Qn: All I can see, the world is a school of Yoga.
Ans: In what way the common people are Yogis. Periods of Yoga and Bhoga alternate.
Qn: Buddha says complete reversal and transformation is enlightenment.
Ans: First hearing (Shravana), remembering (Manana) -one who hears becomes Yogi.
Qn: The desire to live is tremendous.
Ans: Still greater is freedom from urge to live.
Qn: Is not personality required for experience?
Ans: It is an obstacle. Even the Bhogi need not hanker after the experience tasted.
Qn: Natural (Nisarga) Yoga reminds me of the primal yoga- (Adhi Yoga) in Rig-Veda.
Ans: A life lived thoughtfully in full awareness is by itself NISARGA YOGA.
Qn: Sharada Devi (wife of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa) decried effort. Wait till you fully ripe, mellow and sweet.
Ans: How right She was. Momentary experience is not Realization. Humility and silence are essential for seeker (Sadhaka).
Qn: Ramana Maharishi imposed 20 years of silence before teaching.
Ans: Discipline of living in awareness must go on. Marriage of consciousness (Bride) to Life (Bridegroom) goes on. Consciousness and Being meet in Bliss (Ananda).
Qn: Buddha said consciousness needs life to grow.
Ans: Pure experience does not bind. In pure consciousness, there is light. For warmth, contact is needed.
Qn: I want to live a holy life, a good life. What to do?
Ans: Go home, take charge of father's business. Marry the girl who is waiting for you. Hide your virtue. Live silently. Be loyal, simple and humble. "I am" is the great Reminder Maha-Mantra. Enquire ceaselessly. It is not what you live, but how you live that matters.
Qn: Does a realized man ever think he is realized?
Ans: He is neither ordinary nor extraordinary. Being aware and affectionate, he gives abundantly. I am without any distinction, inner, outer, mine and yours, good and bad.
What the world is 'I am'. What 'I am' the world is.
Qn: Each dreams his own dream! Even dreams have a foundation.
Ans: In memory. Even then what is remembered is but another dream.
Memory of the false cannot but give rise to the false. Nothing wrong with memory. What is false is its content.
Remember facts, not opinions.
Qn: What is a fact?
Ans: What is perceived in pure awareness, unaffected by desire and fear is fact.
