Papa's Mansion
The following words of Pujya Mataji depict her great concern and anxiety for the spiritual progress of all those coming in contact with her.
"The Ashram is Papa's school. You have come here to learn Universal love and service. What is the use of coming here year after year and staying here for months if you have not imbibed even the rudiments of Universal love and service? What use is an Ashram, Math or Mandir if the devotees who go there make no progress at all on the spiritual path? Does any school allow its children to simply come to the classes, spend some years and go away without passing a single examination? How can y

You should not simply stand outside the gates of Papa's Mansion, shower compliments and praises on Papa and then turn back, without bothering to enter the gates and experiencing the bliss of Papa's Eternal Being. The main reason why you are scared of entering the gates of Papa's Mansion is because the world outside is the world of 'I' and 'mine' and you are scared that if you enter the gates and your minds turn towards Papa, you would lose the world you have been hugging as yours. You do not realise that far from losing your world, you actually gain the whole universe which becomes yours when you realise infinite and eternal Papa."
