- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Sw Anand Arun ? and a woman.
- Question 1
- Beloved master, Buddha said, "Appa deepo bhava." At the same time his disciples were saying, "Buddham sharanam gachchhami." Is there any sequence in it?
- Question 2
- Beloved master, I am afraid and I have many fears. In my heart, in myself, I feel always frightened, and I often don't feel good about myself. Also I feel out of tune with nature, with existence. I need to understand in what ways these elements of fear, being out of tune with nature, and a lack of self-respect are connected? How can I jump out of this cycle?
- Question 3
- Beloved master, my love for you, my respect for you... The purpose of my very existence has changed and widened since I met you. You allowed me to accept myself and see my inner beauty.
- Since I met you I started daring to love, laugh, and dance again. You opened my eyes to beauty, to the poetry of life. I feel younger, almost childlike, amazed by the beauty which permeates everything -- a young pagan roving with pleasure, drinking the juice, enjoying every drop of it.
- Is it deeply immoral?
