The questions to which Papaji responds in this interview by Gerdi:

\ For me, the Indian reality is, to a large extent, one of poor people and a whole lot of suffering. I am very much touched when I read City of Joy, by Dominique Lapierre. Is there anything to be done about this, or do you have to just look at it as a natural state?

 

\ How to know compassion? Does it come from your inner child?

 

\ What is the true, proper life, is it in seeking happiness in worldly affairs or rather, in seeking God?

 

\ How is it possible to speak to God?

 

\ Can I reach enlightment in this life?
