dolano.com : Welcome to Leela with dolano dolano dolano

Dear Dolano,
Thank-you for changing my life. I talk about life as "Before Dolano," and
"After Dolano". Sitting with you has changed everything.
I feel finally happy about being alive, but not afraid to die. I keep your picture always
near, and I love to read the back, where you signed it
"You're friend and your own self, Dolano".

All my love, gratitude, and ha, haa....ah-HA! Sandhano (Inquiry)

Hi Dolano,
Now I know what you mean. I have tasted it, which made me realize I had never
really tasted it before. Imagination cannot come close to it. It is so much more
and so much simpler than I ever imagined. The paradox makes sense now. My mind
is blown away, for the first time it chooses to be quiet to experience this
bliss because it knows it cannot create anything that comes close to it. All
fear is gone. I'm home. My gratitude has no end.

Om shanti
Kundan

Beloved dolano,
you showed me that I am home. and for that and everything, eternal gratefulness to you.
For your clarity, strength, compassion...
there are no words to describe the silence...
there is so much, and at the same time, nothing, to say...
thank you-thank you- thank you.................... love, samadhi.

Beloved Dolano,
Thank you so much for allowing me to participate in your Intensive Satsang.
Through your grace, I feel my life will be changed forever.

Over the course of the Satsangs, countless letters of thanks were composed in my mind. Yet none of my ideas and thoughts ever seemed adequate enough to fully capture the measure of my gratitude and thankfulness.

Like a hungry wolf, very early on lining up its prey of innocent lamb – you first cornered and then forced me to recognize and admit who I really am.

From there, you winded me badly on a number of occasions – from the mighty, well placed blows of the Zen Stick you wield. Firstly, knocking me flying off the path and then, later on, pushing and forcing me to drop over the edge of the cliff. Why you are nothing less than a cold-blooded murderer. A killer of helpless children. You have obliterated and destroyed my child. You have killed him and carried him off. I feel very sad. I am still grieving and mawning the loss of this child. I even doubt his remains will ever be found. I suspect he has gone forever.

Even before the start, your confirmation tape alone was like a breath of fresh air. It was so full of wisdom – the path, relative truth, therapy and the onion peeling vision. It sounded radical, but I felt it was true. And then hearing about this pearl vision that arises from liberating the mind. I was so grateful already!

When I arrived at the Ashram in early October, after having been traveling for almost a year, I quickly realized that the sessions on offer here were not for me. But I also knew that earlier on in my development they would have been good. It seemed that my personal development work, at least as I had known it, was coming to an end. It was over for me. But the problem was, I didn't know why. I needed to hear about becoming illegal – it was so timely.

I'm sure you're aware that my whole perspective has changed. One thing I can say for sure - I have made the 360-degree turn. The search is over. I am the pearl. It is all so simple. I cannot believe it. But how could I ever have seen this, without first having the benefit of a liberated mind?

Yes, it has been nothing short of a miracle that I found this Dolano. A beautiful lion who roars truth. Someone who was not only able to explain the importance of liberating the mind - but someone who could help me achieve it.

By the very grace that flows through her and through the pure grace that she is – so much this Dolano has done. I could well have spent the rest of my life finding out and recognizing the things that I have come to recognize over the past few weeks. Such a short period of time to come to know the infinite truth.

Further, the drop may drop for me in time, as well. But what does it matter now anyway? Ideas of becoming enlightened have been thrown out the window. And so too has the main game - my own secret game. That of pretending my endeavors to find out the truth of myself, to come to fully know and understand myself, were not also a search for truth and enlightenment. I pretended these things were different. But somehow, I always knew that they must be the same.

But still in a way, how unexpected the actual result!

So finally, please forgive the occasional welling up of anger and frustration that rose within me towards you. And please know that I will be forever grateful that you did not indulge me. You always responded in truth. What a great gift you also gave me in that. And, as a result, what a great gift I was able to receive.

Thank you Dolano. You are a masterful Zen Master, so truly effective. No other can ever be truer. Thank you so much.

Yours in eternal gratitude, love from Neil

Dear Dolano

I'm Vartul. I hope that this time you can receive my words.

I want thank you again,because you have led Meena and I towards a totaly new dimension, that before I couldn't even conceive: a world of deep rest and peace. Nothing to do, at least! And this transformation happened just after the first satsang...

At the airport of Bombay, when our plane was increasing his speed for the flight, I was feeling inside me a strong (and strange!) stillnes: there wasn't movement at all, even a running plane was a kind of illusion...

I still love Osho (he rescued my life also), but now all his words are dropped and I don't feel myself part of his sannyasins.

I'd like that these lines are not a communication but a little fragment of love.

Vartul

Beloved Dolano,
no words, but tears of joy and overwhelming love! Thank you, thank you beloved!
Ma Prem Meena and swami Anand Vartul

Hi Beauty,
Sometimes I want to write to you, to report, to ask, to confirm.

But actually, what I want is to thank you, for liberating me. Or in fact, show me how liberated I am...

Love,

Jivan.

Yes!!!!! Yes, dolano know satto, satto know dolano, out of not knowing...no need to experience...in rest... no need to express it to express it...leela
eela... beyond words.... gratefulness...
ha..ha..ha...ahaaha!!! sea-lion roaring!!!!
Ps: when I heard you expressing "overlooking, self-denial, imagination", I knew, Yes! This is the one! True speaking, out of not searching it was found!
So much gratitude and laugh!!!! love.

hi dolano,
Thank you sooooo much for the gift that you are and
what you share!
love, pragati

beloved dolano
I just got back to Israel after spending 3 weeks in Munich. I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude and thankfulness to you.
It is about a month after intensive satsang has finished and the recognition is firm.
Clarity it happening more and more and falling deeper and deeper in love with this unnamable force, I call that or god. There is no possibility anymore to believe the imaginations of the active mind. Any thought that has the word "I" as a "personal" reference is simply fading as irrelevant, not finding anywhere to stick to. The sense of freedom is indescribable and the self- doubt is recognized as another illusion. It is hard to express it all in words but at this point I can only say, WOW!!!!! so much love to you,
my own self, samudra.

Beloved Dolano thanks for giving me your new address.
Life had changed to 'me' incredibly! I am a free bird thanks to you!
Eternal love, Sita

Dearest Dolano,
Greetings from New York! I think of you often and with so much love!
I am having such a good time here. Everything in life seems to fall into
place without much effort. There is nothing to say..

and there is so much to say!
You and I spoke so much about simply speaking, do you remember? Anyway, it all takes care of itself. What I know is that there is no "I" who speaks. It is the situation that speaks and if that situation wants satsang then it just happens on its own and with its own intensity. So yes, sometimes there is speaking and it is wonderful but most often there is not speaking and that is wonderful too! Maybe better. hahaha. It is all so perfect, and nothing needs to happen at all.

All the recent good news that happens in life is exciting and satisfying yes of course, but it just so wonderful and relaxing to let it come and go and come and go and come and go and never really touch it. This happiness this satisfaction is like a fabric made from bliss itself, the source!

Dolano, You are a true Sister of Mystery!
Now tears fall, The trees sing, and the mind dances in this garden of love. Dolano, in this mystery, if there exists a heart, then that heart is beating with love for you. This, which is all there is, my own self. How lost, how drunk with the nectar of Beauty is this heart! Drunk on the vintage wine of Nature's Grace.
Beyond knowing, Beyond understanding, beyond pleasure.
This song of bliss is only a mischievous arrow that has somehow escaped from the humming bowstring of bliss itself.
Is there any way to stop this river of words? There is no way... Love roars unceasingly into its own Infinite Heart.
Ah this roar!
Only This..
Endlessly This...

My sweetest love,
anant is singing your name today!

dearest dolano
It has been so intense lately here in Israel and it feels like time to share some of it with you.

Since I left poona 3.5 months ago, a lot has happened, but I think the most significant realization lately was to really understand, to really see from a totally new perspective what you were talking all this time in intensive satsang.

The direct experience of seeing so deeply that who am I has nothing really to do with this dimension we call life, that thoughts and emotions and sensations are just happening for the sake of exploration and as opportunity to really see oneself as the true self, a perfect mirror but never identify with the reflection, was so amazingly strong that I couldn't find myself as somebody anymore.

It was so strange for a while that I couldn't understand the body or the mind and actually felt like some kind of an alien trapped in a human world and form.

To really go through such a shattering experience that leaves one no option but total surrender to what is found, is something I can only call grace.

To see that there is no one to own anything at all, not even breath is "mine", it all belongs to the one and only - that, source, what ever name one would give to this formless unknown able force of life, and that leads to the understanding this is who everyone is in reality, is a very very humbling recognition.

To see that on the inner level, beyond action in this life, one is so perfect, so whole and wise, and to stay completely loyal to this realization, to never move an inch anymore, because movement means already there is somebody doing something, this is the key to being freedom itself, and it is so beautiful and so big that it really blows the mind away.

The question who am I can never be answered, because I see now that there is no end to myself, endless faces, endless possibilities, endless dimensions to explore and perhaps this is why there is always such a drive to never land and to never say "this is who am I", but at the same amazing time, this unbelievable consciousness recognizes itself by itself, and the knowing is so clear that this is truth, what a joy, what an amazing ungraspable joy. So much love to you dear donalo, a beautiful face of mine, a beautiful expression of mine, thank you so much. samudra

Beloved Dolano,
the following words I wrote down over the last days, which I wanted to
share also with you:

There is no body and there is no mind either. There is not even an 'I'.
Only source is. Since this recognition something relaxed. Mind has seen it
and he has not a slightest doubt about it. Actually he loves it and
happily sees.

Investigation shows that everybody is source and so for enlightened, if he
is in a misunderstanding or not. At latest at the point of death everybody
realizes this, when source is freed from the body. . This left me silent
and humble and gave me an understanding that everything on this 'planet'
is 'enlightened' as an expression of source.

A whole-night-laughter followed and since then there is a continuous smile
ongoing and an eternal peace is " felt ". It is difficult to find words and
words cannot really express that which is everywhere.

Later I realized, that it was all spoken on the tapes, but only now seen.

Now I'm waiting a week for a storm to arise, but since than nothing
happens and I don't get a chance to make a popcorn-tape. I carry the
walkman with popcorn-tape and microphone with me all the time, but there
is only silence. And when thoughts arise and get recognized as that, they
are in an instant gone. This I tried with my survival-story, which
should be running normally - ' I'm broke, living on borrowed money and
leaving to Germany, without knowing where to go and how to make money...'
-. After the story started and I listened to it for a while, it stopped
at an instant, when requested and didn't come back again.

There are no words to express my gratitude, my love and everything. which
is there for you Dolano (which is myself/source), but something wanted to
be said and written.

'It' is so easy

Sanatha

Dear dolano
i just cannot help to say thank you to you.
i am grateful for the first time and forever.
i bow down to all the illegality you have committed
for us. Thank you to say it all, once for all.
And thank you for the beloved servant to give the
greatest gift she could give to herself.

love gulestan

Hi, I don't know if you remember me by name (Gil) but I'm been in the intensive satsang of 8-9/2001, and I visit the open satsangs often (dark skin, long hair, beard).
Since the satsang my life have changed, and I life live from the pearl vision, however there where always some minor doubts present, and a feeling of something missing in the whole picture, so the search did not completely stop.
About 10 days ago, I had an experience in which I've clearly recognized this:
All is love, and I was never "ME".
It took me a whole day of laughing at myself with the question "How could I ever think I was ME" to notice, that this "Who Am I" question, has completely disappear, and a gentle complete feeling of peace, was always present.
When you talked about "the drop", and you said that at the moment you saw it, you knew it will last forever, I did not really understand how can you know that.
But when I noticed it, I knew, this is it, no doubts anymore, it's always now, and I am that.
Since then things are dropping from me so fast, I don't even know myself anymore, but really it doesn't matter.
I am source, I have always been, and I cannot even imagine myself out of it.
I can find no words to express my gratitude for you, how can one thank for that ???
I guess I will never be able to repay that, so all can do is helplessly rewrite, thank you, thank you, thank you.........I'm grateful..All the love.. Gil

Hi dolano.

It's been a while I wanted to write.

Nothing in particular, life continues, as always did, full of situations,
feelings, beauty, comfort, uncomfort, difficulties, surprises, limitations,
waves of this and that, .... like always been.
Even when confusion happen, it's not confusion anymore. It's a minor thing
in the vastness of life, which is absolutely ordinary. No weights attached to
anything.

It seems like i got the point! Or the point got me. And really, nothing else
survives. Only me, which is not me. Nothing I could believe before, and still
can't believe now.
Funny, but it's true.

Nothing disappeared, but nothing matters. And still it scares, and still it
doesn't matters.
Maybe, this is the only change.

Bye, with lots of love and thankfulness.

Jivan. (Cake)

Hi Dolano...
Wow, I did the satsang with you last march...01 and now I am back in my home in
Brasil and...I just felt like sharing with you the beauty that is has been
to know who am I and move on in this world, really there are no words to
express my gratitude towards this that you are, I am, and everybody IS.
Storms are coming but they are not really storms anymore, but a delightful
adventure that points to who am I...so much freedom, true freedom.
And the greatest gift is that there is no way to escape away from who am I,
no way...and each day a new recognition of the nature of this body-mind and
the nature of who am I...
I don't know what else to say, but that I am eternally grateful for having
been finally found...
Thank you .....
AMBHIKA

Dearest Dolano!
The gift you gave me is beyond words although I choose to share my thoughts-emotions with you. Every moment in this life is full of the clarity of knowing who am I, knowing myself as beyond one with all the being as love to source.
This self is full as empty, this " I " knows that the flow does not belong to him, it just runs through " him " and it just has to be empty and clear as it is.
In few days I'll be 36, last year I gave myself a present to do the intensive Satsang with you, It is a lifetime present. Thank you Eternally.. Ocean of love and bliss..

Madeva-Odelia

Beloved Dolano......
a brief note to say that England
was never so beautiful
as it is now i know who am i, so many ways source
expresses itself and everyone of them
quite beautiful. Thank you for pointing so well and
for roaring so loudly.
I will listen again and again, for the joke only gets
sweeter.
Love and happiness

Unmado

Beloved Dolano,

Everyday more and more an immense gratitude to you, to me, to everything!! THANK YOU!!!!! for sharing what cannot be spoken and to pointed this TRULLY NOTHING to me!!! (and the biggest and beautiful joke is there is nothing even to be thanked for...)

I'm Kavio;

I participated in the last January intensive. (I'm the guy who sang the "falling falling" song with the guitar).

I want to confirm. I want to tell you how everything changed (and, of course, stayed just the same...)
but I know - there is no need, you already know.
I know there is no need to start the engine of this mind in order to try and tell you what can't be told.

so

I will just say

Yes

and I know, you will know.

so much thankfulness, Dolano. as you know.

so much love, obvious, obvious love.
as you know.

Kavio.

Hello beloved Dolano

I met you there 2 years ago. I am so grateful to life to make me to meet you. The pearl vision changed my life. Now, mind knows what is true, and what is appearance. When identifications happen, it recognizes them more and more quickly. Mind is at home now, knowing there is no "me", and still being in the play of Leela, and in the ecstasy of the eternal now.

Thank you so much

Françoise

hi Dolano, I would like to rephrase my letter to you.
infect its simple.
I just let the mind use its creativity in the right
way.
I know what is that the mind needs to do and is good
at and I also know the limitation of the mind-when
mind can only circle.
o.k. now its much better.

eternal love and gratitude

Vismay

hi dolano

Beloved Dolano,

I am in London at the moment and yesterday while trying to catch the right bus towards the city center I managed to jump on one that took me towards the wrong direction. Then I have got off of the bus and I started to wait for the bus leading towards the opposite direction. I sat down at the bus stop surrounded by kids screaming and cars heading in every direction. At that very moment I felt a certain stillness that I never felt before and with that happiness for no reasons at all: Just Happy!!! I had just got lost in London and I could not care less if I was sitting in the cold while waiting for this bus, it was just so beautiful, I could have sat there forever..........
Before coming to intensive satsang I did not know what was what, who was who and where life was leading: Now everything is so simple and clear!!!! Intensive satsang with Dolano has helped this mind to step out of the mess. I am finally home!!! Home is silence, peace, love, compassion and happiness for no reasons at all. This is just my nature.
I am a river of gratitude towards my own self and friend Dolano.

Thank you, Federico

Hi Dolano,

if just got myself a dog. She is amazing and beautiful. Me and my girlfriend found her on the street in Haifa, after she was probably abandoned by someone. I loved her immediately and knew I must take her.

A great happiness is felt with this new friendship. When I took the dog, i remembered your story about how you took the cat after the drop had dropped.
Suddenly, committing to a dog is the happiest and easiest thing in the world.

Simplicity. innocence. absolute clarity. absolute natural courage. who could have imagined...

Thank you for your part in liberating kavio's mind. Yahtzee, my new dog, sends her gratefulness, too.

smiles and a hug, Kavio

From Moscow with love,

Dolano, Dolano, beloved Dolano!
It is only one month after your intensive Satsang and how much gratitude has been pouring out of my heart in all this time to you and to me, to this gift that I gave to myself to come to you! This gift is priceless, it is ever lasting, it is the last one and completely overwhelming, it is so enough onto itself!
Dolano, how can I thank you for what you've done and for the way you were roaring the truth to us! I've been through many different experiences during this month and the Satsang is shining every day more and more, through everything, so absolutely dominant! Sometimes I was waking up in the middle of the night with the tears of gratitude to you, who was so generous not to delude us anymore with the sweetness, softness and bliss pictured on the face. Thank you for not being sweet and soft at all! For being so ORDINARY, nothing to cling to!!! Thank you for being so harsh on me in so many occasions! And for all the love and compassion that comes with it. How else could I hear you otherwise?!
Thank you for the simplicity of your language speaking the truth. No more nice talks "about it", just like a sharp sword, no one word wrong, no way for the mind to get confused or deluded anymore, just recognition...

Love, love, eternal gratitude to you, to me, SATCHITANANDA!!!!!!

Natalia

hi dolano

I did the intensive last year 2003 in may, tonight I was listening to one of
the tapes and I cried a lot for the gratitude for being in the intensive.
It happened in many times that I felt really lucky by having such an
opportunity. This time I really wanted to thank you.
Actually I would like to express more, I have the feeling that these
words that I am writing can't really express. I am in front of the pc
since almost half an hour trying to find the "right" words to tell you
how much I am grateful. But maybe you already know. ehheheheh

really eternal gratitude for the opportunity I had.

thank you!

;-)

devaraj

Beloved Dolano,

Thank you for your Satsang, this wonderful highway of
truth and liberation. Thank you for showing the way in
every point where I could have taken a wrong turn.

It is extreme luck that your Satsang is available
right now, just in right time for me.

With your help I have come home, the search is over.
What a liberation for this mind after many years of
struggling and trying to do the impossible!

To say thank you feels almost ridiculous, truly my
gratitude is beyond any words.

Eternal silence, bliss, love, freee...

Sanket

Dear Dolano;

In these few intensive Q & A days, I recognized that you are my
Buddha Mother, and I have so many Buddha sisters and brothers
together. Yes, I am a new Buddha Child full of gratitude. In
these few days, looking at your eyes, sometimes the tears just
flow in my eyes. The body-mind is so relax and in rest that I am
lazy to ask any question, of course listening to your answering is
such a joyful/powerful roaring in me. Yes, I heard my own voice
speaking; all I can do is just living truth w/o any doubt. Again
thank you for you and your beautiful work.

In Luckness, Krisana

Samarpan roaring!

Gratitude overflowing
For Dolano is a waterfall
She whispers 'satchitananda'
She sings 'nothing ever happened ,what is just is'
She calls 'be true to truth'
Cascading truth showers me
Me can't deny Me
My voice out of her mouth
Roaring 'I am great'
I am love
I am peace
I am intelligence
I am bliss
I am silence
I am aware
All this play
All this garden
Each aspect of me
source expressing itself
Shouting 'me,me,me'
Leaning back laughing
Me welcomes Me home
Lets play eternal
out of fullfillment

Two years after intensive and still the gratitude is endless

Beloved, Own Self, Dolano,

It is now two and a half years since intensive satsang with dolano, for sure the very, very last satsang! Mind sometimes likes to listen to satsang by some teacher or another, just for fun, but every time there is confirmation that absolutely nothing is needed beyond the recognition of 'who am I' which was so magnificently revealed at intensive with dolano. And still there is no teacher to come even close to pointing so strongly to Truth - only with dolano did I hear my own voice speaking, and that was truly all that was needed to end the illusion and the madness. So clearly did my own voice speak at that time in Pune, that during intensive while taking a rest from listening to the tapes and swimming in the pool at the ashram, suddenly it was revealed that what lies behind these eyes is not 'nora' but something completely nameless and I laughed and laughed and laughed - the cosmic joke!

Soon after the intensive I wrote to you saying how so much neurosis has simply fallen away. And now two and a half years later this life is so different to before dolano. Before dolano I wanted to prove myself to achieve success, and now it is so simple that nothing needs to be done at all, as there is no 'myself' to concern itself. Indeed all is so totally complete, beyond words, regardless of circumstances. No storm (and now they are so few and tiny and all welcome to come!) can ever the touch the recognition of Source as All, as Peace its self, as Who am I.

Dearest dolano the gratitude is so, so huge, this freedom is so huge, that I can only bow before you and all this sacred life in it's endless forms.

Nora

Beloved Dolano!

I did the last January intensive with you, by now I'm back in Switzerland, working and tomorrow I even start studying again, so much is happening, I do so much and yet there's nobody, I take responsibility in many ways and yet there's nobody taking anything (only responding), I live with three people in the house, one is the girlfriend and so much happening and I'm fully involved and yet there's nobody.
I don't know how to thank you for this introduction to 'who am I'!
There's endless gratefulness and I love this play so much, it's so much worth the uncomfort it brings with it.
Beloved you, another me!?!?...and there's not even one ... hahaha, I thank existenz so much to bring this form of you to this form of me, showing 'who am I'!

LOVE

Dhanyam

dear dolano,

I was in the January intensive {the guy with the tattoos}. I have
just returned to Holland and have wanted to send this thank you since the
intensive finished. Every time I try to say something about it, it doesn't seem
right. Im just very very happy to have spent the time with you and can say
how lucky i know i am. Its all becoming more obvious and as much as its the
number 1 important thing to me to give it what it needs, the play is very
nice and very enjoyable as my search has been a little serious, the last few
years. Its the best thing ever to know, is there all the time and i love it.
It was so beautiful the way you shared with us. You are a grate example of it
and a star shining very bright.

thanks always. love, shaun

Dear Dolano,

It has been a year since we met in your intensive,
A year filled with numerous events and recognitions.
I sit now to write you a report as a kind of a thank you
letter.
Source thanking source.
You have planted the seed of awakening in my mind and now
The flowering has come –
My doubts have gone and with it freedom recognized
Now I see, not a pig anymore, and can appreciate this pearl
of nothing
Who am I is not a question to be solved but only a trust to
be given
You have told me – be a light onto yourself, and when I did
I found the light of source as my self and all others.
I thank you so

absalom

Beloved dolano,

during the second day of questions & answers while you were speaking I saw
what can't be seen but only known....you touched your nose and in no time I
saw that there was nobody there....There is nobody there....as I am writing
this letter there is nobody here........only source is......

Eternal Love & Gratitude, your own self Federico

Beloved Dolano,

words cannot express the gift of satsang intensive...with Dolano
There is such a big wave of gratitude and gratefulness .I can sit in my room
not sure whether I'm laughing or crying in such wonder of recognizing
myself.
I'm in love with truth and such sweetness and joy to hear my voice thru
your mouth speaking.

with again my gratitude,

Samarpan

Beloved beautiful Dolano

Thank you for the simplicity of your language speaking the truth. No more nice talks "about it", just like a sharp sword, no one word wrong, no way for the mind to get confused or deluted anymore, just recognition...

Love, love, eternal gratitude to you, to me, SATCHITANANDA!!!!!!

Natalia

Dolano, beloved friend, what a present to hear back from you!

Of course, you can use my letter the way you want. I also am thinking to come to your satsang as a helper some day if it would be possible, when the situation in Russia would be more clear. Now with all this terroristic acts and bomb exploxions here to fly somewhere is a real headache, the checking up at the airports is for hours and hours.

But what a strange change in me! Waching the news on TV about these last events, faces of people full of fear, tears and blood, I do feel the same compassion as before, but it is the secondary thing. The main thing is so clear! Whatever happens, it is just another reminder to the people that this body is not forever, nothing here is forever, no possessions, no attachments, no relations! Don't cling, wake up! Wake up right now!

Do you remember my question about human's cruelity and that I was not able to see love in it? Strangely now I can see compassion and love in this constant shaking of the planet. Because I came to know through your grace that to who I really am, to my true nature nothing ever happened!!!

Love and gratitude to you, wonderful lion roaring the truth! I was so blessed to come to you!

Dear Dolano,

I wish your body is in good health and that the
monsoon in Poona are not too heavy this year; here in
Europe we really had a sort of monsoon with
storm and floods.
I am writing to you simply to thank you and thank you
again. This is really what I do every time I lessen
to an intensive tape.

You know, when I was at my first open satsang with
you in march 2001, you were saying: .go for other
Satsangs and come to me for the last satsang.
So I did, as I wrote to you in my intensive request
letter, I was in an intensive with Rani and, months
later, in the April intensive with you.
I remember I wrote to you that I knew that I could not
loose who I am, but that I had doubts and still to
free the mind and so on.
Okay. simply I had no recognition. simply I had not!
And I was still cherishing ideas like 'mind is
tricky'!
With Rani it was probably the ultimate therapy, but
still therapy and in the process (it was a process, a
becoming) there was no recognition.

I know now clearly what you were meaning the first
intensive day saying: . if mind has not been liberated
by that who you are, then you really do not know who
you are.
In the intensive with you the recognition was so
natural, so simple and so powerful that let the mind be
like a child mind. I use to be a good speaker, I use
to give public speech sometime,. suddenly there where
no more words, speechless.

I thank you for my head rolling about my love for
philosophy. Being so long with a tibetan master
educates the mind to philosophy and debate. This may
be good for the language, but existentially it is
simply meaningless; this love for philosophy took
short time to disappear.
No more doubts, no more serious speculations. Only
laughter and freedom.
No need of discipline, not relevant what is happening
or not happening.

I thank you for my head rolling for my attention to
the body sensations. This was probably because of the
consequences of a bad bike accident that I had many
years ago that left a hip prosthesis and nine screws in
the left leg, some limitations and an exaggerated
attention (and a fear sensation) to its tensions and
pains.
Now it is not like this anymore and all the body is
some how changing: it is softer and a sort of healing
is going on and I see my body as a beautiful organism,
really it is beautiful.

Of course there are things that are going forever:
these last years I gave many session as astrologer.
I use sidereal astrology referring to the real
astronomical position of the planets and stars in the
sky (the tropical western astrology is working with a
sky of two thousands year ago - Tolomeo's time -
almost a sign off). The point is that astrology tells
only about the body-mind tendencies so at the end of
the story astrology tells you what you are not. And
even the most significant planetary transit cannot
change who am I. So what to do. I don't find anymore
sense on giving astrology sessions. and of course they
do not happen.

Also some friends are going. On the beginning the
temptation to share with the closest person is strong,
but it has happened for a short time, then the silence
became natural. The use of language is changed and
many common ways of saying and the so-called spiritual
or new age language sound really nonsense and so
hilarious. Other friends come to ask, looking for
answers. Talking together shows us so clearly the
dream they believe they are in that in the end we
laugh a lot.

A lot of creativity is happening. I used to do
musical instrument making and in May the idea of a new
instrument came up. I spent two months in the basement
of the house where I have now the workshop (I do not
do that job professionally since long time) and it
came out a very interesting string instrument that is
integrating different instruments and styles of music
(turkish, iranian, indian) that I liked to play.
It is really a joy for me to play it. It is the end
of another search.
Such a playful sense of creativity, this is something
you really transmit during the intensive, thank you
again.

So life is going on, as usual, but nothing is the
same.
Where I am now there is a little garden with trees and
sometime a ripen apple falls by itself. That's it.

Beloved Dolano,

I just felt like writing to you once more, and express my gratitude for your
work I was able to be with last autumn.
I am still in India, now in the very north, in a very beautiful and peaceful
surrounding, and I started to listen to your tapes again. It's so deep, so
true, and so simple at the same time - and so good to have it with me here,
in this amazing nature and stillness.

Thanks and lots of love Sampatti

dear Dolano

one and a half years had passed since i did your Intensive Satsang
in this period of time i traveled in India, I had a motorcycle accident that forced me to go back to Israel and i am still recovering from it.
Through all this time i just felt GOOD
through all my pain i experienced the being of the I was undoubtable.
I feel, thanks to the Satsang, that everything is fine everywhere all the time
and nothing could take this feeling from this body-mind.
As if nothing was changed, i am the same person, but still everything is different
as if a new unseen aroma had added to life.
Remember i was the philosoph of my satsang and i think that if you managed to touch me in the bottom of my heart you can touch everybody.
You killed every meaning in my life
i am free of being "someone" of becoming of doing
i am FREE.
You killed me just to be rebirth again, and this time with a big smile on my face
I can't say i understood the Satsang, not in the normal way anyway, but this is the beauty of it.
I thank you and me and all this wonderful thing called life

OM SHANTY

hi dolano,

om shanti, the email i wrote yesterday has gone, its not your computer it
was my mistake.

I write to say thank you for everything. Nirdosh expressed beautifully
yesterday how grateful i am that dolano went from hell to heaven to
eternal freedom and is able to speak the unspeakable. To help the beloved servants mind
fly freely in this play of leela. So beautiful!

No words can thank you enough i can only whisper;

satchitananda!

love always

nartan

Hello Dolano,

Here's a quick message to make sure you re receiving your mail. Also, it's a chance to attempt to express my gratitude for your continued sharing with us. I cannot thank you enough! Your method of "no bullshit" is so refreshing after so many frustrating years of trying to understand and abusing the beloved servants. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Love, Ayla

beloved dolano,

you showed me that i am home. and for that and everything, eternal
gratefullness to you. For your clarity, streingth, compassion...
there are no words to describe the silence...
there is so much, and at the same time, nothing, to say...
thank you-thank you- thank you....................

love, samadhi

beloved Dolano:

so you may remember this body mind as i was helping your last intensive.... and what happened is the flue took over during the last days (big sweats during the night) & each day hoping i could come and there was not the energy for source to move me there, however did remain immersed listening to the satsang tapes ... every time it sounds different - so fresh - still i am so enthusiastic about listening to the tapes as i have been doing almost daily since my first intensive last march.... cannot find the words to thank you-source for the gift of your presence - teachings - i am so full of gratitude - dancing with joy - so free - some hangovers still and learning to welcome it all - your voice speaks to me spontaneously, giving me different perspectives as if the satsang tapes are recorded in the computer - the timer is a gift, and again thank you so much -----

love rajiva

BELOVED DOLANO,

I WAS WITH YOUR INTENSIVE SATSANG IN OCTOBER, I WANT TO THANK YOU ONCE
AGAIN FOR WHAT YOU REVEALED TO THIS ONE. WHAT I RECOGNISE IS THAT IN
ONE TRUE RECOGNITION THE STORY OF ME IS SEEN FOR WHAT IT IS, AN
ILLUSION! AT THE POINT OF THIS RECOGNITION I SAW THAT ALL THE STORYS
ATTACHED TO THIS IMAGINED SEPERATE ENTITY HAD LIFE ONLY IN MEMORY, IN
OTHER WORDS, NO LIFE ATALL! SPEAKING FROM MY EXPERIENCE I CAN SEE
THAT WITH THIS TRUE RECOGNITION THERE IS NO QUESTION OF TRYING TO GIVE
UP THE STORY OF ME, IT HAD NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL! WHAT IS LEFT OF THE
LIFE OF THIS BODY IS IN SERVICE TO THIS RECOGNITION, THIS IS THE ONLY
WAY IT CAN BE. NOTHING TO ACHIEVE, NOTHING TO GAIN AND NOTHING TO
LOOSE. THIS MIND IS TRUELY HUMBLED, KNOWING THE ONLY TRUTH! TRUELY,
TRUELY NOTHING! 'WHO AM I'.
INFINITE GRATITUDE TO YOU, SAME SELF.

LOVE HUGH

Beloved Dolano,

just time again to thank you - for all I could receive in the Intensive.
I participated in the last one, and after that went straight away to Goa.
Here, still quiet, the tapes are with me, helping to integrate and maturing.
It feels like seeing, perceiving, feeling, listening - all is different, and
still life seems to move on the same way. sometimes I just find myself
wondering like a little child - the switch is so small and still so huge.
Same-same. Challenges are coming daily, but life is a big big miracle in
which all is welcome.
Thank you for your being and the beautiful work you offer to all of us.

with love Sampatti

beloved dolano.

i just got back to israel after spending 3 weeks in munich. I just wanted to
express my deepest gratitude and thankfulness to you. It is about a month
after Intensive Satsang has finished and the recognition is firm. Clarity it
happening more and more and falling deeper and deeper in love with this
unnamable force, i call that or god. There is no possibility anymore to
believe the imaginations of the active mind. Any thought that has the word
"I" as a "personal" reference is simply fading as irrelevant, not finding
anywhere to stick to.
Freedom is indescribable and the self-doubt is recognized as another illusion.
It is hard to express it all in
words but at this point i can only say, WOW!!!!! so much love to you, my own
self,

samudra.

beloved dolano

just ripple of gratefulness

Most Beloved Dolano,

I did the Intensive with you on December 99...Last January 2004, these words arose..and I'd like to share them with you..
"All there is is this,
The answer to every question,
The ultimate love song,
The eternal sacred prayer..
All there is is this......."
Love ,
from This ,to This....

Neera

dear Dolano

thank you, thank you dolano
finally, it has been a long journey.
i am so grateful to you for pointing so
directly to truth.
out of this fulfillment things are dropping by them self
out of this fulfillment many beautiful appearance show them self
and the face of truth is becoming clearer more and more
everything falls in it's place like you said another ahhh.. and one more.
eternal peace and silence

with love, shanty

Beloved Dolano!

Hi, this is Ihina. I participate in the Intensive
Satsang with you in jan.2004, and just want to thank you very much for
share with us the real wisdom, and make me see the essential Truth.
My gratitude forever

Ihina

Dearest beloved Dolano,

Now it's my turn to apologize for responding so late :-)
I've been very busy with a new project I took. It was supposed to be a short
6 weeks project but things developed differently than expected, as reality
always does :-) It now looks that I will stay in Israel to finish this
project at least until July.
Last week I moved to a sweet little apartment in the city of Caesarea which
is located on the beach half way between Tel Aviv and Haifa. Do you still
remember the major cities in Israel from your visit here? :-)
It's a small but sweet place with a balcony that has beach view. It's now
winter here and this year it is very rainy so I didn't yet get too much of
'balcony time' but I know that it's never too late for that.
I'm enjoying existence tremendously It actually makes me cry of happiness
sometimes. It's simply unbelievable how I lived so many years missing the
most obvious. I guess I needed your Zen stick for that. I'm so grateful, I
really have no words. I also know that I don't 'need' you anymore. I stand
alone like a lion. Thank you, you lioness.
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIVE THE PLAY OF LEELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLAY THE LIFE OF LEELA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm laughing now so loud looking at the last lines :-)

Love you so much...

Your true friend and own self.

Ami

Beloved Dolano,

This is Premjeet writing from Brazil. I had Intensive Satsang with you in 2000 and 2001. I would like you to know that this body-mind-organism got Y O U - WHO AM I. It is good. There's gratefulness arising, that's why I write you. Send you the outcome of your job: Silence.

the scar in her face from caraccident...hi, hi, hi
love you always, eternal
YOUR SATSANGS ARE SO IMPORTANT!!!

Just have to express my gratefulness to you once again.. Comes up overflowingly every time I relisten to your tapes. I also feel much gratefulness at my being so slow. It's not a retardation, but a gift in itself. That I know. I touch your feet with eternal thanx .. Love I Am You are ........ Nirmoha.

Hi Dolano,
I never really wrote you to tell you how grateful I am for having met you, for being in your intensive satsang, for your words and everything.
So grateful, So grateful.
Words cannot tell and yes can tell.
Everything changed forever
and yes outside nothing changed, nothing ever needs to change,
all so perfect.
Found home, all there is, endless everything.
Love, now overflowing, always here.
So good.
So here.
All including, and bursting in here.
Nowhere to go and so content.
Beloved friend, thank you.
Love, tears, playful.
I am
So simple. (Remember, toooooo simple at first - ha ha ha - very good joke)

Namaste Beloved Dolano,
I have again returned to Pune....home of truth and love.....and although i don't have the time this visit to come to an open satsang and roar...this body would not leave without sending this message of love and laughter to Dolano, beloved reflection of self. As i continue to travel and meet myself everywhere, i am constantly reminded of the beauty of recognition.....no separation, nothing to fear, nothing to need, nothing to achieve, just boundless limitless love and happiness and eternal thanks to the one who pulled and pushed this mind into self recognition with a firm Zen stick....but always with laughter and love and a wicked sense of humor.
Love love love and happiness.

bodhi Unmado (Adam, august 01 satsang)

Sweet beloved Dolano,
Thank you for pointing me to what is true.
what is so dominant, almost screaming in its silence:
"LOOK AT ME!", and I turned my head, which was looking
so far away, and saw myself for the first time.
WHAOOO!!!

I am true silence, I am peace and love and bliss,
Beyond any experience. I am illegal HAPPY!
I almost can't believe my freedom (good thing I don't
need to believe in it), my good luck for being finally
free, finally found, finally HOME.

Knowing I have lived this life a hundred times,
I am completely free to do absolutely nothing.
My mind has recognized the beloved one, source,
and no more imagine he needs to take care of a "me".
so he happily retired now to an endless holyday, where
he can simply do the things he likes, and play. No
more imagining:" I must get up and go to that party,
to live life".
And in stopping, body-mind is relaxed into peaceful
love, so ordinary and blissful, so here,
No need to leave home again.
No promise of divine light or magical new path can
steal away that recognition.

I can keep roar like this forever.

No one could have nail me to that recognition better
than you, no angle with sweet words and soft voice,
But it was the unique reflection of source that you
are, So illegal and uncompromising, with a big Zen
stick and a cool tattoo.
no words can express my gratitude.
In Endless Love,

Hila

Dear Dolano
Of course it would be just fine for you to use my letter for the website - I will look out for it on there.
Just to let you know also that I am finding the pop-corn tapes really amazing - so helpful. They really allow so much change in the situation once I have spoken it all out and speak it from Satsang at the end this mind/body feels very different. I find this mind/body dealing very differently when and if the situation arises again - so beautiful!! Also I get a much bigger insight into the situation and really surprises 'myself' sometimes!!! What a huge gift the popcorn tape is. Thank you so much for this.I would love to come back to Intensive Satsang as a helper at some time in the future.

In the love that we All Are and eternal gratitude - Nora

beloved dolano,
I'm so happy you exist and have the roar of truth running through the world......
You were the bloody egocracker number one to me and will always be.....thank you
Thank you for showing me the most simple thing in life: Home.
Thank you for willing to share and show me me- you, the same..
in love pragati,

The other day it snapped, how could it possibly be different then that I have never ever changed, ever since I was born?
So much gratitude to grace, to life, to all, without exception of anything existing, to...................!
thank you..

Beloved Dolano,
the miracle is happening - we both feel so serene as if
things were not moving at all.
Vartul had been diagnosed III stage of the disease (MM = multiple
myeloma, which destroys bones from the inner of the bone itself) and he
is very brave.... and listens regularly to your tapes.
I just received the books you suggested me to buy (Life after life and
Final gifts) and I started last night to read "Final gifts".
Vartul keeps reading the e-mail you sent us and we both came to the
conclusion how lucky we are that Source asked us to go to Puna last
Winter and stay in your satsangs.... (and how ready we were to come to
you!! ahahahah!)
Thanks again and again beloved. So much love, bliss and peace.

Your own self, Meena

Beloved Dolano,
I am back home with Meena after 39 days in hospital!
The death of my body had been postponed and I am again enjoying life!
I do not remember nothing intellectually of your satsangs, but in every
cell of my body there is the certainty that you gave me a very, very
important message.
My feeling is that you took me off the pilgrimage and put me directly
in front of the door..
Again, with deep gratitude. Yours,

Vartul

Beloved Dolano,
a few considerations. Vartul's cancer is indeed the strongest experience and
mirror that Existence could send me.
I understand now that we all live in such a precarious state that all
"mundane and material" things we fight for are simply meaningless and
ridiculous.
Each and every day is a miracle, is a gift for no reason at all and it comes
not because we are particularly good or worthy. From the moment this insight
entered in my inner reality, I can enjoy of every tiny minute, of each tiny
thing, even of not doing because I know that I am in a "being" state even
without doing! It's orgasmic; it's thrilling though I know we are destined
to disappear as a body.
Amazingly there is joy and no more tears of fear or anguish.
Much love to you, who had such a Love as to help me in the jump.

Meena

Hi, beloved Dolano,
after 2 years 8 months India back to Berlin 1 week ago:

NOTHING EVER HAPPEND!

India is one breath - already gone
Berlin is here & now - I was never gone away

All is here and now, has been forever,
nothing has changed and all is changed.

Less money
no job
no flat

and I stay free in a luxury flat with a car for 3
weeks!

A slice of future-fear is sometimes knocking softly on
the door without any energy. But the door is a very
old one, roasted, and difficult to open. To enter is
too much effort. Fear is lazy and Who am I - satchid-
ananda is so beautifully dominant that fear prefers
to leave.

Happiness is all the time, trust is deeply present
and gratitude towards Dolano is overwhelming -
endlessness.

Thank you also very much for giving a hug and a kiss
in German Bakery one day before my departure.
Body-mind
was so touched, that I went out immediately, jumped on
my bicycle towards my room and tears of love and joy
and thankfulness were running a long time. Bliss!!!

Love forever
in deep gratitude

Deva

Hey:
I attended your Dec. 15-Jan 99 intensive and thought to say hello again. I cannot say that the drop has dropped, but I will say that this recognition is more than enough. Amazingly, I have stopped seeking. As you said it would, it dropped on its own without any doing on my part. This is enough for me. I cannot say that I have any more understanding or any distance from my emotions or thoughts, as neither would be correct, but somehow I remain uninvolved with their appearances. Of course, I still have plenty of mind-attacks but there is always a part that remains uninvolved with it all. What a relief, as I remember it otherwise. I as well, often feel intense joy, I know this is a come and go as well, but I will take it any ways. It has been in fact the recognizance of the come and go of this joy, that I more deeply recognize the come and go of all that I am not, mind and moods, etc. as I don't avoid what appears to me.

I as well had a long-time heroin/coke addiction. Even though that dropped a long time ago, what lingered were panic attacks and depression. I work as a teacher at a university in Bangkok, I could of never even imagined in the past, standing in front of a group of strangers and talking. I had left jobs in the states at the mere mention of any public speaking, my social anxiety was so intense,. Twenty-five years of depression, Dolano, now gone, burned away on its own. My God what a relief, what a relief, I truly never imagined it possible. This that I am is enough as I do feel free, safe and happy. I feel so much love for you as you helped me so much. I wanted you to know. Thank you forever and a day.

Karim
