- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: unknown.
- Question 1
- Bhagwan, what do you teach and what is your doctrine ?
- Question 2
- Is it not possible to have knowledge and experience both?
- Question 3
- But is it not possible that knowledge can be useful as subordinate to experience?
- Question 4
- You said that you are not teaching a doctrine and that knowledge can only be a vehicle to express the experience one has had. Is it not true that the experience itself will form a doctrine?
- Question 5
- I have followed what you have said. I have become convinced about the dangers of knowledge. But how can this intellectual understanding be transformed into an intuitive Void and an experience of bliss?
- Question 6
- But what is the difference between the conviction and the experience? And how can one transform his or her conviction into an experience?
- Question 7
- Bhagwan, to achieve that Void do you recommend any yogic practice or a certain way of living as a preparation?
- Question 8
- But how can one achieve this spontaneity?
- Question 9
- But how to stop the wishing attitude?
- Question 10
- What are you doing at this very moment?
- Question 11
- By creating an absurd situation do you mean that a person must be disturbed by some means? And what will be the result of it?
