ORIGINAL TRANSCRIPT / Исходная расшифровка

[15:13–15:30] Guruji, in [our parampara/lineage?], are there some masters who achieved a high level but were not famous? [Reply/question:] Famous? [The disciple clarifies; names and wording unclear.]

[15:30–16:00] [Question:] There are many masters? [Response:] Not many masters. [Question:] Not many? [Response:] Masters are never many. [Brief exchange about continuing practice.] [A guru?] is selected by God; not everybody can declare himself. [Exact opening term uncertain.]

[16:00–16:30] I think so, at least five disciples of [Lahiri Mahasaya?]. [Names and the following question are unclear.] He was a disciple of [unclear].

[16:30–17:00] [Exchange about Lahiri Mahasaya; a name or family relationship is unclear.] He had five disciples [context partly unclear]. [Question mentioning Babaji.] No, no, he had disciples who achieved that as well. That is what I am saying: he had five disciples who achieved that. [The precise achievement is not fully specified in the recovered wording.]

[17:00–17:30] [Several short replies and names are unclear.] One and only. [More unclear words.] Maybe we should talk about this in the interview.

[17:30–18:00] [A question concerning an unnamed person and achievement is not reliably transcribed. It is not reconstructed or attributed to a named individual.]

[18:00–18:30] [Opening question about foreign seekers is partly unclear.] No, no. They say that if you want to search for illumination, for [wisdom?], you can go to any place on earth.

[18:30–19:00] [Reference to a yogi/guru or monk and a particular discipline; opening wording unclear.] I do not go anywhere. But for a seeker, you have to go. [Question:] We are not from this tradition. [Response:] No, no, forget about tradition. [A distinction involving a particular discipline/role follows; exact wording unclear.] So I cannot go anywhere.

[19:00–19:30] [A disciple asks whether a person can achieve results/enlightenment without belonging to a particular tradition or role; exact wording unclear.] I have no idea. I can only say from my own point of view. I do not know [the remainder is unclear].

[19:30–19:59] [Question about an Indian/non-Indian practitioner attaining samadhi; the distinction is unclear.] [Brief answer unclear.] Maybe some Chinese have. Surely some Chinese, because [name unclear] was there. And the tradition of [Tao?] started there more than two thousand years ago. It is a very different approach. [Brief exchange.] Many techniques are very similar.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД

[15:13–15:30] Гуруджи, в [нашей парампаре/линии?] есть мастера, которые достигли высокого уровня, но не были известны? [Ответ/переспрос:] Известны? [Ученик уточняет; имена и слова неясны.]

[15:30–16:00] [Вопрос:] Мастеров много? [Ответ:] Немного. [Вопрос:] Немного? [Ответ:] Мастеров никогда не бывает много. [Короткий обмен репликами о продолжении практики.] [Гуру?] избирается Богом; не каждый может сам объявить себя им. [Термин в начале неясен.]

[16:00–16:30] Думаю, да — по меньшей мере пять учеников [Лахири Махасаи?]. [Имена и следующий вопрос неясны.] Он был учеником [неясно].

[16:30–17:00] [Разговор о Лахири Махасае; имя или родственная связь неясны.] У него было пять учеников [контекст частично неясен]. [Вопрос с упоминанием Бабаджи.] Нет, нет, у него тоже были ученики, которые достигли этого. Я именно это и говорю: пять учеников достигли этого. [Точное достижение не полностью определено в распознанном тексте.]

[17:00–17:30] [Несколько коротких ответов и имён неясны.] Один-единственный. [Ещё неясные слова.] Может быть, стоит поговорить об этом в интервью.

[17:30–18:00] [Вопрос о неназванном человеке и достижении надёжно не расшифрован. Он не восстановлен по догадке и не приписан конкретному человеку.]

[18:00–18:30] [Начальный вопрос об иностранных искателях частично неясен.] Нет, нет. Говорят, что если хочешь искать просветление, [мудрость?], можно отправиться в любое место на земле.

[18:30–19:00] [Упоминаются йог/гуру или монах и определённая дисциплина; начало неясно.] Я никуда не езжу. Но искателю нужно идти. [Вопрос:] Мы не из этой традиции. [Ответ:] Нет, нет, забудьте о традиции. [Далее проводится различие, связанное с определённой дисциплиной/ролью; точные слова неясны.] Поэтому я не могу никуда идти.

[19:00–19:30] [Ученик спрашивает, можно ли достичь результата/просветления, не принадлежа к определённой традиции или роли; точные слова неясны.] Я не знаю. Я могу говорить только со своей точки зрения. Я не знаю [окончание неясно].

[19:30–19:59] [Вопрос об индийском/неиндийском практикующем, достигшем самадхи; различие неясно.] [Короткий ответ неразборчив.] Возможно, кто-то из китайцев. Наверняка кто-то из китайцев, потому что там был [имя неясно]. И традиция [Дао?] началась там более двух тысяч лет назад. Это совсем другой подход. [Короткий обмен репликами.] Многие техники очень похожи.
