"Everybody wants to cling. Cling to teaching, preaching, teachers, preachers, some books, some statements. You have to be empty of everything. Free from all concepts. Then you are a different man, and you will know that you have never been born."
This satsang from the 3rd of June 94 was filmed during a power outage with devotees fanning Papaji as Lucknow temperature would be over 40/45 degrees Celcius. It includes the following interactions:
Papaji addresses JOICE and makes jokes about the word “phatichar” which means useless person: "All are tricks of the mind. Keep quiet and don’t make effort. Find where thought arises from, where the senses arise from, where 'I' rises from. Un-smelt flower has to be offered to the beloved. The face of the beloved is so beautiful that even the senses cannot be transcended to describe the word beauty."
RAMNATH: "I do not know what is happening to me, and also I do not know what is not happening to me. But I talk to see the point, but then I don't talk to not to see the no-point. I don't see the point, and I don't see any point anyway. Can I exist like this?" Papaji makes jokes whether he has been instigated by an old disciple called Kevin and tells him that he's also a 'phatichar'.
NIRMALA: "Falling more and more in love with you."
The video ends with songs offerings.
