Searching Questions Fulfilling Answers
Each person struggles through

life. For some the trials are

overpowering, for others a bored

status quo prevails,and

for a minority mountains are

pounded to dust in

the search for meaning and joy.

Within the invisible depths of

each soul there is a yearning.

A need to know ‘Why?’.

‘Why do we live?’,

‘Why do we experience problems?’,

‘Why are we travellers on the

journey of life?’.

In the search for answers to

their uncertainties many turn to

the God-realised Sadhu.

    Love
Question

Rishikesh Bandopadhyay: Where I come from, we are taught that there are two types of love. One for the body, which is called kam, and one for Krishna, called prem. However, I have failed to understand the difference between the two.
Answer

Swamishri: Love for the body induces one to seek pleasures in worldly objects; that is kam. Today, you will notice that the entire world strives to attain such pleasures. Whereas the scriptures say, that if one can love God as much as one loves his body, in effect, diverting love from the body towards God, then kam becomes prem.
