Part III
- Question: How do you meditate?
- Question: Can we feel the experience that you have offered our souls?
- Question: If I want to do japa, should I chant your name, or AUM or Supreme?
- Question: You said the Invocation is our mantra and our realisation. If I want to do japa by singing the Invocation, how many repetitions should I do?
- Question: Guru, I sometimes say the Gayatri Mantra even though I am your disciple. Am I doing the right thing?
- Question: When I am trying to offer gratitude while I am meditating and I am not feeling sincere, should I keep trying or should I stop?
- Question: To attain joy, should we always meditate the same way as we do in the Centre?
Part IV
- Question: How can I become your disciple?
- Question: If someone wants to become your disciple, is it necessary for you to see the person's picture or actually see the person in the physical?
- Question: If somebody were to be awakened in the middle of the night and hear a clear voice say, "Come to me. I am your Teacher," how would he interpret it? Is this a kind of initiation?
- Question: What is the essential quality which a seeker needs in order to enter into your path?
- Question: I find it very difficult to be a student and your disciple at the same time. Sometimes I become very tense over my studies.
- Question: My friend is not a disciple. She has begun to meditate on your picture and she feels great fear.
- Question: You use the word "seeker". When does the seeker cease seeking and become a disciple?
- Question: I showed my grandmother your picture, but she is getting very old and senile, and I don't know if she received anything.
- Question: I believe very much in the emancipation of religion, but I am Roman Catholic and I just wonder about serving two Masters. Can I also become your disciple?
- Question: Before I was a disciple I was studying Tarot and the Kabbalah. Does it conflict with our path if I continue to do so?
- Question: If someone is always away from the spiritual Centre, what is the best way to keep up with the other disciples?
- Question: Since entering the spiritual life, I feel I don't want to spend time with my old friends. But I feel sad about not seeing them so often.
