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?
