"There are two ways to end a problem, It could either be solved or dissolved."


 Sri Bhagavan:


The first method is to find a solution for the problem in the external world. If you have a big nose and a dark skin, of which you are embarrassed and cursing your stars for, the external solution would be to shell out money and set it right by doing a plastic surgery. There is also a straight forward and painless alternative that comes free of cost, simply to accept it! The problem remains externally but ends internally. The problem ceases to be a problem.

Peace and happiness are the two things that one aims to achieve by solving a problem. Sadly, man is stuck with the idea that an end to his problem is possible only when it ends externally, least aware that an external solution is not the only criterion for a peaceful and happy living. A solution may put an end to the problem, but it may not bring permanent joy, as life is ready to bowl another problem. It is like a man trying to battle the waves of the ocean. No sooner than one subsides, the other is ready to swoop any minute. Anticipating a 'one-day-I-will-be-problem-free' thing is ignorance. If one cannot be happy in the 'now and here', one can never be happy anywhere. Happiness is an internal state. It does not depend on external situations. This is the reality of an enlightened person.

It was this state of Enlightenment that kept Ramana Maharshi and Ramakrishna Parmahamsa equanimous inspite of their cancer. It was this state that kept the Buddha stress free in spite of facing lot of troubles from the king and his monastery. It was this state that made Christ say "Lord! Forgive them for they know not what they do" even he was tortured.

Enlightenment could make one either into a saint or a sage. It is a state where one lives and enjoys life completely without the burden of thought. For an enlightened person, his very existence is joy, unlike an unenlightened person who searches for umpteen reasons to be happy.

But this state cannot be attained by spiritual practices, penance or severe austerities. When you do get enlightened it is only through Divine grace. Even for the Buddha, Mahavira and other enlightened masters, it was only a benediction.


Enlightenment is possible for all those who seek, at the Mukti Deekshas bestowed at Oneness University.

" In relationships, friendship arises only when there is unconditional love. "

Sri Amma Bhagavan "Sri Amma Bhagavan define "Friendship" as freedom in relationship. In friendship, there is no judgement, fear, planning, insecurity etc. What exists is freedom. There is unconditional love. It is not attachment, possessiveness etc. There are no rules or conditions. There is no suffering of loss. But it is just there. It is causeless and there is joy. Only when one experiences unconditional love, one experiences that freedom which is 'friendship' which Sri Amma Bhagavan are talking about. This unconditional Love cannot be practised. It is a benediction from The Divine. The only way one can experience unconditional Love is by realising that it is not there and seek for it from The Lord. People experience unconditional Love in the Oneness Processes which heals relationships."

Vision of Oneness

Dear Bhagavan, we have heard you say that vision of Oneness is to set humanity free. Could You elucidate on this? Sri Bhagavan: "Nature has thrown up a tremendous variety of species. The physical component provided by nature could be considered the hardware. If evolution of life were compared to a day then humanity suppose to have emerged in the last few moments. This tremendously advanced spieces of human kind has created a software, based on the hardware provided by nature. This software consists of beliefs, perceptions, religions, myths, cultures and any number of stories on which it runs. The sum total of this psychological content could be termed the software that is running the spieces. A significant section of this software is limiting in nature and is detrimental to the experience of living. One of the most defective softwares that has become part of the human system is the illusory identity of the thinker or self. The vision of Oneness is to set humanity totally and ...

How to cultivate love and compassion ?

Sri Bhagavan: "Oneness is all about stay with the truth. The truth is you don't have connection with the divine. The truth is you are not compassionate. The truth is you are not loving. What Oneness says is look at the fact and stay with the fact and do not do anything. It's the do-nothing teaching.  Now for example oneness does not believe in cultivating virtue. That is you do not have love in you but you practice love. You do not have kindness but you practice kindness you do not have truthfulness but you practice truth. Now with cultivating it is not true at all. Either you are loving or you are not loving.  Oneness talk about real truthfulness, natural truthfulness, natural compassion, natural love, natural kindness, whatever you want.  How do you get it? By simply looking at the fact that is not there.  That is the truth. Truth has its own power."
