-With reverential salutations, approach the wise. Serve them ind question them repeatedly. They will impart to you the saving Truth says the Gita.
Transmission of spiritual truths by way of questions and answers is an ancient tradition. The Upanishads, the Epics, the Puranas, the Agamas, all have recourse to this. Great Acharyas like Sri Sankara adopt this method in their treatises. The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna and the conversations of the Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Vivekananda and other disciples of the Master like Swami Brahmananda and Swami Shivananda, present us luminous answers to the earnest doubts of aspirants.
Swami Tapasyananda, a Vice-President of Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission, was President of Sri Ramakrishna Math, Madras during 1971-91. A profound scholar, deep thinker and prolific writer, he was a very diligent worker in the orchard of the Lord. He was never happier than when an individual approached him for the clarification of a spiritual doubt. There was nothing heavy or pontifical about his way of answering questions.
