synopsis
Interview with Ma Yoga Pratima.
CD-ROM on this chapter: Ma Yoga Pratima, Rajneeshpuram, Oregon.
Question 1
Edited excerpt: 9min 40sec, beginning of question 1 **
Bhagwan, you have often said that no improvement is needed; no goal is there to be achieved. And you have also spoken about how, in the buddhafield, a person can be helped by those who are further along the path who can help those who are a few steps behind them. Are there different stages of spiritual growth? And if so, can you talk to us about them, and how people in these different stages can be helpful to each other?
Question 2
Your emphasis has always been that every human being has the birthright to become enlightened, that it is nothing special. However, not many people claim this birthright, or are even interested in it. Why not? Is there some ingredient, some quality which makes some people more interested in the inquiry than others?
Question 3
Often you have spoken about your rebellious childhood and how it gave you such freedom, how you insisted on discovering your own individuality. How did you know the need to rebel at this early age? What about those people who didn't have the courage to rebel and who had a hampered childhood? Is a rebellious childhood necessary for enlightenment?
Question 4
You have said that your sannyasins live individual lives in freedom. Doesn't everyone live an individual life? What is the difference that makes a person a sannyasin? Is it meditation?
