A
counsellor - “How can I
convince my child to...”
A visionary - “Who was I in my
past life...”
A psychologist - “How can I cope
with the guilt...”
A friend in need - “Why did God
take my son and not me...”
A guru - “How can I progress
on the spiritual path...”
The many roles of Swamishri.
Sometimes we can catch a glimpse
of all these within the space of
just a few hours. He opens his
doors to the world, and for those
who walk in, he opens the doors of
their hearts, letting in light where
there was once darkness.

Raghunandan Modi (Industrialist) : If God wanted to punish me, why
didn’t He take me instead of my son? [upon the recent death
of his only son in an accident]
|
 |
Swamishri : It’s not like that. Everyone comes with their own
destiny. His destiny was probably fulfilled. His relationship with
you was fulfilled and so he returned to God.

How can I make the pain go away?
|
|
Swamishri : Do bhakti. We should forget the past. This is called
‘sankhya vichar’. It teaches us, ‘Janamya tya thi
jarur jano, marvanu chhe mathe ji...’ (Know that from birth,
death is hovering above our heads). It’s a fact that we will
all die some day, so we shouldn’t be grief filled about it.
Even when God incarnated on this earth, when His time was up He
returned to His abode.
