Question - Gurudev, just being in your presence is so amazing. Why do we need all these meditation practices? Is it necessary to be regular with it?

Gurudev Sri Sri - Yes, so that you have something to do and I have something to do. There are four levels : 

1. Sanidhya which means feeling the presence.

2. Samipya, feeling close to the Guru or to the Divine. The feeling of closeness has to come from your side. Nobody can make you feel close. It has to come from oneself.

3. Sarupya, being one with the form. Which means there is no difference between me and you.

4. Sayujya which means just dissolving in the Divine.
