Moreover, in doing so, he fails to abide the law of God, which says that one does not have right to the fruits. What you have to really do is to steady your intellect with the thought that the fruits of actions are of God. And when the fruit accrue in the form of success [...]

Good morning friends.  In our life, we experience good and bad memeories.  This is natural.  Even we don’t want bad things to happen to us, there will come a time that we will experience things which we don’t want to happen.  But the important thing with that is, we have to cherish good memories only [...]

When you come face-to-face with stress, don’t take it as a negative phenomenon. Look upon it as a challenge and try to meet it. You have to activate your mind in a positive direction. Don’t lose your positivity; don’t resort the language of complaint. When there is stress in your life, face it as a normal [...]

Good morning friends.  Some time in our life, we do feel stress.  It’s uncontrollable but we can minimize it.  It depends on us how we can handle the situation.  So we can say that stress is a good servant but a bad master. Everyone complains of stress or tension, a common phenomenon of our times. There are [...]

On the flip side, pure good also cannot survive all by itself. Pure good would sublimate and merge with the Supreme Force without trace. We might ask: How did saintly souls like Christ, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, Tukaram, Guru Nanak and others lead a pure life? How can we associate them with any form of negativity? [...]

Good morning friends.  Each and everyone of us experience a good times and a bad times.  If we r to be asked, we wanted that all good things will only happen to us.  But we are all aware that life is not like only good things.  As many said, to have a good spice of [...]

Meditation helped at that time? No. I was completely dysfunctional for months. I would go to auditions and not know what I was doing. But at the end of the day, your own survival needs take over. And you realize you can choose to survive or perish. You force yourself to come back. And at THAT [...]

At times of huge challenge, where do you find the energy? I can’t answer that question. Whatever energy I have needed was always there. It’s just there. Whether it’s a very complicated film I am doing, going through a divorce, or the death of my son. Whatever challenge has arisen, I just had the strength. At times [...]

Touching people through your acting is part of your answer to it? You are touching very sensitive areas here. Truth be told, I have been an actor all my life but I don’t define myself as an actor. I don’t see acting as a passion for me. It’s something I do well if I set my [...]

Beyond that, at a larger level, what drives me is the need to know I have made a difference, that I stand out as an individual. Being an individual is very important for me. I am not a group kind of person, I am not a joiner of clubs, associations, and so on. I do [...]

Zen emphasizes awareness in the moment and interconnectedness if your objective is to reach inner peace – so it also depends on what you want and what is your objective, doesn’t it? Let me put it very simply, I just don’t think it works, no matter what the objective is. I could give you a huge [...]

Do I believe in karma? Not in the sense of somebody keeping a bank balance of my good and bad deeds. But I do believe in the cause and effect. In the sense that if I deliberately kill an ant walking across my table in a vicious manner, that insensitive act has affected my consciousness, [...]

So is there a place in your life for rituals or prayers or meditation? There isn’t a particular time I set aside. There are times I will go to a gurudwara and pay my respects. If I am in Rome I may walk into a church. If I am close to a Hindu temple, I will [...]

And sleeping on a hard bed, in a very bare room, surrounded by all kinds of strange people with shaven heads. You could be in an alien landscape. So anyway, Buddhism was a very important influence in my life and for a long time I did consider myself as such. But over the years, my larger mindset [...]

What is spirituality concretely in your life?  It’s really been a search for understanding.  On my father’s side I come from the Sikh tradition. The Bedis are descendants of Guru Nanak so there always was a strong Sikh influence in my life. My mother on the other hand became a Buddhist and spent the last fifteen years [...]
