Part I — Questions and answers
- Question: When people are ill, is it better for them to struggle very hard with the disease, or to relax and try to surrender, in order to let their healing energy work?
- Question: If it is not God's Will for someone to be healed, is it wrong to pray to God intensely for the person to be healed?
- Question: Guru, if you have an ailment, is it valid to try to pretend that you do not even have it?
- Question: Guru, how did you cure your sister of tuberculosis?
- Question: Did you work through her subtle nerves to heal her, or is it something that you cannot explain in words?
- Question: Some people seem to go to a doctor for a check-up every month or so, even though they do not have any problem, and some people — like me — do not believe in that. I do not feel I have a disease, but what if it becomes too late for me when I find out?
- Question: Does our death always come at God's Hour, or can it be caused by a hostile force interfering with God's Will?
- Question: Are people ever attacked by divine forces?
- Question: Guru, at one stage I was having a lot of physical and mental problems, and you very kindly said that to fix them you were going to contact my soul and ask what the problem was. I had always assumed that, if there were any problems, the soul would always let you know, or warn you or at least inform you.
- Question: Guru, twice on this trip I saw you do something that I had never seen you do before. When you were talking to me, you had your right eye totally shut and your left eye wide open. There was no strain on your face. It was like an absolutely normal, controlled expression. I was just wondering what it meant.
- Question: Guru, this is totally a curiosity-question. The other day you said that ceaseless prayer and meditation are needed to stop the world from sinking. There are certain prophecies about what will happen in 2012. The Mayan calendar says some things, and the Egyptian calendar says some things. Different ancient civilisations all predicted that a certain cataclysm would take place in 2012. Is there any truth to these predictions?
- Question: Guru, you have told us that you create soul-birds when you draw. What are the soul's qualities of your abstract paintings, the ones you did before the soul-birds were started? Are they universes, or are they souls, individual souls?
- Question: It seems as though seekers of the hoary past were more advanced than seekers today. Is that true?
- Question: Is there any particular quality by which people would know that we are your disciples, from your point of view?
- Question: Guru, I think I got an inner message from you about how to treat my knee pain. Is it true?
- Question: Guru, how did coconut water get that honour? Did you really like it as a child, or is it some quality of the coconut?
- Question: Guru, you keep trying different doctors, so you must have faith that eventually you will find the right one.
- Question: Is there a limited number of great souls? It seems that the great souls keep coming back in different lifetimes.
- Question: Is it still the same great souls who do great things in so many different fields?
- Question: Guru, do they have the potential to be great right from the start? Is it that they are already high souls, and they do not have to evolve as much?
- Question: Guru, is it possible within a lifetime to change our consciousness permanently? Or will it only be a slow process, in which our good qualities gradually increase?
- Question: Guru, yesterday I went out of the hotel early to see the sunrise. After a few minutes I saw you riding in your car, and I was so excited, because I thought, "This is the sun for my soul." Then the outer sun came up, so that was the sun for my body. Could you please say something about the sun?
- Question: We see on the video that, when you meditate after you give your morning prayers in your room, your facial expressions change quite dramatically at times. Could you say something about that?
- Question: Guru, when the Supreme comes to visit earth as an Avatar and suffers so much, does anything in the Supreme's Plan change as a result of that direct experience of earth's suffering?
- Question: Guru, is there a connection between disciples who have the same soul's name? Or is it just that their souls have the same type of quality?
- Question: Guru, sometimes when I am folding my hands or trying to be devotional, I wonder if I am being insincere.
- Question: At our Centre meetings, sometimes people are not on time, or they are restless, or they leave in the middle of the meditation. But then these same people get angry at the person leading the meditation if he tries to maintain some discipline.
- Question: I do not always set a very good example, either, Guru.
- Question: Guru, in the song you composed today, what does lajuk mean?
- Question: Guru, can you tell us what you were repeating all those thousands of times?
- Question: Guru, is there any relationship between inner vision and outer vision?
