1) Can we practice while still having social and human experiences?

Question

“Don’t do what I say; experiment.” Now that is an appealing program: disciples are treated as individuals capable of judgment, rather than as nobodies. Certainly, but that is just it: my girlfriend wants a child. Can we experiment with that?

Master Kosen’s answer

You don’t have a child to try a little experiment. You have a child because you love each other and want to give that love concrete form by bringing life into the world through it.
