“I have been a follower of your teachings for many years and I find it very insightful and helpful in general.
I feel conflicted about my life’s “meaning”, that is, what is it that I am really here to learn or give or do in this lifetime?
I believe our souls are eternal and that we come to this life for a purpose, but it is difficult at times to understand just what that is.
I am very fortunate and grateful for the blessings that I have in this life (through no doing of my own, but really, just due to the life I was placed in.).
I feel that much of my time here is “wasted” and I don’t really know what the path is.
My life is easy and blessed and I am compassionate about life (particularly when it comes to those who have no voice such as animals and children).
I am loving and caring, but don’t feel like I am doing anything that really “matters”.
I really don’t want to have to return to another lifetime in order to learn things, possibly in a more difficult life situation, which some feel happens to “evolved souls”.
Rather than feeling content in my earthly skin, I am just feeling that I am missing the point of my presence here.
I am healthy, but I miss being young (I am 61 years old and feeling old for the first time.).
Why am I missing the “point”?”
My response:
Based on your account, I don’t think you have been missing the point of a meaningful life.
It’s just that your self-critical mind is telling you it’s not enough.
You seem to be comparing your current life to some ideal life that has great purpose, but you cannot live an ideal life, you can only live your actual life.
Life purpose is not something you strive to figure out and then attain; purpose and meaning are what you find in your everyday actions and thinking—your smiles, your hugs, or sharing a conversation or a walk with someone…
Purpose reveals itself in the way you help those less fortunate.
You contribute your unique quality to the betterment of the world just through your compassion and gratitude.
Once you stop trying to be something or find a purpose outside of yourself, you will realize you are already living your purpose and always have been.
Love,
Deepak

“I finished the second week of the meditation on compassion, and I have a question.
You said compassion needs no judgment –
‘The problem with judgment is that if you are in the right, you’ve put someone else in the wrong.
So judgment creates a gulf of separation.
And on the other side of the gulf, the person you judge against is usually judging you just as harshly.
Being thankful is the opposite of being judgmental.’
I have a relative who abandoned his children for money.
I really disagree with his behavior, and I don’t want to be friends with him.
How can I have compassion with this person without judgment?”
My Response:
Being compassionate toward another human being doesn’t mean you necessarily agree with his behavior.
I don’t know exactly what it means that “he abandoned his children for money,” but it’s unlikely that he describes his life choices the same way you did.
Being compassionate to someone is recognizing the common humanity we all share, a connection of spirit that binds us all even if in our pain, weakness, and misunderstanding we choose very different life decisions.
Being compassionate is for your benefit.
It keeps your heart from becoming hard and small.
Compassion opens you up, keeps you connected to others, and keeps your heart whole.
Love,
Deepak

“I just can’t seem to find the silence these days meditating.
Things have been going on, future plans, stresses, etc.
My mind keeps being the ‘monkey mind’.
I am saying the mantra but it is like I am just sitting there saying it.
I don’t get to that peace, and I find it tough to handle some of the thoughts.
Any tips?
Pranayama helps sometimes but not always.”
My Response:
See if you can meditate without the expectation of silence.
Simply be open to whatever experience of consciousness your inner self brings to you.
That is the experience you need at that particular moment.
Trust it and embrace it.
Don’t judge it as poor meditation or an overactive monkey mind.
As long as you are meditating without trying to think the mantra clearly and not resisting or resenting thoughts, then whatever kind of meditation you are having—active or silent—is exactly what your mind/body/spirit needs at that time.
Allow that experience to unfold however it needs to.
It will be the step you need to bring you closer to full awakening.
Love,
Deepak

“I am doing both meditation series: manifesting grace through gratitude and the energy of attraction.
What can I do to stay awake during meditation?
I do them twice a day (morning and evening) but it often happens that I fall asleep.”
My Response:
The most important thing is to get more sleep at nighttime.
If you still fall asleep during meditation, don’t worry about it.
If you need to lie down and sleep, that’s fine.
Don’t try to stay awake to meditate.
Sleep during meditation is a deeper quality of sleep than you have at night, and it will help you release tensions and contractions you wouldn’t ordinarily get at otherwise.
When you awaken, sit up and finish your meditation time.
If you have already gone over, end with 2-3 minutes of meditation.
Love,
Deepak

“Now that I have removed all my samskaras and have fully reintegrated my ego with my higher self, how can I find the motivation to expand my understanding of teachings?
As 99.9% of motivations come from the ego’s belief that it must PROVE to be good enough, now without the ego’s drive, what recommendations do you have to put energy into my teachings?”
My Response:
You don’t need personal motivation to accomplish great things.
It’s not about willpower or drive.
All that’s needed is to relax into the awareness of your higher self, and whatever role of service the Universe wants you to play, you will find all the energy and guidance you need.
It’s only a matter of being open and having no expectations.
Love,
Deepak

My Response:
This sense of the dispassionate observer within is your Being.
This awareness accompanies your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, without getting emotionally involved with them.
This is an indication of a greater spiritual awakening.
It shows the development of the true self as independent from the changing, limiting qualities of the mind, feelings, body, and senses.
Don’t worry, you are not becoming an insensitive, uncaring person.
This is a temporary stage that is heightened by the strong contrast this state of awareness has to the old ego-based self that defined itself with its identification with every feeling, drama, and attitude it experienced.
The emergence of the silent witness self is laying the groundwork for a more genuinely compassionate, giving, and intuitive you that can feel others’ emotional core and can help and support them without losing your own strength and center.
Love,
Deepak

“When following a yoga practice, is it ok to do more strenuous physical activities like running, fast walking, etc.?”
My Response:
Absolutely.
Some aerobic exercise can be an important adjunct to a healthy lifestyle.
If you are healthy enough for that kind of vigorous workout and you enjoy it, then you will likely gain much benefit from it.

Deepak
