PAPAJI: When the disciple meets a realize master and hears the ultimate truth,
he will become free at a stroke.
STUDENT: What if, dispite all his sincerity, he does not becomes free
immediately upon hearing the truth once?
PAPAJI: Than maybe in next life. This person needs more samsara. We will
all arrive home, now or later. If not today then tomorrow; if not tomorrow then
next life. But we will all arrive at home, such is our destiny. And when we
become free we will realize that there has never been any process at all. That this
all was only a concept. Time was a concept, my ignorance was a concept. At the
end he will understand this.
The Guru will not make him understand this. No one can make him understand
this. He has to not understand, until one day something will happen to him.
STUDENT: But is there nothing the person can do to make herself ready?
PAPAJI: This is postponement. One who says "I have to prepare myself" is
deceiving himself, fooling himself. What can be done tomorrow, why not today?
STUDENT: Then is there not a place for sadhana in your teaching?
PAPAJI: No.
STUDENT: So, you give disciples nothing? Nothing to do?
PAPAJI: No. Why give them something to do? They have been doing many
things with other teachers. I only tell them: "No effort. No thinking. Keep quiet".
And this is working! That is why people all over the world are
comming here. Every teacher give them teachings, but there are no results. There
are many ashrams all over the world, many spiritual centers. People are doing
many things for many years, but there is no result. The mind is not quiet because
any yoga or spiritual practice they are doing they are doing with the mind and the
body. Sadhana is done with the mind, but the mind cannot arrive there.
