* 9th Feb 1339 – Carmen from the US tells Papaji that her heart if fully open.
Papaji: whose heart would not open in Satsang? Most unfortunate are those who are suffering due to their karma. Opening of the heart is a merit. The purpose of human birth is to open our heart and be free. One Satsang is enough. Do not stir any single thought is Satsang, everything else is fish market. No more talking or gossips. No foul talk has to be transacted here. Papaji gives her the name Ratna (diamond).
