sairam,
En un satsang que tuvo lugar en la presencia divina en el Reino Unido en abril de 2016, un devoto preguntó cómo hacer frente a la actual estilo de vida y todavía se centran en Dios.
Y esto es lo que dijo Swami:
Pregunta: Swami, estilos de vida en la actualidad puede ser muy estresante y me parece que me distrae de Dios y me hace sentir muy distante y desconectada. ¿Cómo puedo resisto mi estilo de vida actual y aún así ser capaz de concentrarse en Dios?
Swami: Lo que viene en su camino? Estilo de vida está llegando en su camino? ¿Es eso lo que estás diciendo? Entonces renunciar a ese estilo de vida que viene en su camino! Por el bien de Dios, nada se puede hacer - que es el propósito de la vida. Si ese estilo de vida está llegando a su manera, usted tiene que cambiar su estilo de vida. No se puede tener el aire y el agua en una olla al mismo tiempo. Si está llena de aire, no puede haber agua; igualmente, si está lleno de agua, no hay espacio para el aire.
Hace mucho tiempo, hubo un devoto de Adi Shankara, que dijo a su gurú, "Swami, muchos de mis gustos y preferencias, necesidades y deseos, se están convirtiendo en obstáculos en el camino de la espiritualidad. Ellos no van a desaparecer. ¿Que debería hacer?"
Adi Shankara señaló hacia un hombre que tiraba de su búfalo por una cuerda. Luego le pidió al discípulo: "¿Quién se une a quién? Se adjunta el búfalo al hombre o el hombre unido a los búfalos?"
El discípulo dijo, "El búfalo está unido al hombre. Es por eso que el hombre está delante y el búfalo está detrás."¿Qué hizo Adi Shankara hacer? Tomó un cuchillo y cortó la cuerda! El búfalo se escapó y el hombre estaba corriendo detrás de él. (Risa)
Usted apegarse a las cosas y por eso se convierte en un obstáculo en su camino. Lo que se convierte en un obstáculo que debería suprimirse. Si usted tiene la capacidad de rey Janaka, que vivió como el rey de la totalidad de Mithila, sin embargo, fue totalmente separado, entonces está bien.
Si no es así, entonces puede optar por vivir como Adi Shankara, con el fin de mantener a los lugares de interés y archivos adjuntos de distancia. ¿Lo que sucederá? Algunos le llamará loco o un tonto o loco - dejarlos; usted sabe la verdad. No se conviertan en algo sólo porque eso es lo que te llaman; es una cuestión de su comprensión. Ellos no comen para usted; no respiran por usted; no duermen para usted. Tienes que hacerlo por sí mismo. De la misma manera, si se quiere Dios, que tendrá que hacer modificaciones a su estilo de vida. No hay otra manera. No se puede tener tierra y el cielo, también. Si quieres estar en el cielo, que tendrá que dejar el mundo atrás.

Sairam,
In a satsang held in the divine presence in UK on April, 2016, a devotee asked how to cope with the current lifestyle and still focus on God.
And here is what Swami said:
Question: Swami, lifestyles at the moment can be quite stressful and I find that it distracts me from God and makes me feel quite distant and disconnected. How can I withstand my current lifestyle and still be able to focus on God?
Swami: What is coming in your way? Lifestyle is coming in your way? Is that what you are saying? Then give up that lifestyle which comes in your way! For the sake of God, anything can be done – that is the purpose of life. If that lifestyle is coming in your way, you have to change your lifestyle. You cannot have both air and water in a pot at the same time. If it is full of air, there can be no water; equally, if it is full of water, there is no room for air.
Long ago, there was a devotee of Adi Shankara, who said to his guru, "Swami, many of my likes and dislikes, wants and desires, are becoming obstacles in the path of spirituality. They will not go away. What should I do?"
Adi Shankara pointed towards a man who was pulling his buffalo by a rope. He then asked the disciple, "Who is attached to whom? Is the buffalo attached to the man or the man attached to the buffalo?"
The disciple said, "The buffalo is attached to the man. That is why the man is in front and the buffalo is behind." Then what did Adi Shankara do? He took a knife and cut the rope! The buffalo ran away and the man was running behind it. (Laughter)
You become attached to things and that is why it becomes an obstacle in your path. Whatever becomes an obstacle should be dispensed with. If you have the ability of King Janaka, who lived as the king of the whole of Mithila, yet was totally detached, then it is ok.
If you are not, then you may choose to live like Adi Shankara, in order to keep the attractions and attachments away. What will happen? A few will call you insane or a fool or mad – let them; you know the truth. You don't become something just because that is what they call you; it is a matter of your understanding. They don't eat for you; they don't breathe for you; they don't sleep for you. You have to do it for yourself. In the same way, if you want God, you will have to make amendments to your lifestyle. There is no other way. You cannot have earth and heaven, too. If you want to be in heaven, you will have to leave the world behind.
With Swami's blessings and guidance, there will be two 2017 Public Events in California USA: Northern California, Bay Area in Santa Clara, June 18, Sunday
and Southern California, Costa Mesa, June 24, Saturday
