Satsang Bhavan
During the 1980’s and 90’s, thousands of devotees flocked to Lucknow to be with Papaji.
The focal point of Satsang Bhavan is Papaji’s large satsang hall where devotees would come daily to be in his energy and to hear his words of stillness.
-
“When there are no ripples in the lake
you can see your face.” -
“Remove all becoming, you are Being.”
-
“You are the unchangeable Awareness in which
all activity takes place.” -
“Your nature is silence and it is not attainable.
It always Is.” -
“You are all lions, so go your own way.
Do not follow any path.Lions do not follow
each other like sheep.” -
“Walking, talking, sleeping, dreaming,
or awakening each day:always keep in touch with it.” -
“If you get rid of all that you have
learned till now,heard till now, read till now, seen till now,
what’s left? You will return to your own Self.” -
“Look within, there is no difference between yourself,
Self and Guru.You are always Free.There is no teacher,
there is no student, there is no teaching.” -
“Stillness is the greatest achievement one can have in life.”
-
“The most holy association is to Be as you are.
T his is Freedom.” -
“What is the existence of a bubble in the ocean?”
-
“Waste no time seeking. Forget what you search for.”
-
“Before notions and creations you exist.”
-
“You are what remains when the concept of ‘I,’ mind, and past disappear.”
-
“Thoughts are impediments to seeing your own face.
Don’t give rise to any thought and discover who you are.” -
“One is always free and one is always alone. The mind is only dreaming.”
-
“Look within this light, with this light
you’ll see your eternal face.
Your own beauty you will see for the first time.” -
“Just be quiet. This quiet does not involve talking or not talking.
-
It does not involve any doing whatsoever.
Just let the mind fall into silence. This is enough.” -
“Whatever comes, let it come, what stays let stay,
what goes let go. Always keep quiet, and always adore Self.
This is the essence of living skilfully in the world appearance.” -
“Don’t touch anything that appears because it
will soon disappear.Look within to where there is no name or form
and you will know who you are: Freedom.”
