Q: What happens to a shaft when people get dementia in old age?
A: I don't know this word. I don't know what happens to people when they get dementia in old age. Maybe if I see a patient I'll try to scan him consciously. I'll need to see a specimen. It is a new thought. First time you are putting this question. I'll try to sit with a person who is having this problem and try to scan him consciously and see what is happening in him. Then come and tell you.
Q: This morning when we were writing our thoughts some created positive emotions and some were negative, but I noticed that your commenting through out our writing and every time you spoke, it created a stillness regardless of the emotion the thoughts created.
A: See whenever I speak you are still, I keep on speaking just to make you still. That's what you experienced. When masters speak naturally you become still.
Q: You are talking a lot about marriage and joking about husbands and wives. Would you ever get married and have a family? After all you said at the age of 14 , 21, 28 lamas are allowed to marry, what about swamis?
A: Swami's can marry at any time, no problem. Actually Paramahamsas can marry at any time; I'm not technically a Swami. I am technically a Paramahamsa. Swami means somebody who is trained by an earlier master to sit in the same seat; like a successor and they have so many rules and all that. Paramahamsas are people who left their house at a young age and took this life to achieve enlightenment. They have not left for the sake of some status, to sit in some throne, or to be the head of some institution. They left out of their quest for enlightenment.
So Paramahamsas are no way bound by the rules and regulations of the Swamis; but then, let you be very clear, I am not going to marry. And that I am very clear and because I have seen many people and I have some more jokes. I don't want to tell, they're all caught up in a traffic jam in my throat.
