43:02 –Q4 – Can you please explain the difference between ‘Samadhi’ and ‘Kaivalya’?
44:06 – Q5 – Often, when I meditate it feels like there is a little fire inside and by the end of the meditation there is a burning sensation inside. What should I do?
46:18 – Q6 – When I sit down to meditate my focus automatically goes to the Ajna chakra (between the eyebrows). While I try to keep my focus on the heart chakra it always moves back to the ajna chakra. I find that I’m more peaceful when I focus on the heart chakra but I’m unable to sustain my attention on it. What do I do?
46:58 - Q7 – When I sit to meditate many thoughts come in the mind? What are thoughts? Where do they come from?

01:08:00 – Q13 - You mentioned about being tranquil and seeking Joy and you also mentioned that it happens rarely. So a part of me is questioning, "then why even bother?"
01:08:46 – Q14 – I believe that some violent actions can be taken in a a state of tranquillity but my friends tell me I am contradicting myself. I don’t know how to defend my argument….
