energy

[Guest guest]

Question: I’ve been feeling so much energy and bliss.

 

Papaji: This energy is not different from source. This energy is responsible

for the sun shining, for the wind blowing, for you meditating. The problem is

when you attribute this energy to something else; maybe physical, mental,

intellectual, vital, or blissful. Through this energy itself we feel happy,

we breathe; this is the undercurrent. When you understand, there is nothing

to do about it. Only shout a roar," I am this energy!"

 

Q: There are moments when I feel that I am this energy. Then other times the

mind says I must do something.

 

Papaji: Even then this energy is with you. "I am doing" you say, but what is

the energy that lets you do? I lift a hand; what makes the hand lift? What is

this undercurrent? We don't recognize it because it has no name or form. What

makes the mind meditate? That is called emptiness.

 

We don't need any method, any practice, any concept, and any book. Any way,

any thing, any practice will take you away from that. Any doing will take you

away from it, not towards it.

 

All the appearances are not true. They were not there before the beginning,

and they will not be there after the end.

 

Look for the silence. What is it? Where does it come from? How do you differ

from that silence? You will recognize that you are everything.
