This is an insightful part of a question-and-answer session with Dr Harbhajan Singh, following an introductory lecture he had given the day before.
The premise of this informal talk is that self-knowledge precedes God-knowledge - the aim of human life. The approach to it should not be mistaken with the various methods of meditation offered today, but needs the help of someone who knows the inner regions and the dangers therein. To enter in the astral region is easy, but of no help to the soul – on the contrary, astral experiences make emotional and often cause mental diseases.
Spiritual life means to be in a state of equipoise. A real Saint makes no show of his competence. He furthers the consciousness and right understanding, which creates yearning to reach the homeland of the spirit and meet the Lord.
The lecture was recorded on 22nd May 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden.
