- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Sw Anand Rupen
- Beloved master, what is the difference between the rebel and the enlightened one?
- Is it possible to be a real rebel without being enlightened?
- Question 2 from Sw Anand Nivedano
- Beloved master, existence showers me so much -- to the point of bringing me here to your doorsteps. It doesn't make sense that someone like me deserves such blessings, for which I am deeply grateful. Only your compassionate heart is able to still receive me here. Oh man of men! Much of what I've done I dare not say aloud, and the rest has been the trivia of ignorance. Now the past must slip out here, in your presence; even though the mind is wary of the outcome.
- Most beloved friend, I don't know anything at all, and I would like to apologize to you, and anyone in the commune whom I may have taken for granted, or advantage of. And I ask you, master, what do you see in me that I don't see?
- Question 3 from Sw Dhyan Om
- Beloved master, please, a little help. Just a juicy joke for this coconut palm coming from Goa.
- Question 4 from Sw Devaprem
- Beloved master, working as a doctor, I was always in search of truthful methods, which were either logical, when they claimed to be scientific, or simply stated facts, which worked in a truthful way. I was always very forthright in challenging anything that seemed to be a lie, or simply stupid. I was amazed to find how much ignorance there was even in the medical profession, and enjoyed exposing this. The other night, when you said that between two people of the same profession there is always competition, I felt these words enter my heart like a sword. Is what I thought to be rebellion simply competition and arrogance?
