Q. When I went to a certain temple, it draws me irresistibly...like a magnet. What does it mean or what does it tell me?
A. The one that stays only for a brief time because of some external object is not Truth. The one that stays permanently is only the Truth.
Q. How to overcome the veil to go into stillness?
A. Just do nothing.
Q. What do you mean, by doing nothing?
A. Just do no-thing. No thoughts, no emotions, no vibrations, just observe. Then automatically you will be in stillness.
Q. Is God satchidananda or stillness?
A. It is both and not also.
Q. How come so?
A. When you say God as stillness, yes He is that. When you say God as satchidaananda, He is that too.
Q. Then why do you say, He is not also?
A. Because the Truth is beyond the stillness and satchidaananda. One of the expressions of God is stillness and one of the expressions is satchidaananda also. Now when you are in satchidaananda or in stillness, how are you able to sense that you are in that state?
Q. I don't know.
A. You will not know when you are in that state. You will be able to know only when you come out of that state. In reality the Truth is that awareness that by which you are able to undergo through the experience of stillness or satchidaananda. And, that awareness is telling you that you are undergoing such and such experience. Hence, it is only the awareness that exists, nothing else. There is no experience, experiencer and the object that is being experienced.

Q. In the Vinaayakotpatti - Birth of Vinaayaka: I feel that there is completely an esoteric meaning and it goes like this. If we consider Parvati as Prakruti and Shiva as Purusha, then Vinayaka who is made by Parvati/Prakruti will not recognize Shiva/Purusha which could be the ego and Shiva removes that head - ego of Vinayaka and gives him the head of Elephant. What do you say?
