Is individuality illusion? Does it disappear in the oneness of Brahman? Does spiritual realization exclude individual existence? A well-read and amused (and amusing) Gurumaharaj wielding the sword of divya-jnana – divine knowledge – in the jungle of philosophical speculation.

(From the Berlin temple, 9th April 2011)
"Spiritual life is a question of realization."
"You can not love anybody if you don't
have distinct individuality. The very word 'love' would have no meaning
if there is no eternal individual existence; it would be a fantasy word.
You could say, if there is no eternal individuality, then the biggest
illusion, the biggest
word of the material existence, is called love. And it's the
opposite. It's the solution to our material existence and
ignorance. Love is the solution. And love is the message of the Vedas,
in all its profoundity. Love. Unlimited love. Love, which is
available to all."
"We need vedic knowledge. We need the
truth. We need the understanding of what the law means, and what's the
benefit of following the law. And we need love, which helps to realize
all these things."
