1 You advice to be always happy. But, Radha suffered a lot in the separation of Krishna. Does this also come under Your advice?
[A question by Ms. Thrylokya]
Swami replied:- Radha suffering in the separation from Krishna comes under the category of divine devotion (Bhakti Yoga, the second step). My advice to everyone to always be happy is related to worldly life, which is possible if you detach internally from all the incidents of worldly life. Both these points are totally different.
2. Some devotees feel that You talk more with some selected devotees only. Other devotees may feel strained about it. What is Your advice in this?
Swami replied:- This is the most cruelest comment on Me! For Me, all the devotees are one and the same. If anybody comes to Me or talks on phone, I reply in detail regarding the point raised by the devotee. Do you mean that I shall go to devotees or I shall phone to the devotees and ask them daily about their doubts in spiritual knowledge? They should recognize that necessity is on their side and not on My side. The ego-based jealousy that is present among the devotees is reflecting on Me in this wrong way. Some good devotees think that Swami is closest to them and they are closest to Swami. Some bad ego-based jealous devotees think that Swami is not close to them and that they are not close to Swami. All this is only based on the psychological trend of souls. The first category of devotees is always happy and the second category of devotees is always unhappy with anger on Me and other good devotees.
