The questions to which Papaji responds in this interview by Ber Pakuma:

\ Who are you?

\ What is the essence of your teaching or teachings?

\ Your disciples talk about you as being a realized being? What is a realized being?

\ Is there any difference between the state of realization and the state of enlightenment?

\ Back in the west, people either believe in God or not? Is there any God? If so, who or what is he or it?

\ Is there any progress or practice before realization?

\ You say, "No books are necessary. No teaching is necessary."
Yet, you yourself have done many many hours of practice in your own life. Why, then, do you give this advice to do nothing if no practice is necessary?

\ Isn't mind just another created suggestion of life? Why does it need to be dropped in order to be happy?
