These questions I noticed while reading about the "SRI MAD BHAGVAD GEETA". These questions were asked by 'YAKSHA'- The owner of a pond in the forest where Pandavas reached there and felt thirsty. On attempting to drink w/o seeking permission, they became unconscious one by one. In the last, Yudhister went there and replied the questions. After hearing the answers "Yaksha" allowed them to regain their consciousness and drink the water from pond. I have not tried to read the answers of Yudhister but have replied them according to my understanding. You may do that. May be you know a little more...HAPPY READING!!
Question No. 1:How and why the sun rises and sets
in the skies? What surrounds and rotates around the Sun? Why we see the sun set?
What is the true nature of the Sun and where is the sun established in us?
The
rotation of mother earth does this for us to add new shades of life with
telling importance of time in life. The
quest for self, moves around the sun. The limited vision makes the sunsets in
the horizons. The true nature of sun is to bring daily new challenges with
providing wisdom through answers to us. The sun is established in the center of
our energy zone.
Question No. 2: What instills divinity and
faith in humans? How a true man deals with the quality of virtuosity in day
to-day life? What is the human like quality of a sage? What can make a non-virtuous
person from a sage?
The
knowledge and his unquestioned surrender before the god have created divinity
and ‘Tez’ in human. To accept the truth w/o condition is quality of a virtuous
man. Celebrating joy is human like quality. Creating confusion and superstition
is non- virtuous quality.
Question No. 3: What instills divinity in
warrior? What is his quality of virtuosity? What is the human like quality of a
warrior? What is his conduct akin to a non-virtuous person?
The
forgiveness is divinity in warrior. Donating all the earned and
struggling/standing for others is his virtuosity. Pride and cry are human
quality of warrior. Grabbing and deceit is non- virtuous conduct of a warrior.
Question No. 4 : What are the thing like a ‘AAHUTI’
in the performance of ‘Yaghya’? Who can be the performer during Yaghya? Who accepts
the offerings from Yaghya? What SIN even a Yaghya cannot escape?
The faith
and surrender are like “AAHUTI” in yaghya. A dutiful, obedient, loyal disciple
can be performer in yaghya. The mother earth and limitless sky accept the
offerings of yaghya. The deceit full behaviour with a child, handicap, weak and
old is unforgivable.
Question No. 5: What is heavier than heaviest,
higher than highest, faster than the storm and more numerous than straws?
The dead
body of a son on his father’s shoulder/lap is heavier than heaviest, The joy/
happiness in sad mind is higher than highest, The emotions are faster than storm
and the fear is more numerous than straw.
Question No. 6: Who is the friend of a traveler?
Who is the friend of one who is ill and one who is dying?
The path
is the friend of traveler. The medicines and good diet is the friend of sick.
The last breathes are the friend of dying.
Question No. 7: What is that which, when
renounced, makes one lovable? What is that which is renounced makes happy and
wealthy?
The
neutrality in actions of life makes lovable. The desires when renounced make
one happy and wealthy.
Question No. 8: What enemy is invincible? What
is an incurable disease? What sort of man are noble and ignoble?
The hatred
is invincible enemy. The jealousy is incurable disease. A forgiving man is
noble and back stabber is ignoble.
Question No. 9: Who is truly happy? What is
the greatest wonder in battle? What is the true path? And what is the great
news?
A man who can
sleeps w/o thinking ill about others is truly happy. Calmness in battle is
greatest wonder. A path which leads and supports/helps its walkers is true
path. I have spoken with god is great news.

The holy books are absolute. To absorb even half of the meaning of the verses and conclusions in it, we have to understand it in its original, say - Gita in Sanskrit, Bible in Suriyani, Quraan in Arabic and so on.. As we all know, it is not easy to initiate an original question. Such questions can be asked by the person who knows already. Aksha already knew the answer when he put them before Yudhishtira and he also knew only Yudhishtira knew the answers, that is why the leader of Pandavas was held back while others were lead to the pond first.. The pond in my opinion was the pond of the divine knowledge not of water... I would try to answer those questions but it would take time for me...

OK...as long as everyone keeps this in the fore of their thoughts...this struggle is not about Spirituality which has helped us all so much, but about Freedom...♥
