- synopsis
- Reader of the questions: Ma Prem Maneesha.
- Question 1 from Vimal
- Beloved master, in your golden future, will there be a troupe of enlightened actors? Is it possible for a man who is enlightened to be an actor?
- Question 2 from Latifa
- Beloved master, I feel really confused. You just keep on telling me, in one way or the other, that I am a complete crackpot to be with om; but there is still something so strong in me that wants to stay in this relationship.
- If it brings me closer to enlightenment to be alone and without relationship, I am definitely not getting it. If it means that this relationship with om is coming between you and me, it hurts too much to even feel it.
- Is it that I want to be a perfect sannyasin? What is it that I am still not getting?
- Question 3 from Prem Seung
- Beloved master, I was born in South Korea. I left that country in l984, and took sannyas in 1985. When I was staying in Rajneeshpuram in 1985, the South Korean government arrested a lot of my friends and denounced them and me as communist revolutionaries. One of them was killed before the court date, and two of them were sentenced to death; the rest of them are all in jail now, and I have been suffering from this horrible calamity.
- Your lovers in South Korea try to make their country free from U.S. imperialism, and to search for the path of truth simultaneously.
- Is it possible to do this? -- to search for the path of truth and free one's own country from tyranny?
- Please comment for me and your lovers in Korea.
- Question 4 from Ma Prem Shunyo
- Beloved master, the more I experience for myself the total insanity of society, the more I feel that the only thing to do is escape and live in a cave. To meditate in the midst of madness severs all bridges that connect with mad people, and it seems impossible to play their games. And yet I "know" this is not what you are telling us.
- What is the root of my misunderstanding?
