Swami answers a question of an Advaita follower on Brahman and Parabrahman (Part-6)
SIXTH PART - CONCLUSION: Swami:- Drashtaa or jnaataa is seer or knower or subject, who sees or knows the object, called drushyam or jneyam. Druk or jnaanam is the process of seeing or knowing. Druk (sight) or jnaanam (knowledge) is referred to the process of seeing or knowing. There is no difference between druk (sight) or jnaanam (knowledge) and drashtaa (seer) or jnaataa (knower) respectively. The seer or knower is nothing but a container containing the sight or knowledge. Therefore, seer is sight and knower is knowledge. The sight or knowledge becomes the subject as well as the work...

Divine Satsanga on Shri Datta Swami's Birthday (Part-2)
5. Swami, why don’t You make all the fake Babas experience Your state so that they understand the pain involved in it and stop cheating people? [Smt. Sudha Rani asked: Just like how Sri Satya Sai Baba had given one of His devotees the experience of being in His state, why doesn’t Swami grant this experience to fake babas and dummies who act like incarnations of God to earn fame and money falsely. I think, in this way, You can completely get rid of those cheaters who are the reason behind the public’s bad perception of spirituality in the current time.] Swāmi replied: It cannot be done in that way. That particular devotee of Shri Satya Sai Baba had taken the effort of coming to the true incarnation. Also, the devotee himself asked Shri Baba to grant him Baba’s...
