Papa's approach is devotional

****"""""

Papa------- bhakti is of two kinds. One is elaborate external worship . This has some self seeking. The other is nishkama bhakti which does not seek anything. Here even if something is offered by God, it is not accepted . Because everything is transitory. The only prayer is to become aware of His presence. 

*****************

Papa-----Worldly attainment do not count. If God finds you guileless and sincere , you become  His. 

*************

Love circle keeps expanding when we are sincere in our sadhana....

*****

Ananya Bhakti --- One pointed adoration of the Lord keeps the devotee occupied in the remembrance of the Lord. He talks, laughs and weeps in the remembrance of God. His one passion is to see God and become one with God...

*******

We don't renounce anything, it gets dropped off. We didn't renounce our teddybear . It got dropped off

***********

Papa was not told by anybody to give up food or comforts... When the mind got filled with God, priorities changed

*****

Papa had 3 tier Sadhana

Satsang 
Solitude
Satwic Diet

*******



Chanting of the Name goes along with dwelling on God remembrance
  

*********

Papa----A devotee sees His Lord everywhere..He swims in the infinite ocean of bliss..

********

Papa----hanging on to external prop is a hindrance because it localises the centre of interest and denies the flexibility for expansion

Papa----Ananya bhakti ... Exclusive devotion makes one remember God all the 24 hours . Let your heart pine for God, the way a miser thinks of money...A devotee's mind automatically dwells on God

********

Mysterious Power is everything in the cosmos

*********
During our off hours, during our pause moments we must remember God....

*************

Many people find it difficult to remember God because the mind is on so many things of the world....

***********

Papa----BEFORE RAMDAS BECAME A DEVOTEE, FORGETFULNESS OF GOD DID NOT CREATE ANY SORROW . BUT AFTER GOD BECAME HIS GOAL, FORGETFULNESS OF GOD CREATED AGONY

******** 

Mataji------ Papa 's compositions are not simple because his vision encompassed the whole universe...

********

Bhaktas are very loving to others

They are always peaceful

They always remember God

They have patience

they do not gets perplexed or agitated

**********

A man given to anger and  also worships God is tamasic type devotee

A man given to craving for fame and name , and worships God, is rajasic type devotee

A man who has disinterested spirit and desirelessness and worships God is satvic type devotee

********

Ramathirtha-----The highest type of  love transcends the notion of lover and the beloved. This is true  also in the case of lower type of love

*******

Swami Chidananda---- Be as much like God as possible within your capacity... Emulate the ideal
