In the spring of 1993 Papaji and David Godman sat in the beautiful botanical garden in Lucknow, where Papaji lovingly answered a wide variety of questions.
His answers are sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, but always profound and direct.
The questions to which Papaji replies to are:.
. Why is what you offer not called a teaching?
. Are you a guru?
. Is there a power, or grace, in your presence that helps people recognise the Self?
. Are there any qualifications for enlightenment?
. If enlightenment is so easy, why do so few succeed?
. Is it necessary to have a Master or a Guru?
. Are ecstasy and bliss states of mind?
With English subtitles.

Right now 2022 there is no available Satguru in a human body. Many healers who have integrated the Satgurus presence. . Yet ...Papajis Grandfather Guru and Ramana Maharshis Guru is here. Arunachala is in a physical form in Tiruvanamalai in Tamil Nadu India. Go there for a little and tpur work is done.

Many teachets calling themselves Guru... Satgurus. Etc. All talented businessmen with agendas brilliant speakers. But all their talk is borrowed from the true authentic Satguru. Great that you are on the search for authentic. You will know when you are in Its presence. Trust only in yourSelf.

His comment about laughter certainly needs qualification. There is laughter stemming from nervousness or anxiety which is hardly the sort of laughing being endorsed here. And there's sadistic laughter or laughter associated with cruelty so again the kind of laughter endorsed here is hardly that. In my own experience what IS endorsed here is a hearty laughter that expresses what a joke so much of what we take seriously really isn't. You could even call this a "mocking reality" laughter which hopefully gets one to stop reifying so much of what we perceive in the "outer" world.

@@GeertMeertens If you'd really like to know which I doubt, the reason I'd like to see more is because I enjoy seeing him emanate so much Truth onto the people that come there. The fact that you ask if one still doesn't "get the message" from this video is nonsensical because environmental factors or outside agencies can never bring about a radical revolution from within that project the state he resides in. Also the fact that you identify it as "mystics", dividing them from yourself and therefore dividing reality more and more, as if they are different from you shows precisely that you've given your authority away and that you did not "get the message". Look for the Truth and don't get fooled along the way my friend. Don't try and teach what's not teachable, because there is no one to pick up the phone..

Man, the way Papaji is talking about this reminds me of the sayings of Jesus from the Gospel of Thomas. - Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
