Question 2: Can formless beings experience desire without contact as a requisite? Question 3: How long time can there be between Sotapatti Magga (path) and Sotapatti phala (fruit)? Question 4: What can a person do to shorten this gap? Question 5: Why is there this time gap between magga and phala? Why do some gain Path and Fruit at the same time? Question 6: What exactly is this Sotapanna Phala (fruit)? Is it a state of Jhanic bliss, or is it something different like Nibbanic peace? Does one experience it during meditation, or while walking, standing? How long does the experience of Phala fruit last? Question 7: Are there any stories in Tipitaka that describes attaining Sotapatti phala (fruit)? Question 8: Have you ever met a person or monk, who has attained some magic abhinnas? Did you witness such super-human powers? Can you share with us some interesting stories?
