- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Antar Devopama
- Beloved master, for the past few weeks, I have been able to sit and allow my mind to be quiet -- sometimes for only a second, but sometimes for longer. Since this has been happening, I have experienced many beautiful spaces, as if this quietness somehow invites the universe in. Inside these glimpses there is no doubt, no 'me' to doubt. Coming out, I doubt. I do not know whether this doubt comes from my mind or simply from an inner knowledge that there is yet so much more.
- Master, can I trust that I am moving into meditation, or is my mind cunning enough to make me believe that I am?
- Question 2 from Anand Asimo
- Beloved master, to be a disciple has always meant to me to follow you, to be under your guidance, as if not to have a self of my own. I was never aware of the fact that being a disciple is to be as you are, and to allow your presence, your eyes, and your actions to put light on my being present, on my actions, on my ability to see clearly what is happening inside.
- Is there another word to describe this relationship with you? Disciple doesn't seem appropriate.
- Question 3 from Ma Puja Melissa
- Beloved master, the silences between your words are becoming more and more nourishing to me. Often when a word comes after a gap of silence, I am surprised and I wonder how it is that, with your being in such silence, you are able to speak so articulately -- it seems like it would require such tremendous effort.
- Would you please say something about the relationship between enlightenment and language?
