Sri Bhagavan Speaks
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I PRACTICE INNER INTEGRITY?
You’ll be as free as the bird that is flying in the skies, so totally free you’ll become. But you have to practice inner integrity. The only tool is inner integrity.
-Sri Bhagavan
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I LIE TO MYSELF?
Speaking lies to somebody is ok, but speaking lies to yourself destroys you.
-Sri Bhagavan
WHY CAN’T I SEE MYSELF?
You don’t like the feeling of feeling guilty, feeling bad. So everything is nicely decorated. All that rubbish in you is nicely decorated.
It’s all hiding inside. That is your problem. You’ve never seen yourself.
-Sri Bhagavan
AM I GOOD PERSON?
You know very little about yourself, but you seem to know so much about others and the fact is if you look into yourself you know what you’ll find there? Everybody wants to think nicely about themselves, to think good about themselves.
-Sri Bhagavan
What should I do if mind has to stay put at one point?
CONCENTRATION
Padapranams Sri Bhagavan, What should I do if mind has to stay put at one point?
Sri Bhagavan: See, the mind,
breath and kundalini form a triangle. If you tamper with one you’ll be tampering the other two. Suppose the breath is not constant or steady, the mind also will not be constant and steady. Similarly if the kundalini is vibrating too much, then also the mind will be unstable. Kundalini will start vibrating depending on the temperature, air pressure, depending on the kind of people around, depending on the food you’ve eaten, the clothes you are wearing - so many factors.
So as the kundalini is vibrating, the mind also becomes unsteady and becomes unfocused. So also is breath. In fact breath is a crucial element and most people do not even know how to breathe. That’s why I often say that, children must be taught in school as to how to really breathe.
When this is done, you’ll actually find that the mind becomes steadied. Without setting right these two things the mind will be very shaky. And of course if you are not able to do these things, you can very well ask me inside and I will steady it. And you’ll have a very focused mind. It’s not very difficult to achieve.

HOW TO STOP LYING?
If you want to stop speaking lies you have to practice inner integrity. And as lies reduce there is no need for thoughts to go on working like this.
-Sri Bhagavan
CAN I SPEAK ONLY TRUTH?
Unresolved hurt would only further problems in your relationship.
Sri Paramjyothi
——
LIBERATION FROM THE SELF
Self is the sense of separate existence. Whenever there is the ‘me’ and the ‘other’ the result is fear fear of what the other would do to me. Out of fear, struggle for survival, comparison, jealousy, hatred, all the rest are born. Sri Bhagavan says, “Self is only a concept”. A concept by definition is something that does not exist in reality. It is an illusion.
——
CAN I SPEAK ONLY TRUTH?
All the time you are speaking lies and if you speak the truth, you would destroy society.
But if you don’t speak the truth you will lead a life of lies which has its own harmful effects.
-Sri Bhagavan
WHY AM I ALWAYS TIRED?
Very often you feel tired, you can’t enjoy life because of non-stop thinking. So what’s the point of that thinking? So if all this must stop, you have to go back to inner integrity.
-Sri Bhagavan
IS THERE THOUGHTS IN PRESENT?
In the present, you cannot think. Conversely, you can think of the past or the future. The present is a living experience. There is no thought at all.
-Sri Bhagavan
HOW TO RECEIVE DEEKSHA?
The Oneness Blessing (Deeksha) is given by laying hands on your head after praying or sometimes through intent. This allows the Oneness Blessing to flow.
-Sri Bhagavan
HOW TO GET ONENESS BLESSING?
The Oneness Blessing neither requires practicing a particular way of living nor is an initiation into following a new path. It does not bind one to any philosophy or ideology.
-Sri Bhagavan
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SELF IS GONE?
When the fixed self disappears, you experience yourself as simply a dance of personalities continually arising and passing away.

HOW DOES LEVELS OF CONCIOUSNESS AFFECT US?
The one’s experience of the ongoing recession, the ability to handle misunderstanding in relationship or a daughter’s rebellious nature, what emotions surge through when diagnosed with a health problem, the level of connection with people around and the joy experienced, the intensity of passion at work etc., depend on one’s level of consciousness
-Sri Bhagavan
HOW PEOPLE BECOME AWAKENED?
The inner transformation and awakening into higher states of consciousness is not an outcome of a mere intellectual understanding but through a shift in consciousness whereby one’s experience of life is redefined at its core

We have divided ourselves on the basis of race, on the basis of nations, what not, on the basis of wealth. All kinds of division and we keep fighting.
-Sri Bhagavan
