Searching Question Fulfilling Answer
Each person struggles through

live. 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 Saint.

Question

Sadhu: There are many talks pertaining to God. Please explain a little about Him to us in brief.
Answer

Swamishri : Gunatitanand Swami has said, ‘We are born for two reasons - to become atmarup and attach ourselves toPurushottam.’ Secondly the Kathi devotees used to tell Shriji Maharaj, ‘You are ours and we are yours.’ Maharaj would reply, ‘At the end of the day this is the one understanding we need.’
Once at night, Bhavan Thakkar told Gunatitanand Swami, ‘Swami, I’m yours.’ After all our studying, contemplating and reading, this is what we have to understand - God is ours and we are God’s.
