Good Spiritual video... Questions asked in video -:

-'Who am I?' 'Who are you?'

- What is enlightenment?

- Are there any qualifications for enlightenment? Is sadhana (spiritual practice) necessary?

- Sri Ramana said that Self-enquiry is the most direct route to Enlightenment. What is Self-enquiry?

- What is the true understanding of the world?

- It has been suggested that the mind must be destroyed for liberation to occur. Do you have a mind? How to destroy the mind?

- What about vasanas, the tendencies of the mind? Must these be removed before Self-realisation can become permanent?

- Sri Ramana says, 'He who is thus endowed with a mind that has become subtle, and who has the experience of the Self is called a 'jivanmukta'. Is this the state that can be called Self-realised?

- Who is the guru? What is the guru's role? How to recognise a true guru?

- Please say something about bhakti, devotion, in the pursuit of awakening.

- Seekers often have curious ideas about the enlightened state. Please describe your typical day and how you perceive the world.

- When you meet someone with a passion for awakening, what would your short advice be?
