Question from Vinay: Hello, I want to ask you a couple of questions. 1) Could being on the path unveil all the secret workings of this universe? Could we really explain everything in this universe?

Question from Ray Huxley: Does not the concept of God and an after life only strengthen the ego?
Question from Cris: I’m entering my 2nd year of practice. Lately in meditation I’ve been sinking into sleepy, semi-hallucinatory moments.

Question from ash: Hello, I have been practicing kriya pranayama and meditation for the past two years. During the first year I felt nothing but pure joy and peace.

Question from Brendan: I have been practicing meditation for a couple months. I feel stronger but I get scared at times. I sometimes doubt Yogananda and it makes me feel bad. I feel scared of negative spirits around me too. How can I overcome these fears? How can I become truly confident of my spiritual strength? How can I grow more faith in…
