And remember, it's not his question or her question or somebody else's question.

All of these questions are usually our own questions.

Many people have these questions.

And sometimes I've seen the answers.

They may not work for the one who is asking the question,

but they may work for somebody else who is sitting quietly and listening to the answer.

So let's attentively listen to the questions and the answers.

We have, to begin with, several questions on practical Vedanta.

Yes.

From Uttaran, how can we train the mind to get rid of karma-vritis?

Can someone be aware of his or her progress towards enlightenment?

Can they actually know whether they are progressing towards the final awakening? From Subramania, how does a person who has experienced a strong love of God

fall back into lust and worldiness?

How can it be avoided and how does one regain love of God?

How to avoid the mind being affected by the hundreds of different hateful and misleading things that happen in life?

From Vicas, how do we reconcile our need for inner peace on the one hand with our passion

to be successful in the world on the other? And from Anurban, why does our nature drag us

against the laws of nature even if it is nature itself which has set the laws. For example,

jealousy is not the rule of nature, but we as human beings have a tendency to feel jealous. Is it that

the tendency of a human being is to sail the boat against the flow.

Yes, all those questions have a common theme.

Spiritual progress, spiritual struggle, spiritual practice.
