1. Is accepting the contemporary incarnation of God and surrendering to Him easier for a female devotee than a male devotee?
Swami replied:- You have asked this question from the point of sweet devotion that is possible for a female soul and that is not possible for a male soul. This is completely wrong because after detaching from 99 worldly bonds, then only, the last bond, which is with the spouse is tested in the final female birth. This means unless you detach from almost all worldly bonds, you cannot enter the topic of sweet devotion. This point is missed by everybody and everybody thinks that the soul can take the path of sweet devotion at any time in life whenever the soul likes. Simply, female birth does not open the path to sweet devotion. When the soul is eligible for the test of sweet devotion, the final female birth will automatically embrace the soul. When the final stage came, sages were born as Gopikas. Unfortunately, this is the most misunderstood topic in spiritual knowledge.
2. In office matters if a junior does not report to the superior properly in time what shall we do?
[In office matters if a junior does not report to the superior properly in time what shall we do? Shall we leave to fate thinking that it is our bad karma? Please advise?]
Swami replied:- There are rules setup officially to be done in such situations. The superior is aware of those and will implement accordingly. Such points have no place in the most dignified spiritual knowledge.
3. When I read some of Your replies, I could not control myself and laugh uncontrollably due to the unimaginable joke in it. Is it a sin?
Swami replied:- It is not sin at all since making a soul happy is a meritorious deed. But, a more serious point is to understand and implement it in practice to enjoy the practical fruit.
4. If one uses very very harsh words against somebody, what will be the punishment for that?
[Padanamaskaram Swami, If one used very very harsh words against somebody, what will be the punishment for that? Will the punishment be only in mental tension level or monetary loss level or both? Is there any remedy for that (such sins which are already committed)? At Your Lotus Feet-anil]
Swami replied:- Using harsh words is not a sin. The context is more important. If the context is proper and if such words are useful in the reformation of the soul, there is no sin anywhere.
