Papaji:

"You see, existences and destructions happen ceaselessly. All these

manifestations are like bubbles and waves in the ocean; let them

happen. The ocean doesn't find that they are separate. The bubbles,

the eddies, the waves—they may appear to themselves as separate, but

the ocean itself has no trouble with them. Let them move on it, let

them have different shapes and different names, coming and going.

This body will be the food of worms and ants. From earth it came and

to earth it will return. You are that which shines through it. The

consciousness is untouched."

 

Question: "Do you propose that we identify, with the ocean—that

Source—instead of with the waves?"

 

Papaji:"No, you need not identify with anything. You only need to get

rid of your notions. Do not identify with any name or form which is

not real, and no name or form is real. Now to reject name and form

you need not make any effort or employ any kind of thinking or

identification. You have been identifying with names and forms which

have caused you to feel separate from the fundamental nature which

you always are, so you have to disidentify with something which is

not true. No need to identify with the ocean or Source. You are the

Source. When your identification with the unreal has vanished, then

you will be what you have been, what you are, and what you will be."

All paths go

somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights, perceptions,

and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back

into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than

the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of

Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It

is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the

Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of

Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.
