We all say that what we are doing is ultimately because GOD wants us to do that, all good and bad - whatever we do - it is because of the will of GOD. Does it mean that if we do something wrong, behind that also ultimately GOD was there, then why should we get convicted for that deed, and we have to face the problems for that deed?

All these statements have a philosophy behind which you have to think over carefully. If one says that performance of bad actions is due to God, then one should also accept that the results also are due to Him. Conviction also naturally belongs to the God. He who does good, will be rewarded and the other punished for his misdeed.

Is it ok to tell a lie in order to please someone as long as you are not gaining something from it? I am not sure if it’s a right question to ask you sir, but its been bothering me too long. I do not know the answer to the question. I was hoping you can help me to clarify it. - September 3rd, 2007

- I am having hard time believing in God. Most of the times I believe in God, but some other times I have doubts creeping up. I see these doubts growing then I loose interest in meditation. I would stop doing meditation. When I start again, I have to start from scratch. It happened several times already. I can’t seem to make up my mind. - September 3rd, 2007
- It is said that God is impartial. We pay for what we did, good for good, bad for bad. My question is: is there no way of changing our destiny. If there is none, then there is no point in praying isn’t it? I have faced a lot of disappointments in my life yet every time I prayed. Now I have no more patience. If one has to live one should have some hope, without which it is very difficult to live. - September 3rd, 2007
- If we are all part of God then why did we come to this world? Our present state is according to our karma of last life. What I want to know is why did we come here the first time? Before that what was our state? And after getting Mukti what will be our state? - September 3rd, 2007
It is said that a body consists of a single soul. How is it possible for another soul to enter the same body? I have come across many instances where the person acts odd. It is said that the body of that particular person has been occupied by a prate atma (evil soul). Is it possible to happen so? Can the innocent be troubled by another evil atama.

Dear Friend
It is very difficult to answer your question in a rational manner. But, such things do prevail and people believe in it. Otherwise, the exorcists will have no work to do(! These things can neither be proved nor disproved. And usually we find such things happening on weak minds. It may be that, the so called evil spirits of the dead ones may act on the minds of the weak persons and not on their soul.
