We
must learn the lesson and spread the message of
love as it was done during the time of Ashoka,
when there was peace everywhere. There were no
wars then. He sent his own daughter and son to
Sri Lanka, to China and the eastern countries.
This is how the message was spread. This message
of peace was started by one man sitting under
the bodhi tree. The flame of love is very powerful.
Once it is ignited, it will start a conflagration
that cannot be stopped, even by chemical weapons.
Simply
meditate alone. You can do it anywhere, even in
your own apartment. You will see the results.
Keep quiet, send the message of peace, 'Let there
be peace,' all over the world. 'Let all beings
live happily in peace.' This wavelength has to
work.
Let's
hope that it does.
Not
hope, no. I don't believe in hope. Hope is about
the future. Let us trust in the supreme power.
It will look after this world very well. It can
bring about instant change. Pray to the supreme
power: 'Please help us to be in peace with all
living beings. Please teach us.' It is very easy
to teach others, to give others advice. Help yourself
first. Find out for yourself what peace is. Don't
bother trying to help others until you yourself
have learned what it is.
What
have you learned from your years as a teacher?
I
am not a teacher. Who told you I am a teacher?
A teacher's teaching is always of the past. A
teacher is someone who tells you to do this and
to do that, and that if you don't you will go
to hell. This is a teacher. I am neither a teacher
nor a preacher.
I'll
rephrase the question: What have you learned from
sitting in this spot in satsang over the years?
Love,
love, only love. I love them [gestures toward
the satsang].
Why
'them', Papa, don't you love me, too?
I
don't include you in this, because you are the
Beloved. I love them, and you are my Beloved.
What does it mean? Because you are my Beloved,
you are seated next to me.
[In
a later interview Papaji explains what happens
when people approach him in satsang: 'I absorb
them all and give them a seat in my Heart, in
my Heart. As the lover gives a seat to the beloved
in his Heart, you are always seated in my Heart.']
Thank
you, Papa.
Thank
you for coming here. On behalf of myself I thank
you, and on behalf of my children I thank you
again and again. I am very happy with your questions.
We have all benefited from these questions. The
vibration from this satsang is not confined to
this building. It has already been transmitted
all over the world. You will see.
Papa,
you have a very broad wavelength. Any kind of
dish can receive this signal.
No
dish and no signal! You don't need any signals.
For signalling you need two — one to send
and one to receive.
Of
course. When will I ever learn?
[Silence]
[Laughing]
You are answering my question now. You asked me
so many questions. I asked you only one question,
and this is the answer to it. Here is the signal
without signalling. Beautiful. What is this? At
least you can tell me now. The interview is over.
What is this?
[Silence]
What
is this? What is happening inside? What is this
enjoyment? You can feel it. All the cells are
enjoying it. Do you see now? They are enjoying
nectar. [Picking up the question paper]
I will take these questions with me.
To
my amazement, Papaji, you answered them all. I
thought there were some pretty tricky questions,
but they all have exactly the same answer.
