..Swamiji---from morning till evening, whatever or whomever I saw, i identified with God...my effort was to maintain this Consciousness always....Success was not much since while talking there used to be breaks..WHEN I LOOK AT A PERSON, I SEE HIM OR HER AS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS..AND THE BODY A TINY SPEC FLOATING IN THAT CONSCIOUSNESS...WHEN SOMEONE SPEAKS I KNOW THE SOUND COMES FROM CONSCIOUSNESS ONLY.. Though the body walks, the power is of Pure Consciousness only. Consciousness is not affected by the actions done...There is no ego anywhere...But each form takes the responsibilities on itself and thus gets bound...The body is active only because the Consciousness is activating the body...When I see anybody ,  I see them as the centre of the universe since the Divine has centre everywhere and circumference nowhere. 

Swamiji never spoke about the abstract... 

Swamiji---human birth is the gateway to liberation...we can get happiness by certain conditions...the turning point in our life to return home is when we realise that there is a state of happiness which does not depend on any condition..we meet a wise man who tells us how to return to our True Home...Through that process, we get our mind purified....We go back as naked as we started from there. ...Then we are qualified to enter our home...we have gathered a lot of dirt..every thought, word , action , whether good or bad, leaves impressions...incidents happened long back comes back with full force...All this dirt has to be removed...When there is too much dirt, it takes long to go back home...When we have made the mind pure, vasanas are all destroyed..this is the only way to reach the Goal...The world we see now is full of diversity...we must try to see the unifying force which is the substratum to this universe...That substratum is God...

 Swamiji-----When we ask a saint, who are you , he says, I am the entire universe...He lives a normal life...he has achieved the goal..his love flows towards all alike...our Master wrote a book, world is God...others see the world as world...Saints see the world as God... 

Swamiji—It is He conducting business, doing different jobs in different places..Our effort to see Him in all constantly...you should feel every object you touch is God...every object you see is God

We found Swamiji doing everything with a touch of love...we thought that it was a discipline..No...He was seeing God in everything......manana had helped him... 

Swamiji---real surrender is possible when we see God everywhere...without seeing God everywhere how can we say everything is happening by God’s will...whatever path you follow, the progress depends on the intensity... 

Swamiji has never spoken about the abstract ...
we remember once he was requested to take complete rest in the form of Mouna...We used to see him come for Satsang and revel in himself with eyes closed..Though inward journey was regularly going on , ourtwardly widening the love circle was also going on .... 

Swamiji---when you are doing sadhana, you must not hurt anybody’s feelings...when you want God, nothing else should matter you...Pray to God to guide you in your sadhana...Others may be childishly acting on envy or jealousy...we have to accept the world as it is with all its vagaries...The Lord himself is playing all this...Deep within He is all Peace.....give up authority or assertion and try to solve the problem...dont send away any one with a bitter heart...REAL LOVE IS BORN OF UNIVERSAL VISION..

 Swamiji----A stage comes in sadhana when we feel like taking the leap into the sea of infinity breaking the small circle...

 Once Papa offered to grant liberation to whoever was ready ....nobody came forward...The topic of Papa’s offer came up and one devotee asked Swamiji why he did go forward....Papa immediately said, “Satchidanand has already taken the leap”.... 

Swamiji----I was concentrating on the light of Atman suddenly the light expanded to infinity making me see the body as a tiny dot in the infinity....This experience was a soothing factor and carried me through all the vicissitudes of life...When something not nice happened, I had only to switch over to my Real Being when nothing would affect me...
 INTENSE INWARD JOURNEY IS THE MESSAGE... We have to pray to Swamiji in our heart to bless us with the inward journey...we are simply carried away by the outer actions....He was very clear because of the inward journey...during inward journey our enquiry has impersonal as the basis... 

The basis of his outer life ---calm serene unruffled self –effaced loving ---- was becasue of the intense inward journey or manana within... 


Mother Hamilton---you could not help but be drawn towards him ( Swami Satchidananda ) like a magnet

David Yogacharya---He ( Swami Satchidananda) was my second Mother...
