Satchidanand Swamiji----Human birth is the gateway to liberation...OUR TRUE BEING IS OUR DESTINATION, OUR GOAL, OUR HOME, OUR SELF..we must go back to our real home as naked as we started...

Satchidanand Swamiji--- before coming to ashram when I was sitting for meditation, concentrating on the light within , one day the light expanded so much that I was very very insignificant in that vast expansion. ...That light is our true being... This experience was a soothing factor and whenever  something unpleasant happened , I would switch over to my real being....

Swamiji says that whenever anything disturbed him from outside, he only had to switch over to his real being. Now what is it that disturbs us...It is only the ‘me and mine’

Because of various compulsions which our equipment is accustomed to , we are not able to be focused....

We have put on ourselves various garbs...preconceived notions, sense of insecurity, anxiety, worries, rights and wrongs, so many such things we have

We were carried by our mother without anything...after we came out, we cried when there was hunger or pain...slowly we were given comforts, we were taught the do s and don’t s ...we were taught the rights and wrongs

Pujya Swamiji says we must go back as we started....

Yagnavalkya asked Janaka how he saw...he said that it was from the light of sun, again Yagnavalkya asked how he saw at night , and the latter replied it was by the light of moon.... Now Yagnawalkya asked by what light he realised his existence in the amavasya night without lamp....This light is the light of awareness...

We need external activity , to discipline ourselves....but we should not stop with that. If we stop with that, we cannot go within....Swamiji too did all external discipline like getting up early morning, taking dip in the temple tank and chanting till day break for about 4 hours...but that had not yielded the needed result. So when he met Papa, he asked Papa to not push him to samsara but push him to paramartha...he had realised that the commitment to realise the goal was what was needed...

Swamiji did not believe in regimentation....that is very important point...we are stuck up because we try to obey 

We go on thinking, what is my mistake , I am sticking to this discipline, that discipline....
Papa says, “Be original...be creative and set free the infinite power that is within you...”

The path is to be trodden singularly...though we need a map in the beginning

For each one the path is different because the equipment is different

Why 

It is because the ratio of combination of the 3 gunas that is Satva, rajas and tamas are different in each one of us...

If one path could become a standard one then why were there so many Mahatmas.... each one is unique...

Each one had different approach, different path..

Beloved Papa -- Cut and dry rules producing human robot is not the way...
