What is your plan for future? What will you be doing?

I do not have any plans, goals or agendas to live life now. Whichever way Divine wishes "this" to live, it will live that way only. For now I have this website for people to reach out to me, and I have some serious people going through their spiritual journey, whom I keep an eye on and try to help them from time to time. For living, earning I am still working as a Software Professional. How it will be tomorrow, I do not know that. Once the "Will" is surrendered through Self Realization, then there is no one within to even try to know what will tomorrow bring. I am either blissful, or peaceful and life just keep going around me, it's fun. I am totally in love with everything and nothing. (Laughs)

Did your Spiritual Journey cost you some relationships in life?

If you are asking did I divorce because of my Spiritual Pursuits, then no, it wasn't because of my longing for Divine. (Laughs) It was a decision based upon some facts and it was a mutual, peaceful closure after being married for 14 years. We all are humans and at times have to respect and value our own boundaries and limits. My Ex-Husband is a good father, nice person and I still stay in touch with him on human and friendly grounds. Other than that, yes, I had some close friends and circle of friends, who couldn't understand my need for "isolation" and the way my life went on a different tangent and I have to part ways with many of them. I stopped going to many gatherings and have to decline almost all the invitations, as I couldn't justify living that way. Nowadays, I do prefer one on one long discussions, talks, and I still avoid social gatherings where people put up a fake face and fake smile.

There are so many Spiritual Guru's and Masters, and everyone has their own way of teaching, their own path. I feel confused about which path is wrong or right, which one should I follow?

Don't you feel confused when you go to buy a Mobile Phone or Car? There are so many make & models and features. What do you do then? How do you arrive at a conclusion to buy one or the other? You take a deeper look at your "NEED". Not your "want". Though in the era of consumerism, people do buy out of "want" too. But for discussion and understanding sake, let's stick to the "need". So you take a deeper look at your needs, you see what you can and cannot do, given your life situations. You see how far you can stretch yourself? And based on YOUR OWN ANALYSIS DEEP WITHIN you decide which Cell Phone or Car to buy.

 Exactly, in the same way, you should be doing the analysis within you, and then should walk the path that works best for you. And like how you feel happy about so many makes, models, choices available, so you should be happy that there are many ways to walk the path of Liberation. The population of the earth is 7.3 Billion people and there are less than 50 Self Realized Masters whom public/people can reach out to. It doesn't give you very many choices frankly, but you feel deluded as you do not know what is it that you need? What is it that you are trying to do with your life? Are you seeking "Well-being" or are you actively seeking "Liberation", both of these two are very different journeys. Analyze your need within and go that way. I cannot forcefully create the desire for Liberation in you, or for Renunciation in your mind. I do not have a magic wand to Mass Enlighten people. (Laughs)

You do not hug, touch anyone, and you do not want people to touch your body, feet why?

At random, sometimes I may hug a child or someone in pain, or may hold someone's hand. Divine Mother within may function that way. I do not deny the human need for unconditional love, a hug, and holding hands. But an important point to understand here is that I am not my body. There is nothing that one can get extra, by touching this body, or touching my feet. Whatever can be achieved, can be just by thinking about me. No need to see this body even, I am not my body. No need to get attached to this physical body.

Do you still get angry?

All emotions are nothing but tools, to live life, to get things done, and they can be used when necessary. So yes, when Anger is needed to bring the change in someone or to change something, or to get something done, I do display anger. I do not hold it, though. I cannot hold any emotion longer than it is necessary. Don't forget some of the Zen Masters used to Spank their Disciples. No wonder, if someday you see me walking with a stick in my hand too. (Laughs)

Why do you wear Rudraksh Beads bracelets on your wrists? What is the use of it?

Rudraksh is a seed from a tree, and it creates the cocoon around you of your energy, it is helpful while walking the Spiritual Path, as every ounce of energy matters. Everything is energy and one is bound to lose a lot of their good energy when one has to stay all day long in offices, in between people, crowded places. So better wear something that can help you. I am still working as a Software Professional and I am in between people from morning till evening. I did not have the luxury to pursue my Spiritual Life in a secluded environment. As Adyashanti mentioned in one of his book that these days, someone may be Enlightened over the weekend, and they may be in an office by Monday. This is exactly how it happened with me. While and After Enlightenment, Self Realization my life, my routine, my work everything stayed the same for me. I have a family, my son to take care of. I am a Divorced, Single mom and I cannot afford to not work as of now. So when life is functional all around, then better wear something, or do something that saves your energy, and keeps you going on your spiritual path. I did not want to wait until I am 60 years old, and retired, to fulfill my longing for Liberation. (Laughs)

You eat Non-Veg. Why?

You have a preset notion how the Self-Realized ones should be. How they should talk, dress, behave, teach and all nonsense. You have seen many Religious Masters, Gurus who do not eat many things or maintain a different public personality. Not all Self Realized ones really revealed their life behind the walls of their house, ashram, a spiritual organization, so based on their public appearances and personality you created a notion about them, thinking all should be like that. Now let's see what you are asking? I did eat non-veg all through my life until Enlightenment, and then due to energy changes, physical body changes it went down and finally there came a time when I stopped all-together. Nowadays, I eat what I get, what is being cooked for the family. I do not command my will, there is no personal will left in me, that's what Self-realization is. I have a family and they all eat non-veg occasionally, and I can't change them overnight like I cannot change your mind/all beliefs/notions overnight. Not only animals have Prana, all plants have Prana too. Though I would say that human's digestive system is not made for eating non-veg and works best with vegetarian food, I am saying this from my own experience. If someone asks me before cooking, or if I am myself cooking I prefer vegetarian. I am a good cook and love cooking different cuisines. And I love Indian food, curries. Give up all your preset notions about Self Realized ones, you can only experience the TRUTH when you are ready to Accept the Human-ness in Humans! Brahm/THAT is in everyone and everything!

Many people had mystical experiences around you, through you. How did you do that? What mystical powers you have?

Whatever Divine wishes for anyone around me, it goes that way. I do not will, wish, intend or control such things around me. There is no performer within who can perform such things. Mystical powers are better put to good use for humanity at large. What powers I have may be known to those who experienced it through me, or to the world tomorrow if it has to be that way, if that is Divine's wish. Other than that there is no point in really talking about it. You call them Mystical because Universal Truth, Unified Whole is beyond your understanding as of now, but so is "WI-FI" for some of the Tribal people in today's world. Receiving email from one corner to the other, across the world in less than a minute is highly mystical too. Yes, I am a Software Professional. (Laughs)

I go to many Spiritual Groups, Religious activities, and I enjoy them, and I know in someway I am running from myself. But when I leave all groups and such activities, I feel lost, I feel something is missing, and that just puts me back into those groups and then I again start going on Hamster wheel, as you call it. Why do I feel lost? What is it that is missing from me?

There is nothing wrong attending Spiritual or Religious Group Activities. You are trying to justify your reasoning for them, which is not bad. Now if you are doing all that so you do not have to face yourself, and you are doing it to avoid yourself, then that's not helpful to you in any way. That longing, that missing something feeling inside is a really good feeling to have, it's the start, door of your Spiritual Postmortem. Next time when you feel that way, don't run, don't keep yourself busy, talk to yourself, ask yourself what is it? I can answer it for you, but then that answer will be for your mind only, I want you to have "Direct Experience" of it. You can start asking what is one thing that those Spiritual, Religious groups are giving you? The Sense of Belongingness. Right? You feel you belong to something larger than yourself. When you sit alone, that's what is missing from within you. Now that you know, pay attention to WHY you are ATTACHING your Sense of belongingness to something "External" to you? Keep going within, keep questioning yourself, until you get your answers!

I am going through really painful and challenging time in my life, and I have to make some big decisions, whom should I have faith in? In God? Where should I put my faith?

There are two types of people in this world. 

1. Outer Scorers - These are the people who have an Outer Score Card all their life. Means whenever they did something or did not do something, they always looked at OTHERS to provide feedback, approval, appreciation or something. And based on what they RECEIVED from others they GRADED themselves on their Score Card. If someone said, oh you are pathetic, you messed it up, you are bad, instantly they graded themselves Zero or even Negative. If someone said Wow you are awesome, you did a good job, you are good, they graded themselves very high on their Score Card. So such people are ALWAYS on the MERCY of others around them, to make them feel good or bad. Such people blame OTHERS for their Unhappiness most of the time. After spending a LONG time with Outer Score Card, they lack TRUE SELF CONFIDENCE. If they find NO ONE around them providing feedback, approvals, appreciation or anything, they feel ANXIOUS about themselves and about their own decisions in life. Truly they NEVER developed FAITH in themselves. If one has no faith in oneself then life becomes a misery, tension, worries, anxiety, depression, grumpy, loneliness, dissatisfaction story.

2. Inner Scorers - These people have their philosophy of life very straight, they know the Universal or Cosmic Laws, like laws of Karma. These people DO NOT care what others may think about them. They DO NOT look for any approvals, permissions, appreciations or ANY feedback from others. They are HIGHLY WATCHFUL about their own INTENTIONS. And if they know their Intention is right, action in life may appear to be bad, horrible, painful to others, still, they will grade themselves really HIGH. And if they know that even though their Action may look good on the surface but their INTENTION, VOLITION isn't right, then they will grade themselves poorly. Such people are HIGHLY Confident in life, they place 100% of their FAITH in THEMSELVES. They do not need others to shove in or inject Faith, Self Confidence in them. They at times face tons of adversities in life because of their Inner Scoring System, but because they have Faith within themselves, they easily face and across all challenges. Their Self Esteem is HIGH, they NEVER need others to fulfill their own need for Self Esteem. They are HAPPY with themselves, they do not need others, to make them happy, neither do they blame others for making them unhappy. They are in control of themselves all the time. Because of Faith in themselves, they have the courage to FIGHT with Life if needed. They have Fighter Spirit.

No matter how much Stormy the weather may be, you will not find Dead Birds around. Why? A bird NEVER places her Faith, Trust on the branch, on the Tree, she is sitting. She places her faith in herself, and flies off, at the slightest shaking of branches, and that's what keeps her safe. So one should place their Faith in Oneself only. Hope this helps you understand what kind of score card you have and hope you are able to place your faith in yourself.
