		<description>With the Blessings of Guru and God...

Here is a response to Dash's question above - "why do higher beings like Kala Bhairava feel happy when material offerings are made?"

A great Master told me this story.... One afternoon a Mother was feeding her toddler and telling stories...After a while the toddler took a spoonful of the meal and fed it to his Mother, saying "Here Ma, you also please eat".  The Mother was overjoyed and relished the spoonful and said "Thank you my sweet son"  Now the toddler giggled and after a while again fed his Mother... and again the Mother was beside herself with joy...

From this story my Master pointed out, that the toddler was after all feeding the Mother from the food that She cooked and made available, but just the fact that the child "shared" it with Her, made her immensely happy...

In a similar way ALL higher beings (who are part of ONE GOD) give all material things for us humans to enjoy, but when we acknowledge and "give back" somethings to them they are overjoyed...They do NOT need anything from us, just as the Mother in the above story did not need her son to feed Her, but nevertheless it is a joy to receive from those you give lovingly...

Many a Master has said that Man is made as a reflection of GOD...so it would seem natural that GOD would be pleased when we share material things both with HIM and fellow beings...</description>

		<description>Gurudev - One has been missing your presence in ones physical life especially since you stopped the You Tube videos. For the mind clamoring for fresh experience - those stale videos do not quite meet the needs... But you are the wise one.. so it must be for the benefit of me.

But I have a question - why do higher beings like Kala Bhairava feel happy when material offerings are made?</description>

		<description>Heartfelt Respects to Sri. Datta!

It is so true.. when we come into this world, in a dimension, not known to us. We travel into a realm of certainities and uncertainities. We walk on path of action.. that might be positive or negative. 
All of us, the ill- the suffereing - the disabled - the rich - the business tycoon.. just about everyone. 
However, we are unaware of what the future holds for us. 
But here , is where we need to have a moderator in our lives. 
To help us enhance our integral self and bring in greater clairty in our decision- making. 
To help us exploit our potential and reach out to those who need to be served in the name of humanity.
And there are people out there who might have committed whatever, in the past lives, but it is for us to be there for them. 
And there being there, is also a reason for us to better ourselves.. to be humane.. and not just ponder over the fact of disparity in the socieities of the world.

Sri Datta, thank you for bringing us into your fold of positive perception and greater understanding of life. 

This will surely help us to live our life to its fullest.

With all due respects

Sastaang Pranams to you!

		<description>The concept of karma as suffering from a past life seems unfair to me.  Why do we have to suffer for things we did that we don't even remember doing?  In the U.S. we do not punish mentally ill persons, who by virtue of their insanity did not understand the consequences of the action they committed.  How can we understand the consequences if we don't even know what we did to offend or when we did it?</description>

		<description>I agree with a lot of this. Datta Ji brings up some good insights. I really think its about changing the way you look at things. This is a Wayne Dyer concept, who was taught by Datta ji as well. "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Karma is a lot like limiting beliefs, if not the same thing. It's a really matter of believing that reality is already manifested. You're already rich and happy! So, I ask you how would you feel if it was already here and normal. Well, for one thing, you wouldn't sending out a wanting energy, because you already have it. Instead you would be less focused on making it happen and more on just living life.

Hope this helps. I will try to talk more about it on my blog.

Thanks datta ji, 
Mandeep</description>

		<description>Karma is often explained as cause and effect.  To paraphrase Datta, our actions (perceptions, too) create the world in which we live.  This is common sense and helpful to all striving to live peacefully, happily and purposefully.

I'm not sure that karmic "baggage" from past lives can explain the suffering in places like Africa, Afghanistan, Nepal, etc.  Are these places some kind of refugee work camp for unfortunate souls?  Why are all the people with karmic problems from a past life sent to Darfur, while the ones with good karma are sent to Provence?

I also worry that some people might perceive that providing some form of human comfort to people in countries of grinding poverty is treating the symptom of a disease instead of the cause.  The suggestion here is that the cause is karma from past lives.  The healing of the soul cannot occur without the body having some sustenance.

In this country we often hear of the poor needing to pull themselves up by their own boot straps.

Respectfully Submitted,

Eva</description>
