Shivabalayogi often engaged in informal conversations and he encouraged devotees’ questions. When he answered, it was apparent that he was eager to communicate understanding, and he had these conversations published in the book, Tapas Shakti.
Quotes from the Source offers the reader an understanding of some of what Shivabalayogi would like us to know. As he often said, in English, “Understand now?”
“You can ask your questions freely. He is going to give you answers openly and very clearly. You need not have doubts.”
Swamiji, where do your answers come from? From your mind, or Shiva?
“No no. No Shiva, no mind. Buddhi [intellect; inner wisdom]. It’s from his intelligence. As soon as you asked the question, he gets the answer in his buddhi and then he gives you the answer.”
“He is a yogi and he knows. If you meditate well, you can answer questions like that. There’s no need to learn or think anything. It automatically comes.”
“You have to experience the truth yourself. How can you believe Swamiji’s experiences? You should experience and know yourself.”
