प्रश्न पूछना सीखने का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है। यह सोच को एक विशिष्ट रूपरेखा देता है और अप्रत्याशित रहस्यों को खोलता है। चीज़ें जैसी हैं, वैसी कैसे-क्यों हैं, उन तथ्यों का पता लगाने से आत्मज्ञान मिलता है। जबकि सन्देह को अपने तक रखना सच्चाई से दूर, और जीवन, जो मूल्यवान अवसर दे रही है उनसे वंचित कर सकता है। लेकिन किस प्रकार के प्रश्न हमें पूछने चाहिए? साधू की बानी पुस्तक में, प्रसिद्ध साधु नित्यानन्द चरण दास ने युवाओं-वृद्धों द्वारा अक्सर पूछे गए – कर्म, धर्म बनाम अध्यात्म, मन, ईश्वर, भाग्य, जीवन का उद्देश्य, कष्ट, कर्मकांड, युद्ध आदि विषयों पर – सत्तर से अधिक प्रश्नों के उत्तर दिए। ये उत्तर अत्यधिक महत्वपूर्ण हैं जो सेल्फ़-डिस्कवरी और सेल्फ़-रियलाइज़ेशन में हमारी मदद के लिए हैं। -
Asking questions is an important part of learning as it provides a unique framework for thinking and opens doors to unexpected revelations for us. Digging into how or why things are the way they are, paves the way for enlightenment. On the contrary, keeping the doubts to ourselves can keep us from truth, thus depriving us from valuable opportunities life has to offer. As human beings, we must enquire and keep doing so. But what kind of enquiries are we supposed to make? In Ask the Monk, celebrated monk Nityanand Charan Das lucidly answers over seventy frequently asked questions-by young and the old alike-on topics such as karma, religion versus spirituality, mind, God, destiny, purpose of life, suffering, rituals, religion, wars and so on. These answers that are extremely crucial to help you, the reader, embark on the journey of self-discovery and self-realization. -
