Drama of Motherhood

This is a funny extract from the 15th March 1993, with a mother and daughter expressing their frustration. Papaji tells them to come up with a new drama the next day, and recollects the time when he was visiting a naked beach in Nice. Watch till the end for a laugh.

The Play of Samsara

Papaji gives an analogy of samsara with the story of a man who falls into a well, grabs a rope, and then becomes unaware of everything else as he enjoys the honey falling from an overhanging tree (sense desires). All the while the man forgets that beneath him a crocodile is waiting for him (death), […]
