- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Indivar
- Beloved master, I bow my head to your lotus feet. For years I have loved stories of Gurdjieff and Zen masters who hit their disciples so hard that they get it.
- The other night you struck your scalpel sharp -- no anesthetic -- removing a cancer that's been there for lives. It hurt, but the patient feels healthier and even longs with a passion to expose more and more. Part of me says, "No, this is just greed and exhibitionism." Is there a right way to expose oneself to a master?
- Question 2 from Sw Dhyan Om
- Beloved master, please expose me. Is this what Zarathustra calls "the cruel honesty"? Is sincerity a high value in life? Beloved master, did I get the joke? Can you give me the right number to phone? Do I need to be sent to Goa, or can you and this beautiful commune forgive me, so I can start afresh?
- Question 3 from Abhay Mehta
-
- Dear friend, are dacoits and Vikings rebels? If so, are they born that way or made, turned into rebels? Which half of the definition do they fulfill, the negative side or the positive one?
- Question 4 from Prem Ratna
- Beloved master, after scribbling and scratching, I attempt to ask a question on what understanding is, but only find myself caught in my mind. How is it that we know and have names for feelings, emotions, moods and mind spaces, and how is it that when attempting to phrase a question, everything falls short?
- What is understanding? Are mind and understanding helpful to a rebellious spirit? Can the mind and the heart really work together?
