So, where this works is, Diane is going to ask me questions collected from the internet audience,

and then it will be interspersed with questions from this audience.

So I will ask for people to raise their hands and I'll call on you one by one.

Not all of your questions will be answered.

Only a fraction of the questions we get from the worldwide audience is ever answered.

But as I said, one answer for all questions.

After you hear Vedantah for a while, you begin to see,

the Swami is just saying the same thing all again and again.

That's true.

I have only one thing to say.

And the Upanishads and the Gita.

And I think the world's mystical traditions have one thing to say,

that you are one with God.

Swami Vivekanth said, oneness, that's the only religion that is.

Ultimately religion is oneness.

But it can be expressed and should be expressed in different ways,

depending on the question,, it's not helpful.

So that's what we'll try to do here.

Don't wait for your question to come up and therefore remain deaf to all other questions.

Often I have seen the questions asked by somebody else

and answers to those questions are helpful for others

who are listening carefully.
