Papa------ orange clothes proved to be an obstacle in attaining the all comprehensive spiritual perfection spoken in Gita (on Karmayoga) in which one mingles with all in a state of oneness which  is free from any sense of otherness

*******

Papa wore white clothes after few years

*****

Papa---If a sadhaka , after taking sanyas puts on airs and expects respect from others, then there is every chance of abusing the orange robe and it causes more bondage 

********

Papa-----Sanyas is dedication of our entire being to God... Receiving sanyas from someone is sometimes observed all through with the growing ego sense at the base of it...

********

If I am clear about the goal to be scaled, God will direct us from within to take to appropriate course of action...

********

Even objects will be handled gently , and with love , when we are serious on the path....

********

While chanting there must be the awareness that He is within and He is making me chant to get close to Him

*********

Behind all activities, bring God-dimension

******

Initially, we hold on to what suits my personality , disregarding the co-creation. The Name reminds us that it is wrong

*****

Actually every activity is spiritual activity. Over the time, we have labelled certain actions as spiritual .  ....Papa gives us the clue by saying God divested him of the gerrua cloth...He had said very clearly that God made him a sanyasi...He was very clear that every change happened because God willed it...
