This amazing satsang from the 23rd of February 1993 included the following:
ARANYU sings a song by Kabir. Papaji: "Unless you have experience, you cannot translate the sayings of saints. He advises not to read unauthorised books and translates."
VICTORIA: "I see who I am and then get caught in the mind again and suffering." Papaji: "This suffering is not you, it belongs to someone else. Keep quiet and return to eternal abode."
ANONYMOUS: poem. "I am is now." Papaji: "After now is not the end. From here something has to start."
SENEHI: "It’s time to expose myself." Papaji: "If you are happy with your old habits carry on. Unless you get a good kick at your back no one can give up old habits. No need to carry them. They are buried in graveyard. Satsang is a very different area. There are no graveyard here."
CINDY: new name: MOHINI. Papaji: "The purpose of satsang is to tell you to keep quiet and all auspiciousness will kiss your feet. Papaji explains about her name= attraction/creation from the elements. Mohini sprang up from churning the ocean. Mt Meru was the churning rod. All jivas have attraction otherwise this world would not rein."
YOGINI: "Why enlighten people experience reverence from nature?" Papaji: "With doubts you came, again if you leave with doubts, what was the purpose to come here. Analogy of restaurant, price in satsang is 1DM (doubt in mind)." Collective laughter. Papaji laughs strongly.
And older Indian lady comes up and expresses her devotion to Papaji.
A Young girl called SAGE from Seattle asks for a new name and Papaji gives her the name Kumari.
A woman writes a letter about arrogance and Papaji asks her to sing a song praising her love for arrogance. "There is no difference between between arrogance and shanti. Same thing.
Yes, peace and arrogance, no difference. Why should there be any difference? When you love anything, you can love your arrogance, you can love your peace, you can love your god, you can love yourself, you can love your freedom, you can love your arrogance."
Someone writes "I am willing to surrender, now, today, in your presence, in front of you, to meet my Self." Papaji: "If you are willing, why all that fuss about? If you are willing, instantly you will see the meeting of your Self, instantly. Why willing? Willing still is postponement.The river is coming to join the ocean and stays away from the ocean, says, "I am willing to discharge unto you. May I come?"
Does the river say so? What is the impediment between you and your Self? Where is the wall that stood in, between you? Simply, you have to cut off all relations. For one second don't look at them. Look within. You are not to make any effort. You've not to decide any things. And not even you have to think about anything. You just keep quiet for one second and see how it is, what it is, where it is."
Papaji leaves and comes back to read a letter by KARTAR, "Is there a difference between dropping the ego?" PAPAJI: "Ego is a ghost. It doesn't exist. Simply you say ego and it is there. And if you say it is not there, it is not there."
