1) Religion can make one as a saint. Saint is a good person who has contentment in his life.

When he comes to spirituality, he can become a sadhu who becomes contented himself when nothing is there. When he is peaceful with Nothing, he can enter into Chivality, where He becomes Nothing or Chivam, who goes beyond contentment, feeling that everything belongs to Him. 

Non contentment, contentment and beyond contentment, all are perceptions of different stages.

2) Good people are also available in religions. Good people only should be available in spirituality. Feeling of good and bad will be lost in Chivality.

3) Religion makes one Saint. Spirituality makes one Sadhu. Chivality makes one Chivam.

4) Saint has many positive qualities. 

Sadhu has only positive qualities. Chivam doesn't have any qualities.

5) A saint doesn't disturb others but stay away from disturbance. A sadhu never disturbs others but not get disturbed when others are disturbing. Chivam goes beyond disturbance and non disturbance.

6) Dear abhyasis,

We begin our journey from religion along with the concept of God as a protector. As a beginner, one needs protection. We need protection because we are all weak. This weakness is due to our negativity. 

Religion has to bear the negativity. When one comes to SPIRITUALITY, the concept of God changes and he doesn't require protection from God. The positivity in him gives the protection. This positivity takes him further into Chivality to know what is Reality or Chivam. Chivality begins its journey beyond God, the positivity. If you think that there's a God, you can't enter into Chivality.

7) Dear abhyasis,

Spiritual practice is to transform the human beings to become positive. Abhyasis who practice for years should have been definitely transformed a little. This transformation might have been observed and sometimes recognised by the family members. 

If the family members are still against  spirituality and practice, it's unfortunate. If the family is not allowing the abhyasis to participate in chivsanghs, it's advisable not to attend any Chivsangh, either on Sundays or Tuesdays.  Abhyasis should convince the family members that spirituality is not against the society and family. Spiritual practice is an individual choice and should not be with any compulsion. 

We don't want any abhyasis to attend Chivsangh without the knowledge and permission of their family members.

8) Dear abhyasis,

Spiritual practice is not to reduce the problems, it can reduce the anxiety, stress, fear and worries. You can observe the animals and birds. How much struggle is undergoing? But they have no fear, anxiety and stress. All these negative qualities are available only in human mind.

Regularly cleansing the mind can reduce the stress of handling situations. Remembering the Master always or atleast in the tough time can reduce the anxiety fear and stress.
