U.G.'s Question (1C)
"Is there anything like enlightenment?"
"Yes, there is."
"Are there levels to it? Does it consist of steps?"
"No - no levels are possible. It is all one thing - either you
are there or you are not there at all."
"This thing called enlightenment, can you give it
to me?"
Maharsi did not answer.
After a brief pause U.G. repeated the question.
"I am asking you whether you can give me whatever you have?"
Looking him in the eyes, Maharsi replied:
I can give it to you but can you take it!
