As long as there is a seeker, the sought after will always be away from me..If the seeker is aware of this, he will become aware of the Source and there will be no more seeking ...

: Papa---when we sit silently, we must be aware that the God we seek is within us...Then continue the mental chanting until the thoughts become still. If the thoughts do not easily become still, chant the Name with self-surrender.......Then witness consciousness develops...This  is nothing but the awareness of your radiant and immortal Self. In fact this awareness itself is God-realisation.

: Initially feeling that I am a seeker is ok...But it must lead to stillness.. Otherwise we will be moving away from the sought-after or the goal..Papa says ultimately the Name must lead us to stillness

: Swami Satchidanandji---- Papa assured us all that we will reach the goal by chanting the Name constantly.   . ..... From experience, we know that we become happy when we love ..Yet we are not ready to love others..Love and serve everybody. ..Papa said the best service was to take Ramnam..So let us take Ramnam constantly..



 Constant chanting was done by Papa when he was 38....We are not able to...So what we do...We do whatever we do with a touch of love...So there will be constant remembrance though not constant chanting...

: When there was akhand Ramnam in early 90's , the whole night, we used to chant. Next day we had to get back to seva ..The body will be complaining but we try as far as possible to do seva with remembrance....

 We must feel one with God but at the same time feel the sweetness of the bond with Him... Sweetness is possible only when there is duality

: Rama was serious about getting the Truth and told that he would go on fast unto death if he was not going to be convinced

: During bhajan Papa would lose himself in a state of Self-forgetfulness....In his case reading was not mere reading but it was deep deep contemplation...

God is not an entity...You have to remember such a God... Life is the expression of God...Papa used to consider the Sound as God...

How does the chanting go on...

: Papa--God we aspire is within us and we are chanting His Name. Slowly we realize that there is no difference between us and Him...After becoming conscious of Him within us, we become conscious of Him without us too...

: Papa has told about the devotee who found no joy in repeating ...It is because he felt he is doing it...Papa says such a chanting even if done for 100 years , is of no use...

Papa---our outer activity must be compatible with inner aspiration...

Impurity is me and mine ...And that should go ...He will put us in severe test to see if we grumble and fret...

As we progress, love circle increases because me and mine starts getting reduced
