Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
PRASAD PAUL DUFFY: The evolution that I said earlier into one
line, through I guess what a tweet needs to be. It's all now,
awakening is now. It doesn’t happen in the future, there is no
future, it goes only until tomorrow, tomorrow never comes. So
that's from my teacher Papaji, you mentioned I had some good
teachers, I had one teacher, Papaji, and I've been influenced by
many others. But I had one teacher, Papaji, and he said, "Call off
