  •  You are always talking about serving God in others. How can I develop more of the feeling of being with God when I am with people?
  • What is the significance of the enormous amount of talent someone might have in sports, music or art? Is it necessarily a gift of Grace  from the Supreme?
  • Why are people afraid of spirituality?
  • What is the spiritual purpose of Yoga?
  • When I pray and meditate, I feel a flood of love and joy. But then I find that all the suffering of the world seems to well up inside me and I feel guilty for feeling joyful when so many other people are so unhappy.
  • Can we give it to others by writing about it , and does it help them?
  • When we receive joy from the soul how can we keep it in the fore?
  • How can we acquire practicality in a divine sense?
  • Can I reach the Truth with my intellect?
  • What IS most important In keeping the inner cry?
  • How can I have more will power and clarity?
  • How can I get satisfaction right this moment?
  • How do I go deep within?
