Swamiji's responses to people's queries
And having know this, thou shalt not again fall into confusion.. .for by this wilt thou see all beings without exception in the Self and thus in Me.
- The Bhagvad Gita
Is Divine Healing more effective than other healing sciences like Allopathy?
Every science has its advantages and limitations. I accept all medical sciences to the extent that they benefit their followers.
Allopathic science excels in various aspects, like diagnostic techniques & surgical procedures. But it fails to take a holistic approach to health, treating only the body and ignoring the sciences that deal with the mind, the emotions and the soul.
With the result that the treatment is often superficial, removing the symptoms of the disease but not its cause. This is why diseases tend to recur after a while, or medicines have negative side-effects.
Divine healing is based on the idea that man has a unity of body, mind and soul, and healing has to focus on man's total Being. You could say that we begin where medical science ends.
How long does it take to get completely cured?
That depends, of course, on the severity of the disease and the age and mental condition of the patient. It also depends on how long the person has suffered from that disease and how deep the disease is rooted in his body. Estimations can be made for individual patients, but not in general. On seeing the patient personally I can tell you how long he will take to recover completely. I also request patients to meditate regularly to aid in speedy recovery.
Are there any patients who don't get cured?
No.
90% of patients arc completely cured, while the rest experience 80-90% improvement.
So far there hasn't been a single patient who has left my presence just the way he came.
Can the disease recur at a later tune?
No.
99% chances are that the disease will not recur.
During the healing sessions, we energise not just the diseased part but the whole body. We root out the disease, and infuse the body with. the vital energy required to fight future diseases.
Moreover, we impart not just healing, but awareness of the causes of the disease.
Once the person becomes aware that he is himself inviting these diseases; he becomes alert to the warning signs.
Which are the diseases you can cure?
In divine healing, the names of specific diseases are irrelevant. Only health or illness exists, only positive energy or negative energy, only high vitality or low vitality.
In fact, all disease is interpreted as ‘low energy’. We may not even know the name of a disease we have cured you of. But it doesn’t matter. We work with the roots of the disease, not with the branches and leaves.
Can you heal a patient whose condition is already critical?
Yes.
If we go by medical records, we could say that divine healing has cured people of brain tumours, cancer, liver damage and a host of other so-called fatal diseases. We have brought back to normal life even terminally ill and comatose patients.
Do you call yourself God, or an Avatar?
Today, I can say:
I am God.
I have seen God.
I have become God.
I have realized the soul.
I have become the energy.
I have realized the Truth.
Yes, I have become one with energy that sustains existence.
But remember the potential to become God exists in every single one of us.
From where do you get this healing energy?
From God.
From existence.
From the ultimate source of all energy.
Can we also attain this power?
Of course. Anyone who is sincere, fearless and persevering can obtain this energy directly from existence. And should you need help, I am there for you. When you attune yourself to God, or to the universal source of energy, you too will be blessed with healing powers. All my healers in tUne with me... that's how they heal you.
Are you a follower of any particular religion?
First of all, what do you mean by religion?
To me, the difference between religion and spirituality is very simple if you follow anything without inner understanding that makes you simply religious. But if you follow anything with complete inner awareness, that is true spirituality.
I am a spiritual man, not a religious man.
Then why this saffron robe?
Good question!
These days a new kind of therapy has become popular worldwide.
It's called color therapy, and is based on the fact that colours have subtle qualities that can deeply impact our mental state. Different colours can create certain moods and thoughts in our minds.
Without giving it a name, Indians have been practising colour therapy for thousands of years. The colour Saffron is known to have the power to create a silence in your mind. It stimulates your vital energy and induces a meditative state of mind. This is a universal science. It has nothing to do with Hinduism.
Do you heal people irrespective of whether they are your followers or not?
Of course.
There is no compulsion to believe in me or in my teachings. All I ask is that patients are open-minded. By openness, I mean that one should have sufficient sensitivity and receptivity to the healing process. Openness is simply the courage to accept and follow a procedure if there is truth in it.
I ask you to see with open eyes.
You will have your own experience and clarity.
And that will give you still more courage, strength and joy, since you have experienced the truth yourself.
If this healing power is a gift from the divine, why is there a fee?
There are two reasons for this.
The first is that, man being conditioned by society, trusts and values a service only if he pays for it. Else there is a tendency to take it for granted.
But the more important reason is, diseases are a direct result of Karma. They can be rooted out completely only by doing Dharma (the act of giving). This is the law of nature. After all, what goes around comes around. When you contribute to a worthy cause, you facilitate your own healing process as well.
This kind of healing is sometimes called black magic.
Well, you could call it white magic!
Let me explain the difference between white and black magic.
The energy we use for healing can be compared to a knife. A knife is neither good nor bad; that depends on how we use it.
The ability to handle this energy with maturity and understanding results in ‘white magic’. When one tries to harness the energy, but lacks the maturity to do so properly, it results in ‘black magic’, which causes harm, destruction and pain.
When you receive energy from an enlightened person, only good things can happen to you.
Is distant healing possible?
Yes.
Only on the physical and mental planes are we different and separate. On the energy level we are all connected. So places and distances become irrelevant on the energy level. I have not even seen the faces of many patients in distant countries whom I have healed. I have also healed many patients over the telephone and via e-mail.
Why don’t you heal all your patients directly? Why are some patients healed by your disciples?
I heal as many patients as possible myself. But there are so marry patients, and I have only two hands! So I create thousands of hands by initiating my disciples. My disciples act as my hands. They are my channels, they receive my energy and redirect it towards you. So, ultimately, all patients are healed by me, whether directly or indirectly.
Are you not interfering with our karmas by curing our diseases without suffering?
This whole idea of ‘essential suffering’ is a misconception. What you call karma, I simply call ‘negative energy’.
Karmas have only a negative existence, that is, they ire the absence of something rather than the presence of anything. lit t as darkness is only the absence of light, karmas are the absence of energy (or negative energy or low energy).
And just as darkness disappears in the presence oft e light, karmas (negative energy) disappear on their own in the presence of positive energy. So-I am in no way interfering with your karmas when I heal you.
