Guru - Disciple | In Quest of Truth - Q&A with Babaji, No.237
Recorded on 5 July 2025 with worldwide participants
00:00 What is the basic theme of the Guru Gita on which Babaji has written a commentary?
04:42 The guru - disciple relationship seems very unique to the spiritual tradition in India.
15:17 The word 'disciple' comes from 'discipline' - what is that discipline?
18:47 Is there a difference between a devotee and a disciple?
22:41 Babaji has said the Guru is like a surgeon and the disciple must give authorization to operate on him/her. Why must that operation be painful?
37:23 Can a Guru who is Self-Realized take on a disciple's karma?
43:11 Babaji has mentioned He is the 'silent killer'; can Babaji explain this please?
44:49 Can the Guru enable the disciple to obtain mukti when they drop the body so they don't have to do tapas in this life?
47:48 What is the significance of celebrating the physical form of Swamiji when Babaji and Swamiji are one and the same, that all-pervading truth?
51:05 What are the different dimensions that the soul goes to?
52:47 Is the guru - disciple relationship carried on many lifetimes, and if so, if the Guru drops the body and there is no next incarnation, how does that carry on?
54:42 Are there any pitfalls in following a different Guru such as Babaji after my Guru has dropped the physical body?
58:58 Should I switch techniques to what Babaji recommends?
1:00:24 Would it be advisable in spite of my old age to come to the retreat in India with Babaji?
1:02:07 A person has advised that I get in touch with my feelings to unblock them, but can Babaji give advice on this?
1:05:25 Babaji, even though we have not met physically, can You still be my Guru?
1:06:31 Even if I have not served Babaji?
1:07:09 Is it the true feelings that one has that makes the guru - disciple relationship?
