in exile?

It
seems Swami said another prayer: “Annam Brahmaa, Raso Vishnu,
Bhoktho Devo Maheswara.” The question is this: Shall I say
“Brahmaarpanam Brahmahavihi” before eating food, or shall I say,
“Annam Brahmaa, Raso Vishnu, Bhoktho
Devo Maheswara” -- this prayer or that prayer?

Why does God come so infrequently? Why
only every 500 years or 1000 years? Why not regularly, like a
train? Why not? (Laughter) Had He been here throughout, arriving
year-after-year, then all our weaknesses could have been prevented
and we would never run away from the path of righteousness -- we’d
never run astray. God could control us if He appeared frequently
and regularly. It would make His job lighter and easier.

difference?

why do we have to do it over and over again?
(15.12.2002)

I am a teacher of yoga. I know God is
One. But do you think all the people I see are false? Do you think
it’s all maya, illusion? Do you think they don’t exist? Do
you say it is all a dream?
(08.12.2002)

get divorced from his
wife? Number two -- should he continue along the spiritual path?
Number three -- should he give up the spiritual path?

multiple-choice question. (Laughter) (08.12.2002)
