Anil Kumar Questions and
Answers
INTRODUCTION
Questions and Comments Welcome
I have one important announcement to
make. Not the one that I usually make on the veranda! So many
friends, brothers and sisters, are approaching me with doubts,
seeking answers to their questions. I have been galloping for want
of time. The constraint of time is a big factor, and meeting with
you only once a week is another limiting factor.
Within the time limitations, without
any grudge over matters beyond our control, I thought of a media
method. Please pass along your questions on paper. We will pool
them. The questions that have already been answered will be
omitted. The questions posed for the first time will be answered.
In other words, we have to screen
all the questions. If it is a matter of repetition, we’ll be
wasting our time. Since all the information is already available
by way of transcriptions, audiocassettes and other ways besides,
let us not waste our time. I beg of you to co-operate. Gather your
questions on a paper and pass them on so that we can screen them.
We will avoid questions that have already been answered during our
sessions. That will maintain the time factor.
Secondly, your comments are also
most welcome. I would be failing in my duty if I did not take into
account your comments for improvement. Your comments are most
welcome. Negative comments don’t matter. Negative comments will
also help for a constructive process and progressive development.
I welcome your comments also.
If it is a comment, put that as the
heading. Then give the comment. If it is a question, put the
question down and underline it. I will appreciate you mentioning
your name and the place where you belong. The questions need not
be anonymous.
I can also tell you that the
questions you ask will help me to collect information from the Sai
literature. I do not believe in answering as per the stretch of my
imagination; I don’t believe in that. I call that nonsense! If you
interpret in your own way, there will be another man who will
interpret in his own way. Let it not be like that.
I will try to gather answers from
the Sai literature and try to answer the questions. Those that I
fail to answer, I will pray to Bhagavan to provide a satisfactory
answer at an appropriate time. The only thing that we have to do
is pray to our Lord that He will give me a time to ask these
questions. This is not a thing to be taken for granted. I eagerly
look forward to a day when I can ask these questions on your
behalf and solicit answers at an appropriate time. From this week
onward, that is our job.
Not to Put Personal Questions
I
shall not break my promise to answer some of the questions
that I received, some of the questions that were sent to me. A
formal request has been made to our friends not to ask
personal questions. Questions which are of general use,
questions which are of common interest, questions which would
help us to grow spiritually are welcome, but not personal
questions.
I received some personal
questions: “We want to go to Canada. Will Swami permit us or
not? Please find out from Him.” (Laughter) Nobody can
find this out for you from Swami!
Then somebody said, “We want to
settle in Australia, but my wife says ‘no’. My son says ‘yes’.
What does Swami want me to do? Find out from Bhagavan.” (Laughter)
We don’t need to find out from Bhagavan! All of you need to
meet and settle the matter between yourselves and Swami.
I request you again not
to ask personal questions. I have no solution to my own
personal problems. (Laughter) How can I give you a
solution to your problems? Impossible! Here everyone has a
head-load of problems. Who am I to give a solution to you? I
am not competent enough to give you any solution to your
problems and I would not take the Divine risk of bringing
these problems to Swami’s notice. That would be the last and
final day. Well, that I don’t want to happen. (Laughter)
Kindly bear with me and do not ask such questions. No personal
questions!
