“It will work out on this Guru Purnima day, is a very auspicious day. I bless you with a special powers that you can give realisations to other. Don’t get involved into your own problems, that’s not important, that will all be solved.

Mostly what I get, letters about is this, that, all personal problems or some sort of other problems. What you should do is to see what is your problem within, what is happening within you, why we are having a problem within, what is our duty, why we have got self realisation, why we have got this wealth of spirituality and what should we do with it.”
