Replies of Swami--Human Incarnation(180-185).pdf
If pure awareness is God, then isn’t every human being God? What is the real nature of Datta? Since Jesus suffered for our sins, is He not our only Savior? Why is there a very strong resistance to the spreading of the true knowledge in the world? Don’t we have to progress from the concept of form to that of formless God? Do Hinduism and Christianity agree on the human incarnation and getting direction from God?

Replies of Swami--Philosophy(154-161).pdf
Should we watch how the Sadguru spends the donated money? Should we not ask the Lord for help? If there is no proof for the existence of hell, heaven and the world of God, why should we waste our lifetime in these things? Are formal scriptural study, ritual worship and meditation essential for discovering the Self? What should be the motivation for a spiritual aspirant to excel in his career and worldly interactions? Shouldn’t Divine Knowledge give bliss to me?

What do you mean by Vairaagyam, Sayujyam and Kaivalyam? What is the use of Advaita in the practical spiritual effort? Is this world real or unreal?

How can every religion say that if you do not worship their God, you will go to hell? Is there rebirth for a soul? Can You please explain the rebirth of a soul as animals and birds?
