In short
- He speaks about heaviness of heart often, and gently.
- He tells people to keep chanting even when nothing is felt.
- He also sends people to doctors.
- He has never treated illness as a failure of faith.
Both at once
He speaks about a heavy heart often and gently. He tells people to keep chanting even when nothing is felt, because feeling is not the measure. And he sends people to doctors.
When you are ill, go to the doctor. Take the name alongside.
Feeling is not the measure
Depression often makes practice feel empty. In his teaching that does not mean it has failed: practice done without emotion still counts, and practice abandoned because of no emotion does not. The dry stretch is part of the road.
Do not stay alone with it
To devotees who feel alone he says the name is with them, and he also tells them, practically, to sit in satsang: company changes the mind faster than resolve does. Being with people is part of the answer, not a distraction from it.
Treatment comes first
Nothing here is a reason to stop treatment or delay seeing a professional. He has long-standing kidney illness himself and speaks about it openly. If you are in crisis, contact a doctor or a helpline in your country today.
Where this comes from
Everything on this page is drawn from what this site records of his public satsang on the questions page and the teachings page. It summarises his position; it does not quote him word for word.
This is a fan website, not the official site of Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj. The article summarises what he teaches in public satsang; it does not quote him. If something here is wrong, tell us and it is corrected the same week.
