1. What does it mean to inquire? Is inquiry itself a process of thought?
2. You have said, ‘Let’s think together.’ Does it mean collective thinking? If it is not, how can two people of different backgrounds think together?
3. What is the nature of evil? Do you think it is possible to live in the present-day world without compromising with evil in some form or another?
4. For living beyond the shadow of time we must discard psychological memory. Yet it is necessary to have memory of our skills for daily living. The two types of memory are the contents of the same brain, and each has close association with the other. How is it possible then to retain the essential memory and discard the psychological?
5. In the West, children are brought up to be separate, independent individuals, and this makes them less affectionate. In the East, they are brought up to share everything with the family. They are more affectionate, but this makes them more dependent, more attached. Which of these is a healthier, more natural way of bringing up a child?
6. You warn us that the practice of a technique of meditation makes the mind dull and mechanical, but it appears to me that your teaching of listening and seeing and learning also involves struggle in the mind to drop its activities. May I request you to enlighten me on this question?
7. You often say thought is a material process. What does this mean?
8. You urge people to look inward and ask fundamental questions. Don’t you think yoga, meditation, and so on prepare one’s mind to look within?
9. What is the basis for your getting pessimistic about the growth of computers?
