Wake Up and Roar — A God‑Wink from the Great Seers

This morning felt like the universe whispering, “Keep going.” Yesterday we celebrated Papa Ji’s birthday, reflecting on quantum flirts, oleander kisses, and the playfulness of non‑consensus reality. Today, a new book slipped from my shelf as if chosen by grace: Be As You Are by Sri Ramana Maharshi, Papa Ji’s own beloved master.

Last night I had listened to Wake Up and Roar by Eli Jaxon‑Bear—a radiant compilation of Papa Ji’s satsangs. His laughter, humor, and uncompromising love for truth reminded me how simple this all is. We search and strive, yet what we seek has never left us. It’s here, quietly shining.

Ramana Maharshi said,

“Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state. When the mind vanishes, there is only Peace — and you realize it has always been so.”

Those words land differently when the heart is ready. They feel less like philosophy and more like recognition. Papaji carried that same current forward—freedom above all else—and his question, Where is the mind? still echoes in me. When I look, I can’t find it. Only Peace remains.

How beautifully simple. The seeker, the seen, and the seeing—all one. No method, no distance, no effort required. Just a gentle remembering of what’s always been.

When I pause and breathe, I feel this lineage alive in me: Ramana → Papaji → Mooji → and this small heart remembering its true nature as Shanti Ma. The Peace that gives birth to all movement yet never moves.

May every sound return to Silence, every breath to the stillness before it began.
May we live as that remembering.
May we all Wake Up and Roar—gently.

Inspired by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi, H. W. L. Poonja (Papa Ji), and the living lineage of Peace.
