Devotee---- it is difficult to consider on one side inward journey and the outcome of inward journey that is serenity etc on the other side.. . Inward journey is frightening whereas the outcome of inward journey, that is serenity, peace, extension  is uplifting... 

**********

For sadhana, inward journey is a must. In the case of advanced sadhakas, they resort to silence and solitude. We have to withdraw ourselves from the field of preoccupation. Each one must find time to withdraw oneself from the field of activities. We are trying to connect ourselves with the higher power. Without inward journey, we will be floating on the surface. A certain amount of withdrawal from the field is necessary to make inward journey fruitful.

*********

Each time there is loss of connection with the Divine, we must know that we have not handed ourselves over to Him completely. Once we hand over ourselves completely, there will no more be "touch and go business". Until such time when we have handed over ourselves completely, we have to put "self effort". We have to pray to remain connected

Deepavali---Papa is fond of mentioning light , love and bliss. It is awareness or consciousness because of which we are aware of our existence even in pitch darkness

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

Devotee----- Slowly feeling of  disappointment and feeling of insult is going away, as we are dwelling on God more and more

*********

When we start on this spiritual line, we must go inward, inward, inward. Mataji used to tell that reading of in quest of God, for 11 times ensures our developing interest on the nirguna aspect of God

*********

How can nirguna be explained. ...The more we develop closeness to the nirguna aspect of God, the more we take issues lightly. Papa walked many miles to Pondicherry but was denied the entry inside the building. There was no sorrow in Papa...
