I tell you. Go to Him in whatever attitude you like. If you are really after the Truth, He won't be annoyed by your questions, even if you ask one hundred and one. It may be the worst of questions. Don't be afraid. No reservations, and I hope that I will reply to the best I know. Don't feel reserved, you see. Tell me, like the daughter comes to the father, as the son comes to the father, as the brother comes to the brother. Where's the question of reservation? Not in me. Don't be ashamed. He'll explain to you, lovingly. You may even go to Him with criticism. He'll reply to them in a very loving way.

Who has stepped into the intellectual plane must have the whys and wherefores, he must understand. He should put in all questions, clarify always, because he won't be able to take up the way unless he's intellectually satisfied, has got some proof. So it's better always to clear your heart.

As I told you the other day, there was one learned man, another was an unlearned man. There were a hundred stairs to reach the top of the building. The unlearned man said, "All right, if you have to go up to see sun, go up," and he starts going up, you see. But the learned man says, "Well, first of all, give me any example, any evidence from anybody that I'll see the sun when I go up." Then he says, "Suppose my foot has slipped? Then what to do?" You see? He would like to understand. Then he puts in a day or two, goes fifty steps or forty steps, but he does not see any light. "It's all dark. No light." Sun is there. You'll see when you withdraw your attention from all sides, rise above outgoing faculties. Mind is still. Seat of the soul is at back of the eyes. Fix your attention just there, the place where the Shiv Netra, the third eye or single eye is. You'll see Light. If you're going up, you'll see Light.

So those who've got questions should simply let them loose, give me all questions, and those will be replied. Sometimes people write to me: "Where is the proof?." I tell them, "All right, go inside." One writes, "I want time to be all alone with You." "All right, I'll give you this. You come here, sit inside the room, and lock it up and keep the key with you and don't come out unless your questions are answered." This is what I tell them.

Questions are of the same nature, put in a different way, that's all. Unless you go up, you cannot see. When you're near the top of the house, then you'll see little glimpses of light. When you really go up, you see full Light. So it is better for those who have entered into the intellectual plane to be satisfied. All these things need to be explained; that such and such Master said such and such things, only for a little courage to take up the way. It appears to be correct to him, but he can not be satisfied unless he sees for himself.

It's always better to be open-minded; leave nothing rankling in your heart. There should be no reservation, no shame, to the worst of questions. No question should be left, you see. Should there be something not clear, there's darkness. Do you think darkness will leave the room by striking its colors or beating it? A little light is required. So if you think anything has not been given – you are most welcome to ask. I haven't said anything imposing or anything like a boss. I have placed before you common-sense talks for understanding. If (the questioner) understands, he'll change.
