Papaji - How can I be in communion with the sages?

[Guest guest]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Question: How can I be in communion with the sages and the founders of the

world's religions? How can I become one with them?

 

 

Papaji: By throwing away all the stories you have heard about these people.

History will not help you. Stories of people who appeared and disappeared will

not help you. Thinking about the ideas that these people taught will not help

you. Throw away all your ideas, including all your ideas you have stored up

about saints, avatars, prophets, etc. If you want to be one with all these

people, then be free yourself. If you can abide in the state in which there are

no ideas, you will recognize your identity with all the great beings who have

ever lived.

 

Question: But how can I be free? How can I free myself?

 

Papaji: By not following any way.

 

Question: If I do this, how will I know whether I am free or not?

 

 

Papaji: You will be free when questions such as these no longer arise. When you

have the experience, you will not continue to ask questions about either being

or not being.

 

Question: How can I live every moment in this way?

 

Papaji: In every instant you are unconditioned and free.
