1. Does helping any soul represent our attachment with that soul?
[Smt. Lakshmi Lavanya K asked: If any soul asked us any help which is not at all related to God and does not help in learning knowledge, then doing that work represents our attachment with that soul? I am feeling it is a waste of time and energy doing a work which is not at all related to You. Am I correct? Thank You swami.]
Swami replied:- The above question is repeated. The stage of attachment depends on the step in which the soul exists in its spiritual journey towards the ultimate goal.
2. Is it wrong to feel happy for Your unconditional grace on me?
[Regarding Sabari: Namaste Swami. You said we shouldn't expect anything in return from God, but after attaining You, I am experiencing Your care and protection in my daily life although I didn't pray You for that. Is it wrong to feel happy for Your unconditional grace on me?]
Swami replied:- It is not at all wrong. Moreover, it increases your devotion to God.
3. Why didn't anyone attain God like Godaa although they read Thiruppavai every year?
[Godaa Devi worshipped and attained Lord Ranganadha 5000 years ago. Why didn't anyone attain God like her although they are reading Thiruppavai every year?]
Swami replied:- Others are reading Thiruppavai, whereas Godaa is the author of Thiruppavai. The feelings mentioned in Thiruppavai originated from the mind of Godaa.
4. I heard we can't even remember You without Your grace. Is it true? Thank You Swami.
Swami replied:- Without the grace of God nothing ever happened nor is nothing happening and nothing will happen. The grace of God is always supported by justified logic. Are you not criticizing logic and justice indirectly?
