don't know what to do and how to exist! People spend time and money on all these, but why can't you spend some time and find out if you exist? Is this the way? What is the meaning of existence? This is a very serious problem in Europe, this one of existence. They even have existentialists! But what is it, how do I exist? Reality means that if you attain to that Reality, you exist. To exist you must begin with the practice of truth, satya. Satya-it is sat, makes for sat. 'Ya' the 'ya' shows that it is something to be achieved. This is the greatness of Panini.
Therefore if you want to exist, you must speak the truth. Always speak the truth. You may ask 'what of those situations when I cannot speak the truth?' You must. Pray to the Master and you will find that such situations where you cannot speak the truth are avoided. You are not thrust into such situations. One who speaks the truth exists. Anything that passes away does not exist.

You must choose God, as Arjuna did, for your Master.

Why can't you try it? Accept Him at any point. The acceptance of God is primal in Yoga. No less a person than God Himself will do. In fact I feel that God cannot relegate this function of a Guru to anyone else. Artha, Kama, Dharma, these are all right for others. Not Realization. You see here
