What is liberation? Is it a solution to all our problems? Is it peace of mind? I do not believe that there is a problem that cannot be solved by man. Then why Nama Kirtan ?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

You are right! There is no problem that cannot be solved by man.

 

Instead of taking problems one by one, if you put in a little more thought, you will realize that the only way to reach the problem-free point is never to be born again.

 

To look at it the differently, what do you mean by peace? It is an everlasting, absolute state of happiness - not temporary, but permanent: not mixed with a droplet of sorrow. How do we attain that state? if we are born and lead a life we are bound to get some problem at some point. So to attain eternal peace, it is imperative that we never be born again; get out of the cycle of births and deaths; get liberated.

 

That is the ideal solution and the way it is achieved is, through Nama Kirtan. It is not an alien effort. It is indeed the only solution and is very much in your own hands..

I am chanting maha mantra and following a normal life. How long will it take to attain the Lord? I want to know whether these sufferings will be there in my whole life.

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

You are already one among the blessed few, picked by the Lord Himself. Don't get bogged down by any troubles or sufferings on your path. It might be a test for your devotion and faith on the Almighty.

 

Hold on to the Maha Mantra strongly and continue to chant it with the same love and devotion. A sparkling bright future awaits you if you remain steadfast in your chanting.
