Papa-----Discovery within alone can bring us real freedom and joy...



Om Sri Ram jai Ram jai jai Ram


Guru says God is within, Guru is within. Gurupoornima is a day when we reverentially bow before the outer Guru, because but for that form, we would not know, He is within...



Initially our mind is completely covered with outer form. 


Papa---Guru is the all-pervading Spirit...


Mataji---It is Guru who is responsible for everything even for our lapses and short comings


Swamiji--- Guru is everything and beyond everything..He is the entire manifestation...


Chidananda Swamiji---Rededicating ourselves to the ideal would be the real Gurudakshina..The Guru only wants the pupil to be shining centre of fiery aspiration...


Yatishwarananda---Try to be in tune with the inner Guru. Both the Guru and the pupil must try to be as impersonal as possible...


Ramana---from the exterior Guru pushes the mind to turn inward. From interior he pulls it inward to experience eternal peace


Papa--worship and adoration may help us but they hinder us as well if we cling to them. Discovery within alone can bring us real freedom and joy...



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


Initially during inward journey, we fail and we get carried over by our own thoughts. Slowly we will be able to be successful. Papa's approach was a blend of non-dualism and devotion. He considered God as the impersonal person. 


Our bhakti is short lived. Papa's bhakti included all forms and not merely  a particular form...



Om Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram
