Most important secret pointers of papaji

DEPENDING ON GOD ONLY
__
Question: Now I don't depend on anybody, nor anything in the world, I depend only on God.
Papaji: To say that now you depend only on God now is an inaccurate statement of yours. How can you say this when in fact you depend on your intellect which says this? You are fooling yourself – you need not change the state of your mind. To only depend on God means to leave everything, including your own mind and intellect.
To pray to God means that God is an object; but God is the subject. As so, the one who prays becomes an object which dissolves with the prayer. This is the real prayer to God. Otherwise, the prayer gives strength to the object which means duality and fear🤔.
CHOICE
Question: What about the choice of favourable circumstances for inner work?
Papaji: Don't choose. There are no circumstances for the one who dives deep. The body is no more his, but belongs to its destiny. Let it react, since the circumstances are only in the waking state.
You want to choose, the Supreme Power is giving you the strength to choose. Don't be so foolish to think it is "you" who choose.
INNER PRESENCE
Question: Do we need to give ourselves totally to the inner presence?
Papaji: If you believe this you are accepting that you are on the outside and that there is something superior to you on the inside. Give up all these ideas. You are neither outside nor inside. Your preconceived ideas, such as "I must experience the inner presence", will give you an experience of an inner presence, but it will just be a mental experience brought about by your belief that there is an inner presence that can be experienced. Give up all ideas such as these and stay quiet.
EMPTINESS
Question: To abide in Emptiness frightens me. Also, it makes me feel like I am wasting my time.
Papaji: The real Emptiness is not frightening. If you experienced fear or fright, then it was not Emptiness. You have never allowed yourself to experience the Emptiness that is empty of all objects. Reject all known impressions, all pictures borrowed from the familiar world of your memory
