1. Swami in Your knowledge, why ‘energy’ is called ‘inert energy’?
Swami replied:- Energy is inert. Awareness is also a specific work form of inert energy only. Hence, to avoid the confusion, I like to call the energy as inert energy to mean that the energy referred by Me is not awareness.
2. If sin is stopped in one angle, fruit of sin in that particular angle is cancelled. How to experience it?
[Swami, You told that if one stops sin in one angle practically, then all the fruits of that sin in that particular angle will be cancelled. But sometime it is not observed even if the sin in that angle is stopped? What is the reason for that?]
Swami replied:- If the basic angle, which is like the foundation is destroyed, no form of sin in that angle can stand like any form of building without the foundation. If all angles of sin (bad faces of six vices) are destroyed, pending fruits of all sins are destroyed.
3. Is getting deep sleep a blessing?
[Is obtaining deep sleep a blessing? After deep sleep a person experiences increased energy and freshness. On this basis can we say that the demon Kumbhakarna is a blessed soul?]
Swami replied:- Deep sleep in regular intervals is good. Anything in extreme quantity is not good and the exception of this is devotion to God.
4. How to know what Krishna is trying to say when He is in idol form?
[Padanamaskaram Swami, some questions raised in internet discussion forum is presented below. Please grace Your response to the same. At Your Lotus Divine Feet-anil. 7. Krishna says to surrender and obey the order what Krishna says. But as an idol or a picture He is mute. How to know what He is trying to say what His order is?]
Swami replied:- Without identifying the contemporary human incarnation, this question is not valid because Krishna was the contemporary human incarnation when He told something and He was not a statue then.
5. Are the following verses of the Gita contradict each other?
[The Bhagavad Gita says, fool cannot understand Me and at the same time Lord says, in Gita that anyone who surrenders Me, I give Him full protection. How to understand? Please explain.]
Swami replied:- A fool can’t understand Krishna because he does not surrender to God Krishna. Both these statements are not contradicting each other.
6. How will I know whether I have attained Moksha (Salvation) or not?
Swami replied:- Your attachment to your worldly bonds can be easily known to yourself better than anybody. But, such detachment from worldly bonds (Salvation) must be natural and spontaneous happening due to your attachment to God and not by force of any effort.
