you cannot do. There the Divine comes in. But some basic things you have got to do. Of course there are some exceptional cases. Like that man should go and see a lot. He should go and raise funds, then the Divine would help him everywhere. There are a few people in India who we know, when they want some money they exactly tell AmmaBhagavan, this is the money we want. And, believe it or not, the cash appears in their hands. Not once in a while, every day. And these have an excellent bond with the Divine, and so this is happening. If one does not have this kind of a bond, one has to put an intent and effort.
Q6:
Sri Bhagavan says: “That awakened person must get transformed”. I humbly ask Sri Bhagavan that when the person is not there, then who is getting transformed?
Bhagavan:The observer is the observed. For the unawakened person there is this division between observer and the observed. When he gets awakened, this division ceases. You realize the observer and the observed are one. So I shall repeat: if you see the observer and the observed as separate, you are unawakened. So when you are awakened beyond the level you see that the observer and the observed are one and the same. That is the change we are talking about.
Q7:
One daily message is: "God is being shaped and reshaped by us". How can I understand this? I always thought that God is leading us?
Bhagavan: God has been there through time, the whole time. But as we change, God changes. As God changes, we too change because we are not separate from God. But always God is leading us because He is the whole and we are the part. In mystical dimensions one can clearly see this.
Q8:
Dear Bhagavan, Love to you!! So much Love to you! My brother has a gambling addiction that he is keeping secret from his family. How can we help with addiction and loaded secrets? Thank you!
Bhagavan: Prayer and Deeksha would help. I’ll also help your brother.
Q9:
Can you explain what the kundalini is and how it works in the Awakening - transformation - God realization process?
Bhagavan:Kundalini is an energy which works on the chakras. The chakras are gateways to the brain. By acting on the chakras the kundalini works on the brain. It activates certain areas of the brain and de-activates certain areas of the brain. Through activation and de-activation, it brings about transformation in you.
Q10:
Who are the light beings we sometimes see? Why are so many close to Oneness University and its campusses?
Bhagavan:These are awakened beings from the past. Some of them are thousands of years old. All of them are involved in this process of awakening humanity. You see them in large numbers at the University because work is going on at the University. If tomorrow you form a community, you’ll find them there.
Q11:
If time and space is an illusion, how does this relate to "past life experiences"? Did past lives really happen in the past?
Bhagavan:In higher mystical states we can clearly see how time and space are a mere illusion. Past lives do not mean they happened in the past. Past lives can be happening right now concurrently. But you have to be a great mystic to see that. It’s really amazing. We could be leading several lifes at the same time. Not only in different realms but also on the same planet. It is not that you are only a single body. You could be in many bodies at the same time. One body of yours would be in Germany, another could be in the US, another could be in Africa, another could be in India. At the same time. It’s very difficult to understand this intellectually. But mystically one can see it clearly. Not only that, it could exist in several realms at the same time. We have about 21 realms. If one is awakened in all the realms, then in India one is called a Paramahamsa. Paramahamsa means awakened in all realms. The actual reality is very different from what we think it is. We are great and vast beings. Not the small being you think you are. But as you go on the path all these things will become very clear to you. With that would come great transformation.
Q12:
Beloved Bhagavan. My deepest thanks for all the glorious gifts we get from You. Since my Awakening all experiences have become much more lively and intensive. It feels as though now I start to really understand what you are saying. I start feeling Your wisdom and see the Divine Presence as the ultimate truth. But I also feel that I experience suffering stronger than before. How can I distinguish between my personal suffering and the suffering of others around me? Thank you, Bhagavan.
Bhagavan: As transformation happens all this will become very clear.
Sri Bhagavan: Love you all.
All: We love You, Bhagavan!
Gratitude and meditation with Sri Bhagavan.
