Q&A - Session 3 | Sri M | Dubai | April 2026

In the Q&A session (3) from the Dubai Retreat, Sri M addresses a wide range of profound questions on consciousness, karma, desire, and the cycle of birth and death. He explores the nature and role of deities, the question of the Guru himself being an attachment, and the challenges faced in spiritual practice, including impulsiveness, fasting, and Kriya Yoga. Sri M also narrates some funny incidents and stories and the session ends with a meditation session with Sri M. This satsang took place during the Dubai retreat in April 2026. 00:00 – Q1 – Does consciousness manifest differently in different forms of life? For example, is the consciousness in a tree the same as that in a human being? 00:34 – Q2 - If consciousness is primary and the senses are only instruments, does it mean that perception is not limited to the physical organs? For instance, can one, in some sense, "see" through the ears or perceive through any part of the body? 04:54 – Q3 - Why do they talk about the grades or degrees of Moksha? 10:34 - Why are we trapped in the cycle of birth and death? 12:56 – Q4 – What is the role of Karma in our spiritual path? 14:57 – Q5 - In the example of the tree extending its roots in search of water, it as an expression of its survival. How does this relate to consciousness? What is the connection between the instinct for survival and consciousness? 17:38 – Q6 - In the context of the 'crow logic' that you mentioned earlier, does it call into question the law of causation—the principle of cause and effect itself? 23:27 – Q7 - We are told that desires keep us returning to this world. Is the desire to seek a Guru also a desire that has to be given up at some stage? 25:51 – Q8 - I find myself to be quite impulsive, even in my spiritual practices, and I struggle with this. How can I deal with it? 28:29 – Q9 - When I listen to music, I sometimes feel deeply happy and blissful. Can this be considered a very small glimpse of true bliss? 30:46 – Q10 - Is dying without fear a mark of spiritual success? And is it really possible to attain such a state? 33:37 – Q11 - Many of us have grown up with the concept of a deity being central to spirituality, religion etc. What is the reality of a deity, and what role does a deity play on the spiritual path? 35:34 – Q12 - Baba is there a role of a deity in a kriya yogi's path? 36:31 – Q13 : All these identities and images we create eventually have to be broken if we need to reach there, is it not? 43:15 – Sri M narrates a funny story – an incident with Maheshwarnath Babaji 45:27 – Sri M narrates an incident from Sri Ramakrishna’s life 47:14 – Q14 : Can a 17 y ear old take Kriya diksha? 48:11 – Q15 - Does fasting help in the spiritual path? 51:49 – Sri M begins Meditation.
