Ask the TV

So now comes the question: What is it that you want to know? What is it that you should keep remembering, or knowing?...

Ask the TV Posted on May 1, 2026 / Questions and Answers Date of Satsang: October 2, 2008Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India Dikpal: I heard you say that as long as imagination is there, a human being cannot know the Knower. Is this correct? Swami ji: Well, you are not dead. We see that a dead....

In the Field

Many times, words may be spoken which go against your own meanings, in your own language. But I have come to realize that all of you want to get rid of death—yet you do not want to leave birth. So now, in this space, I will be quiet. This has been realization....

In the Field Posted on March 17, 2026 / Satsang Date of Satsang: April 12, 2014Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India When you sneeze, then before the sneeze comes, you can always put your hand over your mouth. I learned this when I was learning yogic science, that whenever a sneeze comes we can b...

You–Unborn, Unchanging, Undying

That is what a human being should know: that he has never committed any mistake and he has never come down. So all these pairs of sukh and dukh, happiness and unhappiness, raag and dwaysh, they are fictitious. The moment that this ghost enters, it is very hard for any mantra to do the work. It is not your fault....

You–Unborn, Unchanging, Undying Posted on February 9, 2026 / Satsang Date of Satsang: February 12, 2016Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India At the time when you die, there is no human condition. But we do not want to wait until death!  People like you have to understand, when you talk about c...

Pure Being Is Not Affected by Birth, Living, or Death; Pure Being Is Ever Present

Water, when it rains, becomes a drop. But however many drops are there, the water remains water. The many drops do not affect the water. When it becomes a cloud hanging in the sky, the water is not affected. When it goes up the mountain and then falls from it, the water becomes a jharna (waterfall), but it is not affected. Water is water....

Pure Being Is Not Affected by Birth, Living, or Death; Pure Being Is Ever Present Posted on December 29, 2025 / Satsang Date of Satsang: November 30, 2014Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India Swami ji: Every day, the sun rises, and you seem to have changed.

We Need Such a Guru—Free Then There Is No Such Thing as Guru and Disciple—Only Free

Swami ji: Yes. If you are not claiming the mind, not claiming the illusion, not claiming the intellect, not claiming the life, then automatically you are free....

We Need Such a Guru—Free Then There Is No Such Thing as Guru and Disciple—Only Free Posted on November 26, 2025 / Questions and Answers Date of Satsang: June 3, 2015Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India Jayanti: Thank you, Swami ji.

Today nobody is coming and nobody is going. Therefore, you have enough time to begin with the practice of meditation—which you wait for, after somebody's welcome is over or after somebody's departure is over. Wherever there is no coming and no going, that is also some space....

This Space Is Nameless. It Is Only Is, or Isness Posted on October 7, 2025 / Satsang Date of Satsang: April 4, 2005Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India Today nobody is coming and nobody is going. Therefore, you have enough time to begin with the practice of meditation—which you wait for, after...

So what is useful? The Source. Why? The Source is that which does not have to prove to you that you need a candle to see your undying nature. Everybody knows that “I will not die.” You do not need the sun for that, you do not need the stars for that, you do not need the body, skin and blood and eyes, for that, you do not need a person for that. You just need the one who is undying. And undying means unborn. So that which is the Source is free from taking birth. Why, then, will there be any fear of death, when the Source has not even taken birth?...

You Have to Become Guru. You Were Never Born—That Is Guru Posted on September 4, 2025 / Satsang Date of Satsang: January 27, 2016Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India There is one Source, and that Source is you. So it is clear that everybody who is from the Source must be the Source. Suppose th...

Swami ji: You are right when you ask a question. A child does not have the chance to ask a question, but when he becomes big, he wants to know. So the knowing sense arises. In a child, at first the knowing sense is not found. It is hidden. But because it must be hidden in him, it arises, just like a sprout that is hidden in a seed. When you hear such examples, then you come to know what is hidden and what is obvious....

We know ourselves daily as relative persons, relative to each other. So Alka was the one who was giving a departure for Keerti Narayan, and when she said antavahak, then I came to know that you do not know antavahak. We have never studied it. We have studied the external; or you have closed the eyes and you imagined the internal. But antavahak, you do not know. Though you know “innermost,” for you, “innermost” is your mind or intellect. So the words are there; but the innermost is that by which you came into form as a human being. A process must be there, there must be some source. It starts somewhere. The moment it started, that is antavahak....

The Moment “I Am” Started, That Is Antavahak Posted on June 30, 2025 / Questions and Answers Date of Satsang: August 1, 2014Location: Kullu, Himachal Pradesh, India We know ourselves daily as relative persons, relative to each other.

All human beings who have become big have been seeking that. Why? They know they must have lost it somewhere. Otherwise, how is it possible that they can become unhappy, worried, agitated, and tense, with the fear of sickness, disease, and the constant, lingering fear of death?...
