I WOULD LIKE TO BE VERY PRECISE AND GO TO THE POINT. (There follows a long irrelevant preamble to his first question, and to all his following questions!) TELL ME AS PRECISELY AND CONCISELY AS POSSIBLE THE ESSENCE OF YOUR TEACHINGS, IF IT HAS CHANGED FROM 1970 WHEN I FIRST INTERVIEWED YOU.
ANSWER:* The first thing, you have to remember to be precise if you want me to be precise. This is unfair.
Q:* IT IS NOT MY INTENTION AT ALL TO BE UNFAIR.
A:* No. Then it will not be my intention, too. So just remember it. Never again be imprecise. Just be precise and to the point.

A:* I understand... a nervousness when starts speaking, that I understand.
Q:* I ALSO WANT TO SAY THAT I HAVE COME HERE NOT SO MUCH FIRST AS A JOURNALIST BUT AS A COUNTRYMAN, AS AN ADMIRER, AS A WELL-WISHER WHO HAS READ A LOT OF YOUR BOOKS.
A:* I know, and I can see in your eyes love, immense respect.
One thing, everything has changed since your first interview. To me life is a permanent change; only change is unchanging, everything else changes. If you are alive you change, if you are dead, of course you cannot change. The moment you stop changing you have died. Many people die near about thirty years of their age; then they may live fifty years more, but that is posthumous life. I will live to the very last breath. I will go on changing. I will go on growing. There is no limit to it. There may be a limit to the sky, but there is no limit to the consciousness.

But only that which you have experienced has to be trusted; everything else has to be doubted. Just as other religions have their foundation in belief, I have my foundation in doubt. My foundation is exactly what the foundation science has: doubt until you find something indubitable (inaudible).
Science moves outwards; I move inwards. This inward movement I call meditation. You have to take three simple steps for this inward movement, and
