The spiritual head of Sadhu Vaswani Mission in Pune, Dada J P Vaswani was born on August 2, 1918, at Hyderabad-Sind. Being a brilliant student, he was given a number of double promotions and thus passed the the B.S. examination when just seventeen. A masters degree and fellowship at a leading college followed and Dada seemed poised at the threshold of a brilliant academic or civil services career. It was at this stage that he gave it all up and decided to follow his uncle and guru, Sadhu T.L. Vaswani, a mystic and philosopher on the spiritual path. Reaching out to people with a message of spirituality became his life mission. As editor of Excelsior magazine, he was initially met with opposition as not everyone related to the spiritual dimension. Still, he took it upon himself to write, proof read, print, get advertisements, package and post the magazine all by himself. The publications popularity grew to the extent that it surpassed the circulation of the leading daily newspaper, The Sind Observer. Ask Dada J P Vaswani |  |
The Answer to the question, “Who am I”, is within you. It will be revealed to you through daily practice of silence. In silence, you will keep on sinking deeper and deeper within yourself until one day you will get the desired answer. The question is “Koham”, “What am I”. The answer is “Soham” “Thou Art That”. You are not this– that you take yourself to be. You are not the body that you wear: you are not a creature of the earth, earthy. You are That. What that is will be revealed to you in hours of silence. Therefore let practice of silence be a “Must” – item of your daily programme.
All types of genes – good and bad – are present within us. Much depends on the environment in which we live and/or the training that we receive especially when we are young. If your children receive the right type of training, you have no cause to worry. History bears witness to the fact that crooks have been born to saintly souls and saints have been born to parents of questionable character.
The Guru meant for you will come and reveal himself to you at the right time. You have only to aspire and pray that you may be linked to a true Guru.
If you have a physical illness, you consult a doctor. Likewise, if a person is mentally ill, he should consult a psychiatrist.
Wherever there is the feeling of "I", there is bound to be pressure. If you want your life to be free of pressure, you should move on the path of surrender. You should repeat the mantra: "Naaham! Naaham! Tuho! Tuho!" "Not I, but Thou!"
You are working only as an agent of God. He is the Master. Loss and profit are His. If you work in this spirit, you will find that you will be free from pressure.
