The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 11: Questions and Answers, Question 1, 'SO-AHAM -- I AM THAT,' OR 'AHAM BRAHMASMI -- I AM THE BRAHMAN,' OR 'ANAL-HAK': ALL THESE STATEMENTS SEEM TO BE THAT OF A GYANI (ONE WHO IS ON THE PATH OF KNOWLEDGE).

Upanishads, Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad. The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 11: Questions and Answers, Question 2, YOU SAID THAT LIFE EXISTS IN POLAR OPPOSITES -- BIRTH AND DEATH, GOOD AND EVIL, PEACE AND VIOLENCE, KINDNESS AND CRUELTY, BEAUTY AND UGLINESS. IT SEEMS THAT THESE POLAR OPPOSITES ARE INEVITABLE AND ARE BOUND TO BE THERE. THEN WHAT DO WE STRIVE FOR THROUGH RELIGION? THEN WHAT IS MEANT BY SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION? SAINTS AND PROPHETS TRY TO CREATE A SPIRITUAL SOCIETY AND CULTURE. DOES IT NOT MEAN THAT THEY WANT TO CHANGE THE NATURAL STATE OF THINGS?

Upanishads, Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad. The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 13: Questions and Answers, Question 2, ONE DAY YOU SAID THAT LIFE IS AN INTERRELATIONSHIP -- THAT EVERYTHING IS RELATED.

WILL YOU KINDLY EXPLAIN THE CONTRADICTION? SECONDLY, IN SPITE OF THIS CONTRADICTION, THE TOTAL GROWTH OF MAN LIES IN INDIVIDUAL EFFORTS AS WELL AS SOCIAL.

Upanishads, Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad. The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 15: Questions and Answers, Question 2, TOTAL CONTENTMENT IS A CONSEQUENCE OF DESIRELESSNESS, MOMENT TO MOMENT LIVING AND TOTAL FLOWERING OF THE CONSCIOUSNESS. THIS IS THE STATE OF AN ENLIGHTENED ONE. BUT A SPIRITUAL SEEKER WHO IS JUST A SEED, A POSSIBILITY TO GROW INTO THE DIVINE, IS BOUND TO PASS THROUGH SPIRITUAL ANGUISH, SPIRITUAL THIRST AND THE UNEASINESS OF THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL. THUS, A SEEKER IS BOUND TO BE IN A CONSTANT INNER DISCONTENTMENT UNLESS ENLIGHTENMENT HAPPENS. HOW CAN A SEEKER COPE WITH THE FACT OF HIS INNER DISCONTENTMENT IN VIEW OF THE PRINCIPLE OF TOTAL CONTENTMENT? at energyenhancement.org

The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 17: Questions and Answers, Question 2, LAST NIGHT YOU SAID THAT THE WEST DEVELOPED REASON, INTELLECT AND PHILOSOPHY, WHEREAS THE EAST DEVELOPED ART, MYSTICISM AND RELIGION. ONCE YOU SAID THAT THE HUMAN MIND DEVELOPS IN THREE PHASES -- IGNORANCE, KNOWLEDGE AND THE TRANSCENDENCE OF KNOWLEDGE THAT IS WISDOM.

Upanishads, Talks on the Atma Pooja Upanishad. The Ultimate Alchemy, Vol. 2, Chapter 18: Questions and Answers, Question 2, OF THE TWO PATHS -- THAT IS, BHAKTI AND YOGA -- YOGA IS ARDUOUS; IT REQUIRES A GREAT PENANCE. FOR A WORLDLY MAN, IT IS A DIFFICULT TASK. THOSE WHO ATTAINED THE BRAHMAN OR MOKSHA THROUGH YOGA HAD RENOUNCED THE WORLD. THERE ARE, ON THE OTHER HAND, INSTANCES LIKE THAT OF NARSI MEHTA OR MEERABAI WHICH SHOW THAT THROUGH BHAKTI EVEN A COMMON MAN CAN ATTAIN GYANA -- SUPREME KNOWLEDGE. WILL IT NOT, THEREFORE, BE CORRECT FOR THE COMMON MAN TO CHOOSE ONLY THE PATH OF BHAKTI? at energyenhancement.org
