When you observe the void, this void has name and form drawn into it and this void is going to drown into bliss, consciousness, your own being. And then when you stay there, you will know this is my home and this is the end of my journey. And when you see that there is a very deep longing, burning, longing for freedom, you see that it is nearer to you than your own breath.
You don’t have to make any effort. You don’t need to think anything. You just have to keep quiet and not touch what is not permanent. I call it one second. Some people come and in just one second out of a lifetime of perhaps 80 years life span, spend one second, and it happens.And this is up to you to experience. I can’t describe it as it has never been described so far. If you do it, you will love it. And you will never come out of it.

Silence is your real nature. Without silence you cannot be at peace.
Whatever you do, any kind of activity, the ground, the base of that activity, is silence. Whenever you are happy in some gain, you will see you are happy because now your mind is silent on account of gaining anything. So you have to strive only for silence.
We are here to keep quiet and observe silence even while active. Because, unless you're silent, you cannot activate yourself.
This command is coming from the silence even to activate your body. If you are conscious of this silence, which is your substratum always, you will feel this is your fundamental nature, and this we are striving for.
The main teaching of Ramana Maharishi was silence. Whosoever came to him and questioned, he was silent. The only teaching, I believe, is silence. In the beginning also, you have been silent.
The world, the universe, would have been silent, and everyone is returning to silence. This disturbance is of the mind, therefore we are not happy. So we have to train this mind to return to silence.

🙏 PAPAJI PREMIERE 🙏
Jai Gurudev

Please tune in this Thursday 11th of June, at 8.30pm India Standard Time (IST), for the premiere of Papaji’s satsang from the 21st of December 1992, titled ‘Don't doubt about your majesty.’

“Whatever you think, you can't avoid name and form. And if you search someone without name and without form, this is going to be the most happy occasion in your life. You will recognise this moment; that it is you. Keep quiet. Do not think. Don't exert either. Don't stir a thought. Don't waver. Don't doubt about your majesty. Don't doubt. And you are This. So simple. Isn't it?”

The discourse at the beginning was used in the compilation ‘Return to Silence.’ This is the first time that the satsang is published in full.

Please watch with English subtitles.

DEVOTEE: My mind is looking around on all sides but doesn’t seem to find the mind.

PAPAJI: On all sides, yes. You are looking.
But in reality, nobody looks. Nobody is looking. Nobody looks at the mind. You are looking. When you are looking at the mind there is no mind. When you look at the mind, at that time you have no mind. Try and tell me. Now you look around the mind. You are here. No mind. Always look around wherever you are and you’ll6 be safe. Always look for the mind. Where are you? When someone’s looking around, when somebody’s looking, hiding, inviting. Have a dialogue with the mind. Now you invite the mind. I will tell you how to do it. Invite the mind and tell me if it is accepting your invitation.

DEVOTEE: No.

PAPAJI: No. (Chuckling) It will not accept it. No, because it is an intruder, an invader. Mind is the invader. When you are sleeping it attacks. When you are awake, it does not. That is the trick. You keep awake. That’s all. And sleep, you see. Nobody will come. Nobody will come when you are awake. Nobody will come. Nobody, no thief will enter your house if you are awake, but if you are ignorant then you are in trouble, you see. So it’s all right. I’m very happy with this experience. Now you celebrate. Good luck. I want you to keep this with yourself. Take this as prasad. Always with you.

Dealing with Fear

The only way to avoid fear is to always investigate within you. Return back to your inner being, and then you will not have fear. Fear is outside, no? Fear is not within. When there is sun there’s no darkness. So this is the sun when you look back into your heart.
How to look at it? Now just sit or keep the attention at the heart and be aware; keep aware and you will not have any kind of fear. Keep your thought inside and you can remain active outside. You’ll see. Keep inside your attention here on the heart, not this, not the physical heart of the left side of the chest. Not the blood-propelling heart. The heart of a wise man is on the right side. So you turn to your heart on the right side. Just two inches from here, just keep it on the right side. Keep your attention, be always there and then you will receive energy from this to work also and there’ll be no fear at all.

Once there was a king, Yagnawarka was his name. He had two queens, you see. One was the senior wife; the other was the junior queen whom he’d married a year before. The king was well over forty at the time and he loved the younger queen very much. So one day he called her and said, “I’m not getting peace here. So I’m dividing up my kingdom, property, treasures, ministers, diamonds between both of you and I’ll go away to get peace of mind.”
Then the queen said, “Didn’t you tell me I am the most beautiful woman in the world and that I am the only person you love in the world? Did you not say so? And now you leave me. Surely there must be somebody or something else more beautiful and lovelier and more peaceful than me that you reject me now. What is it?”
The king replied, “There’s something which I’m not getting while in the throne, in my government, in my kingdom. Nobody gives me peace and happiness, therefore, I will divide the property between both queens and you look after the affairs of the realm.”
Then she spoke to him: “I’ll also giveaway my half to my senior sister and I’ll come away with you. You are not so foolish as to leave your queen and kingdom. There must be something better that nobody knows. So I’ll follow you. Please accept me. I have been serving you and you’ve loved me most and I have loved you also. So please accept me. I will serve you wherever you are.”
So her share also went to the senior queen and she followed the king and both, husband and wife, went away. Her name was Maitri. They both worked together, sat together, spoke together, helped each other and both of them got enlightened together. Both husband and wife got enlightened and their story, their life appeared in the sutras of the Hindu Upanishads.

Denude yourself of 'I am this,' 'I am that,' that’s all, and plunge into the treasure house rejecting everything.
