What is the difference between faith and trust? During the recent Real Freedom 2025 online class, i was asked this question and it made me pause. On the one hand trust and faith seem intertwined, and on the other, they elicit different responses in me. Trust makes me feel grounded, while faith asks me to take a leap, sometimes into the unknown. Both are often accompanied by a combination...
By Eddie Appoo Eddie, began to write this in May 2024 and somehow, he never completed it. As I (Ranjana) prepare for the Heart of Understanding 8 Day LT (LiberatingTouch) Class Beginning on Easter Sunday 2025, it feels timely to complete it to the best of my ability. I have made very few changes to this document honouring Eddie’s voice and style of speaking. For those of you that...
God God is love and Nature is the physical manifestation of God. When you speak to God within you, Nature will respond to you physically. You have to have faith and Trust to believe in that communication. People are also part of Nature. You can start your communication with God via Nature. When people cut trees and mine the earth, they are destroying Nature because of their desires. It...
In the last blog, I mentioned that in order to get closer to God, we must have devotion. There are many ways to create the devotion that you need. Singing and Mantras One of the easiest ways is to sing devotional songs to the Lord. You know that it is working, when you feel joy while singing. Joy signifies the presence of the Lord. When you feel joy, you...
What is the purpose of life? Do you just want to have a family, have sex, have children, eat, defecate and sleep? All animals do this. You are not an animal, but an intelligent human being. There is a purpose in life. Are you going to while away your life gathering power, wealth, and assets? Life must mean more then this mundane existence? Have you thought, why you exist...
My Guru, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, who gave me Self Realisation and taught me everything about acceptance, letting go and forgiveness What is acceptance? I believe that acceptance is a complete trust in whatever is being given to you. Taking it in your stride as it is your journey on Earth. There are no coincidences, everything happens for a reason. The world is a classroom where you are taught...
Today, I want to talk about the global anger and rage plaguing this planet. This is the result of the consequences for the corrupt and evil actions taken by the majority of the inhabitants of this beautiful planet. Nature has provided all the boons for mankind, air, water food etcetera to have a joyful life. In return humanity in its greed for profits have plundered the earth with their...
The last few weeks, I have been observing public behaviour. I noticed complete unawareness and selfishness. I witness and don’t get involved. Over the years, my wife and I have noticed that people lack self-responsibility. They blame other for their predicament. In this world we are all brothers and sisters, part of the ONE. If we don’t take care of each other, there will be chaos in this world....
In this world in which we live, where our minds have been tainted by the traumas and desires, experienced through many lives. We have reached the ‘dark night of the soul’. In Sanskrit, it is called the ‘Kali Yuga’ or the age of darkness. This is a very difficult period for most of us, as we grope in the darkness confused and without awareness. Now is the time we...
In a previous blog, I spoke of death. I also stated that we are not the body. We are Atma (soul) and part of God. The reason I have come back to this subject is because of a recent experience. My mother-in-law whom most of us called Ma passed away a month ago. She attained Moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). Never be afraid of death....
