Children who undergo upanayanam to begin the life of brahmachari , go first to parents and beg . They will not say Amma, give food. They say 'bhavati bhiksham dehi'. Self-effacement rehearsal.

Papa at the age of 38 or 39, was asked to go for begging from door to door. The sadhu who told Papa to beg was looked upon as God himself...

After begging he hands over all the money to the sadhu.

Papa felt that God willed that they must take up the trip to Auribindo Ashram. Even after walking 20 miles, and not being able to meet the saint did not cause any agitation in Papa...whereas the sadhu was deeply affected not only because of that but also because of his encounter with the policeman

Papa considered submission to the will of God as one's job. So there was no disappointment at any point.

When ever we confront situations that are tough, if we  bring in the dimension of God's will, we will be able to maintain equanimity.

As of now , we are having  thoughts of surrender only during the Satsang. ...We must bring this to mind again and again. Repeated dwelling will have an impact on us.

Papa met Ramana Maharshi before which he had an intense desire to meet a saint...

-+++++++

Papa was beyond the concepts of failure and success. He was not affected when he was denyed the darshan of Sri  Aurobindo. All the same , at the individual level, the desire was fulfilled by his meeting Ramana Maharshi..

-++++++++++

Passionless look of tenderness--- love without attachment.. Ramana Maharshi was a yogi of a highest order. When we look at someone after a long time, we look with passionful tenderness. Ramana is aware of the transitory nature of everything...

Mere assertion of Truth is not experience --- Papa

Papa says that the first spiritual touch was received from Gandhiji in Mangalore..
