PAPAJI - Who are you? (1992)

Overview

In this satsang from 6th November 1992, following his talk on the Seer and Self-Enquiry, Papaji addresses a vipassana meditator who wants to return to a state of no-mind. He tells her not to be affected by any events, ‘Whatever happens, never mind. If someone slaps you, never mind! If someone kisses you, never mind!’ He then asks a French woman who has written a beautiful poem to explain ‘the source of the unknown,’ the mystery beyond mystery. A man with a lot of doubts comes up and Papaji scolds him for not honouring his declaration of freedom, “Don’t speak unless you are worthy of it.” The last encounter is with a young man who asks Papaji whether it is ok to feel fear. Papaji gives a beautiful guidance about no difference between sleep state and dream state. When we wake up from this ‘reality’ we realise we are already free.
