notes
synopsis
Reader of the questions: unidentified man (reader 2).
Question 1
Beloved master, do I betray my real self, and only myself, by not letting go?
Question 2
Beloved master, if all the world's religions have been doing things now in the hope of reward later -- in the hereafter for the Christians -- how can we avoid falling into the same trap, because of habit, of meditating now towards enlightenment later, and in that waiting for it to happen, missing now?
Question 3
Beloved master, a friend is going to visit Russia in a couple of weeks. Do you have a message for your sannyasins over there?
Question 4
Edited excerpt: 3min 59sec, beginning of question 4 **
Beloved master, Gurdjieff's last words to his disciples were, "Bravo, America."
I have heard you appreciated his insight about America, but right now the way American bureaucracy and politicians are behaving with you and with the commune, it seems the words of Gurdjieff are no longer relevant.
Question 5
Beloved master, today we got rid of gachchhamis. Thank you very much. I want to suggest we drop also the words "temple" and "worship." They are apparently an invention of our high priestess, Sheela.
Question 6
Beloved master, the commune in Sweden has now closed as all the other small communes have already done. There are now only a few big ones left in three countries. Is it time to start new, fresh communes now? Or shall the centralization to the big communes continue? Please comment.
Question 7
Beloved master, is there any reason that you tell us the same things day after day?
