Does spirituality enable one to predict the future? (Clairvoyance) || (2018)

Questioner: Acharya Ji, does spirituality enable one to predict the future?

Acharya Prashant: In this issue, there is no jewel, and no hidden diamond that carries any value. Doctors predict reasonably well that this fellow has two or three months to live. In that, there is an application of intellect, not the promise of freedom.

And if you are watching a thousand people die over the course of your career, a lot many of them, fifty or hundred, you will be able to reasonably, accurately predict how many days or weeks they have left with them.

All this is - numbers, statistics, chance.

None of this is in the ambit of Spirituality. None of this knowledge will help you in Liberation.

This is sheer curiosity.

When you say that your grandfather was able to accurately predict that he would die ten days hence, you should also go and collect more representative data. Let me collect it right now.

Beliefs

Do we have love for God?

36min258reads242

True God is the Truth right now in your heart. That is true godliness, true bhagavatta. The problem is that people want to avoid the real living Truth in their heart. Therefore, they come up with stories that place an imaginary God somewhere up in the skies. God is wonderful, but the stories and the imaginations about God are all very disrespectful towards God. When there is love for God, God is held very close to the chest, and that God is called Truth. That God is the very purpose of philosophy and the very origin.

Are Vastu and Kundali Controlling Your Life Decisions?

7min163reads12

Questioning pseudo-science and superstition is the first step toward genuine freedom. Beliefs such as *Vastu, Kundli,* and *Muhurat* should not be accepted merely because they have been followed traditionally. Fear and attachment to privileges often prevent people from questioning authority. A truth-seeker must be willing to challenge age, status, and authority. Human progress has come through curiosity, inquiry, experimentation, and reason—not through blind obedience.

Changing Beliefs, Unchanging Believer

9min101reads175

Desires and beliefs may keep changing, but the deeper tendency to believe, think, choose, and seek fulfilment often remains unchanged. Real transformation begins by examining this constant inner pattern rather than changing superficial preferences. Instead of seeking conclusions about greed or desire, honestly observe recurring behavior and support the truth you already recognize. Expressing that truth can dissolve false identities, relationships, and habits, creating space for genuine change.
