Punja a radiant teacher of Advita Vanta

known for his powerful presence and his
0:20
direct pointing to the freedom that is
0:24
available right here right now find a
0:29
comfortable position where you can
0:36
relaxed allow your body to
0:39
settle gently close your eyes
0:56
breaths feeling the air move
0:59

1:05

1:11
any need to achieve something simply
1:14
arrive in this present moment
1:38
papa G's core instruction was often
1:41
startlingly simple yet profoundly deep
1:46
he would frequently implore seekers keep
1:53
necessarily about forcing the mind into
1:57
silence but about ceasing the inner
2:00
activity of seeking judging and
2:05
conceptualizing it's an invitation to
2:15
notice the tendency of the mind to
2:24
enlightenment a future
2:27
state papa G pointed directly to the
2:31
futility of this search
2:35
asking "What is it you are looking for
2:41
it recognize that what you truly seek
2:46
cannot be found as an object or a future
2:51
experience because it is the very nature
2:54
of who you are right now
3:35
search let go of the seeking
3:39
mind papa G often reminded us
3:49
in this moment simply allow everything
3:53
to be as it is without trying to change
4:00
it rest in simple awareness
4:46
declared "Freedom is your
4:49
nature you are already
4:52
free can you allow this
4:55
possibility that freedom isn't something
4:59
attained but something to be recognized
5:02
as inherent to your being feel into the
5:06
space of awareness that is reading these
5:12
sounds is this awareness bound or is it
6:05
flow let them come and go without giving
6:13
papa G advised "Don't touch any
6:20
self rest as the silent
6:24
witness the background awareness against
6:27
which all phenomena play
6:30
out be the space not the content
7:22
source look within find out from where
7:29
like his master Ramana
7:32
Maharshi Papaji encouraged looking
7:35
towards the root of the sense of
7:41
analyze just gently turn your attention
7:44
toward the felt sense of
7:47
existence the subtle feeling of I am
7:51
before it attaches to any story or
8:38
stillness this quietness that Papa G
8:41
pointed to it's not an empty void but a
8:46
fullness a presence that is always here
8:50
beneath the surface activity of the mind
8:54
he said "This which is always here call
9:05
consciousness it is always the
9:08
same abide in this be this
10:05
required no journey needs to be
10:09
undertaken simply relax into your own
10:15
recognize the peace that is present when
11:21
now gently begin to bring your awareness
11:25
back to the physical
11:27
body feel the weight of your body the
11:33
contact notice the breath flowing
11:53
become aware of the sounds in your
11:57
environment the room around
11:59
you let the world gently filter back
12:04
into your perception
12:17
when you feel ready softly open your
12:21
eyes carry this sense of
12:24
quietness this recognition of innate
12:27
freedom with you into your day
12:31
