Part III — Questions and answers
- Question: Can you say that love is the only law in the whole universe?
- Question: We just lost our baby, and we were questioning ourselves why the baby, in the span of one week, came to earth and then left.
- Question: One lady, when she meditates on your transcendental picture, sees it grow bigger, then smaller, change hues and take on a physical presence.
- Question: She says she sees a violet colour a lot.
- Question: I used to go to a resting place where I can talk to myself and where I have been in contact with two people, a man and a woman. I have never seen their faces; I don't know them. But I can talk to them, although they cannot talk to me. When I ask them questions, they answer me with signs, or by doing something with the body. But since I started to meditate, I can't go to this place any more.
- Question: Are the inner bodies composed of spiritual energy? I feel within me several bodies, and sometimes they clash in their will.
- Question: What can you do to get them unified?
- Question: I feel a strange vibration in my neck. First there is joy, and then this vibration. What is that?
- Question: What can I do to have that experience more?
- Question: I feel that I don't know how to receive prasad properly.
- Question: I am not sure that I know how to feel humble.
- Question: I would like to ask you how you experience God when you meditate?
- Question: Is it possible to reach a form of realisation from a very straight background? It is hard to keep trying to stay with it. Is it possible, although it is difficult?
- Question: Why is there some pain when the third eye starts to open?
- Question: I have been meditating on and off for a couple of years, but a few months ago I did some Hatha Yoga and shortly afterwards I experienced pain in the third eye area. I don't want it, but at the same time I don't want to get rid of it. It helps me become conscious of everything I am doing, yet I feel confused about it. I was wondering if you could suggest anything.
- Question: During meditation I find I have feelings of stress in the area of the solar plexus — sometimes a spasm or contraction. Should I continue meditating?
- Question: Some Masters teach that you should hold your spine erect. Is that always necessary?
- Question: Guru, I noticed that some of your disciples are married, and others are single and celibate. I was wondering if you could comment on how a person decides whether to do his sadhana in partnership or alone?
- Question: I would like to lead a spiritual life, and my husband would, too. But he doesn't know which path to follow, and this is causing a lot of confusion as far as he is concerned. How can we know which path we should follow, and who our Guru is?
- Question: Why don't people have as much awareness of their soul while living as they do between one lifetime and another?
- Question: If you feel you have a sincere desire, how do you deal with the parts or aspects of yourself that you feel may not be sincere?
- Question: I had the feeling last week that you were thinking about me, and I saw you smiling, and found myself smiling like you. Is that possible?
- Question: I want to be in the spiritual life only.
- Question: Does intuition come about from having previous incarnations?
- Question: You have told us that the planet Saturn has a powerful relationship with us. Is there also a relationship between us and other planets, or are they just beautiful manifestations of the Supreme's multiplicity?
- Question: What causes clothing to be uncomfortable? Sometimes I can't stand the feel of clothing against my skin.
- Question: Guru, is it possible to be in your consciousness but not be conscious or aware that we are in your consciousness? If so, is it better to be consciously in your consciousness?
- Question: How can we know our mission in the spiritual life?
- Question: Guru, a lady had an experience in which you made the sign of the cross on her forehead. You baptised and spoke to her daughter, then rose up. Was this a real experience from you?
