Guest guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 Hej där allihopa! I just got a beautiful Gangaji-newsletter of how she asked her master Papaji how to repay the gift of understanding. I send it to you. GANGAJI: Occasionally people ask me " How can I repay you for this gift? " This is a very good question because it reflects the glimpse of this enormous gift. The gift that I received from my teacher, Papaji, and he received from his teacher, Ramana. The gift that you receive here. I remember asking Papaji, " How can I repay you? " And he got very happy and said " I¹m glad you ask. What you can do to begin the repayment is to live your life in Truth. " And I said " How Papaji? " And he said " Well, you attend Satsang. " And I said " Well, Papaji, I¹ll be in California and you¹re here in India. " And he said " No. No. Not that Satsang. You attend the formless, eternal Satsang that is not exclusive to any location or any body. You attend that, and you give that away. " I thanked him. I had a sense, just a tiny glimpse, of what he meant. But I recognized the force of his person and how it coincided with the command of my being. And so I obeyed him and I discovered that Satsang is everywhere, under all conditions. And I discovered that to attend Satsang is to hold Satsang and to hold Satsang is to simply give it away. Have I repaid him? No. Not in the slightest. And for that I enlist your help. If you feel you have glimpsed the treasure that has always been hidden in the cave of your heart, and if you feel some gratitude for that glimpse, and if you would like to somehow repay that gratitude, then I say to you " Attend Satsang. " To attend Satsang is to hold Satsang and to hold Satsang is to give it away. Speaking whatever language is being spoken, addressing whatever phenomena is appearing, speaking no language, addressing no one. Simply, finally, and more finally, being true to the Truth. We meet in Satsang. Always, that is where we meet. And the Satsang Hall is the whole earth. And the darshan comes from the exquisite tones and sounds of singing, and chanting and also from barking dogs, from wailing, from sobbing, from twirling, from stumbling, being who you are. ___ Följ VM på nära håll på s officielle VM-sajt www..se/vm2002 Håll dig ajour med nyheter och resultat, med vinnare och förlorare...

LAW: It's sound like you have a " minature " farm there. -------- EL: In the Big Picture, phenomenally speaking, My Whole World is one Big Farm, and homosapiens are one of the Farm Animals! In that sense, I am farming MySelf. But of course, that is only an appearance. In Reality, I am a " point of Void " . 'The Farm, and Awareness of the Farm', appear and disappear together, " in Me " , this point of void... which is common to All. " I " , this point of void, ever pervail. ..
