1. (To PTG):
Q. Sir, these people (TL, RL, etc.) are always quoting the Gita and so on, and putting you so many questions. As for myself, I do not know Sanskrit nor I am learned. When shall I attain the Thing, without this knowledge?
A. Scholarship is not necessary. No book is necessary; only necessities are – a good student and a good teacher.
2. (To MB):
Q. Sir I am an uneducated man. But everybody coming here are very well educated. How can I, a mere illiterate, can get God or hope for Realization
and so on?
A. Well, no need of learning too much. In fact they, learned people, may be at disadvantage, go astray, while you may do better and quicker! All you
have to do is Live RL, that is all! Mahapandit Mahaamoorkh Bhi Hotaa!
3. No need of learning many things. If a few principles of RL only are practiced they are sufficient.
4. Scholarship not necessary, but useful; but whatever we speak or write should be impressive.
5. (To KD):
Q. Is formal schooling and reading great books are necessary for GodRealization?
A. No, not necessary. In fact if you read more, you produce many doubts. It is like going into a wilderness where you may be lost easily! The most important qualifications are – Faith and God Love (Sraddha, Bhakti),
following Master’s teachings faithfully and start walking on the path of RL, never ever straying elsewhere.
6. (To rl): Scholarship may not help in this line; on the contrary, it may prove
obstructive. While the ordinary practitioner of RL may advance smoothly the pundit may be trailing far behind!
