Introductory:

Do you practice faith or evidentiary spirituality? In any case, what is the underlying philosophy of your personal purpose
of life?

The existence of faith, impedes analysis and hence, materialistic scientific progress. Please comment.

Have the monks in the upper ranks of the order seen God? Paraphrasing Swami Ramakrishna It is only after Gods
express commission that one can become a Guru.

The Self & The Mind?
What is the Self? Does it exist after death? What is the nature of the Self?

What is the nature of the mind? How can any spiritual experience be classified as one created by the mind, an illusion,
while another being classified as a spiritual experience? Is enlightenment just a mental illusion?

Millions of people follow religion, their underlying motivation being a better life, or afterlife. Is it true that only after
ones want of a better life is dealt with, can he transcend spiritually? Is spirituality a pre-historic anti-depressant?

Be the master of your mind. Who is the one who is conquering the mind? Is not he a thought process, a concept of
the mind?

Enlightenment & Theology

Have you found anything inside you? The concept of the soul has been accepted by a few religions, while it has been
discarded by others. The contradictions are insurmountable. What are your findings?

Is there anything called enlightenment? Have you attained it OR have you met anyone who has attained it?

While Buddhism accommodates the idea of Gods, it discards them as beings not to be paid attention to. Hinduism on
the other hand, claims them to be the goal of spirituality itself. What is the right path?

Do you have something as simple as Zen to attain satori (enlightenment) in this lifetime?

What is your opinion of the 112 methods given in the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra?

Brahman is unfathomable please explain.

What is turiya, the fourth state?

Miscellaneous
Suffering is inevitable with existence, most of it, coming from the human condition. In that sense, altruism is useless.
Human existence is a burden on the planet, and its other inhabitants. Then, is not morality a relative concept?

I am fearful of death. What should I do?

Why does the Bhagwad Gita emphasize on a single God, instill the fear of punishment & offer materialistic rewards in
return of faith?

Can I attain enlightenment in this life? How?

Ive seen my previous generation doing their daily guru mantra japa. They seem to have not attained enlightenment.
What do I take from that?
