Mahatmas are scientists and God/Supreme is the best Doctor. But I think unlike mahatmas and Supreme, Scientists and Doctors have some limitations. Right Uncle ??

Jai Sai Master!
That's the Truth. Scientists depend on experiments to get some "knowledge" which is of limited use. No where close to the knowledge imparted by Mahatma. Mahatma's teachings have eternal value. They are Sastras or Scriptures.

When the Earth rotates with certain speed why can't we feel it ?? Even thought we are still we are still moving ?? Right ?? That to we don't get motion sickness. And while we are traveling in a flight or car, we get tired and sometimes get motion sickness. Does gravity also playing a role here ??

Dear Srusti, for motion sickness part,  think about what is movement? and what is moving to get motion sickness?

Om sai ram

mmm... For a while let us leave motion sickness, its a bit of too medical to know.

But lets think, about movement. Not just animals, You said earth is moving.. rite?! Why do you say its moving?? If so are you comparing with something?

Om sai ram

Very good!! I didnot know a 9 yr old would know so much about motion sickness. Good job.

Regarding movement srusti, you are getting there. Now try a different question. Say you are traveling in a car with ur dad. Compare yourself with your dad... so are you moving compared with your dad?

Om sai ram

Dear Srusti,

When we went to Silver Dollar City we rode a gigantic swing.When we went extremely high up in the air we didn't feel anything, but when we were dropping, we felt like our stomachs dropped into our legs, what's the reason ??

mmm... you gave the answer rite?! same inner ear thing. more than glass of water assume inner ear is a cylinder (closed on all sides) with water  in it.

BTW, do you know how carpenters used to test if a surface is straight (even) or not? well i dont know if its still used or not, they have a small mercury-air bubble instrument. inner ear will be more or less a similar model. Just in case you dont know, May be u should ask ur parents, as a kid i used to play with it.

Regarding the movement, assume you are on a smoth flat road. and both u and ur dad are pretty much still. even than will you be moving with respect to your dad? and will u be moving with respect to a pole? (or still object- just like sun and earth)

Om sai ram

Uncle unlike other sense organs why do the ears act weird when we get on rides ect. ??

mmm.... "why" is probable a tough question and may be there is an answer but no one knows it. In fact I had several such doubts, why heart is at that particular location, why not in legs for examples, what prevents stomach being up and lungs in the abdomen, why human should be like that etc  ..... similarly why ears have that function .. don't know.... all we know (atleast untill know) is they have a special function and try to explain the mechanics 

Om sai ram

Jai Sai Master!

Good questions Srusti!

I will try and look at one of those for now..

What is Happiness or Bliss ?? I know it's an emotion but what is it exactly ??

To answer this, we have to go a lil bit deeper.

When do we get happiness? When not? Can you give 5 examples of when we get and when we dont??

When we didn't have North, East, South, and West, how come we are following certain rules for our houses ?? When the Earth rotates with certain speed why can't we feel it ?? Even thought we are still we are still moving ?? Right ?? That to we don't get motion sickness. And while we are traveling in a flight or car, we get tired and sometimes get motion sickness. Does gravity also playing a role here ??

Dont we have north, east, south and west?

We certainly do! We can SEE that. Only by using such directions can the world work! Otherwise, even airplanes cant work!! Only when we think deeper, do we get to the truth that they dont exist absolutely. Only in our sensory experience do they exist. But in our sensory experience, they are as REAL as the next person standing to you!!

This is what Master used as an example to explain a very important principle. THERE ARE LEVELS OF TRUTH. Sensory level, and then logically different levels. All these truths are valid based on what level we are talking about. For example, if we talk of what we SEE, directions are TRUE. When we talk of EARTH impersonally (that is not as we see it, but as an object in our thinking), seems like directions are not there!

Similarly, there are several levels of truth. All levels are true at their own level!!

The deeper one thinks, the greater level of truth one understands. Thats all.

Hope i didnt confuse you. If I did, do read the second chapter of "edinijam" and you will get a clearer picture.

Jai Sai Master!!

Dear Dwaraka Uncle,

When do we get happiness? When not? Can you give 5 examples of when we get and when we dont??

5 examples for happiness :

1) If I get a birthday present that I wanted I would get happy.
2) If I get a reply to 1 of my questions on the Forum ( especially from you.)( Dwaraka Uncle. )
3) When I see that birds ( Baba) is eating food. We put up a bird feeder and a hummingbird feeder, I have been told that if everyday we say Baba please come and eat the food that he will really come.(he does because he is in every bird that is coming to eat.)

4) If I get to play with my friends.
5) When I watch the rain falling. ( which is happening right now)


5 examples for opposite of happiness :

1) When I don't get a birthday present that I was expecting.
2) When I didn't get a reply to 1 of my questions.
I was told that don't expect replies for my every message.

3) When the Baba birds didn't come to eat because it was so hot that they stayed in the trees.
4) When I have so much homework to do I couldn't go out to play.
5) When the rain upsets one of our programs.

I asked what happiness is because Dwaraka Uncle said, we only get real happiness in spirituality. And in Matam Enduku? book master garu explained that everything we feel with sense organs and mind is an illusion,and they won't give real happiness,  just like a dream in deep sleep. Then this entire universe is an illusion, so where and what is the real world ??

Dont we have north, east, south and west?

We certainly do! We can SEE that. Only by using such directions can the world work! Otherwise, even airplanes cant work!! Only when we think deeper, do we get to the truth that they dont exist absolutely. Only in our sensory experience do they exist. But in our sensory experience, they are as REAL as the next person standing to you!!

I'm totally convinced Uncle. Just like we can see god and we can't see god.
