Whosoever Talks : Meeting with the Beloved ~ The Passivity Series





Whosoever's first 40-day meditation intensive was a surprise
not only for those who love him, but also for himself.
There were around 70 of us,
way more than he had expected. 

This was the retreat where he first shared, or where one first heard of,
the Passivity Sutra.
Remain passive to floating thoughts,
the mental noise that takes you away from the space of being...
he would often say during this retreat.
"Sit with the mind. Have tea with it. Don't be afraid," he would urge. 

Whosoever had also devised meditations to assist the process. 

This little excerpt is from his afternoon Q&A session
that has helped many of us in the retreats that followed,
and in times when one has been heartbroken.
 Enjoy Whosoever's beautiful answer
to Prem Joshua's letter... in December 2002, Goa, India.
