(Questioner) “Does being unclutched mean that you don’t care about anything?”
Swamiji: No. You don’t care only about suffering.
(Questioner) “And if someone is physically or verbally abusing you how do you respond if you are unclutched?”
Swamiji: It’s like a … Your bio memory will not keep quiet. Automatically respond. But after that you will not carry the taste of vengeance and irritation, that’s all. The action itself will not be different. But the irritation, vengeance, suffering will not be there.
...54, he’s asking the best technique to be practiced. Number 54. Unclutching. That’s all.
(Questioner) “Would you encourage having a Facebook group of all participants IA, LBE?
Swamiji: I’ll really encourage. Please go ahead and have a Facebook group. Form it today. Yes. Form it today. Evolve. Evolve my blessings for all good, friendliness, friendship, and encouraging growing spiritually. See, disciple-disciple relationship is always good if it creates more and more feeling connection with the master and the message and the life. It’s great. Disciple-disciple relationship is the worst sin if it is, what to say that - reduces your devotion towards the master. “If you are going to help me in my spiritual path, come. Otherwise get lost.” Otherwise, I encourage.
(Inaudible) Devi (name of a participant), the pains in the body don’t matter about, for the process. Actually, pains are created by the process only. So don’t worry about that at all.
Arundade, she’s asking about onion, green chili, garlic. It’s just natural steroid. That’s all. Nothing else. As a medicine garlic is good. But not as a food.

(Questioner) “Nirvikalpa samadhi - you are both thoughtless and breathless.”
Swamiji: No, it is not actually breathless. When videha samadhi only breathlessness happens. In nirvikalpa samadhi you become thoughtless but the breath will be there as long as the body is alive, prarabhda is alive. Mhm. Once the prarabhda settles down only you become thoughtless also.
Thoughtlessness happens only when the prarabhda also is exhaust, means I can say… In ordinary breath there is a part of energy and thought, that when the thought disappears ordinary breathing does not happen. That time what happens is just body taking care of itself, like a surviving mechanism. So that cannot be called as breathing. But a breathlessness will not happen til the body is there. When the body goes away - videha samadhi - only breathlessness happens.

Swamiji speaking to a participant: During the unclutching? No need actually. That will happen when it is required. Actually, when you don’t attend, you are not hearing. When you attend, you are hearing. Only those moments you attend, you remember. There are so many moments you don’t hear. You don’t remember those moments.
(Questioner) “Would you tell us a little about Nandi? I love his energy when I visit the temple.”
Swamiji: Nandi is a great devotee of Shiva. He’s supposed to be the first disciple and vehicle for him. And the teachings given to Nandi has created a big sampradaya - Nandinatha Sampradaya. There is a sampradaya - Nandinatha Sampradaya. The Hinduism Today Hawaii, they belong to that sampradaya. Natha sampradaya is Nandinatha Sampradaya. I don’t about Edgar Cayce, but I know about akashic records. Akashic record means all the things happened in the cosmos. There is an archives. That is what is akashic records. Master can access that and download and radiate.
(Questioner) “Can you please explain what difference you make between devotees and disciples?”
Swamiji: Devotees are more like customers. They come for something. As long as they get, they are there. Otherwise, they go away.
Disciples are people who want enlightenment. Who are feeling connected, not just customer relationship. It’s a deep feeling connection. I stand for them and they stand for what I stand for. Naturally, after initiation I accept you as disciple. You accepting me as guru or not is your (illegible) relation.
