A note from Dolano
“On the open satsang tapes, the answer to a question is always interconnected with

what I just said before; so I very much recommend that you listen to a whole tape.

If you focus on picking a question, my response to that question mostly will not be

that powerful and as well maybe you will not hear the real message.”

Listening to Dolano

​

Everything in this page is important. If it clicks with you, you'll be coming back for more. Take your time, this page is not going away. This page is complete in itself and prepares the listener for the last satsang. We will keep adding new recordings to this page from time to time.

​

If this is your first time listening to Dolano, you'll notice that she speaks with an accent and a colorful vocabulary of her own. Don't let that turn you off! You'll get used to it in ten minutes. Chances are you'll come to love Dolano English. It is the perfect language for Satsang. It does away with a lot of complications that have no place here because satsang is not philosophy. 

We won't try to explain the roar, the ringing bells, samsara, the wrong vision, the play of leela, the body lifestream, the bodymind, the beloved servant's mind, the laptop, the bookstore, make-surity, vocabulity, actom nice, sababa, graveyard, emotion-thoughts, "you have written many books"... Dolano speaks for herself. 

Note that the questions transcribed below only give a clue about the tracks, because Dolano often answers the assumptions behind a question rather than the question itself.

How did enlightenment happen to you?

Question: 

Could you talk about how you got enlightened? 

I read that in old times masters chose disciples carefully, and that the aura of the master supported the disciple's growth. I would like to know how it is with you.

Why does staying in a state of no-thought take so much effort?

​

Many interesting questions

In this Satsang recording there are many questions asked by seekers. We have found these questions very interesting and beneficial.

No one here

Question:

"I've been listening to your open satsang tapes for months, and I've heard all of them three of four times now. The question that I have is that you say there is no "I", and there is no one here, there is no one home. So who showed up here, if this is true? Who or what is having all of these thoughts and these feelings and this experience? If there is nobody home, who is doing this?"

The last Satsang is the last effort

Dolano: 
"Humans are meant to awaken, for that reason any circumstance can be a wake up call…"

"Yes you can’t believe the good news, they are too good to be true... An opportunity for you to awaken, truly awaken…"

"On the spiritual path you are busy with not doing, but I say to you the Last Satsang is the Last effort, then after that there is no more a question of doing or not doing and not even a question of no effort. Your mind is freed…"  

Addicted to intense emotions

Question:

"I feel that over the years I've become addicted to intense emotions: adrenaline, excitement. I hear a lot about letting go, about being in the moment, etcaetera. And I feel that part of me feeling really alive is feeling quite "adrenalized", whether it's making love or jumping out of an aeroplane, whatever. But my body seems to have a huge kind of need for this rush, and I want to believe that I can still be very present and awakened and still have this intensity in my life, because it feel so good!"

​

Dolano, what is your teaching?

A seeker persistently asks Dolano what her "teaching" is. A very helpful short tape that clears a lot of misunderstandings about what Dolano is doing. Guest appearances by Ramesh and Krishnamurti :)

Instant intimacy and no separation

Question:

Instant intimacy. "I'm wondering how the state of enlightenment affects relationships with other people". 

Question: 

Never separate. "I think I had the wrong perception of an enlightened state of being being separate from everyone, but it sounds like you actually feel more connected..." 

​

Free of fear

Question:

"When I feel that meditation is deepening, I feel sometimes as if I'm coming close to death, and I encounter fear. Then the fear stops the meditation."

​

The play of leela

Question:

"Recently I developed this acceptance for myself. And then I feel my mind is not as sharp as before, I don't analyze that much anymore. How can I face real life when I accept everything?"

Satori 

Question:

"I had an experience when I felt like I disappeared. There was no 'me', no outside. In this moment I was feeling so light, so in tune with everything. There was no more time, no more future, no more past. Usually I'm not aware of this. What is this experience?"

Dolano talks about meditation, protecting nature, innocence and animals' right to live.

Question: After liberation of mind can we use the mind sufficiently ?

​

What is the meaning of spontaneous answers. Sometime I am lost and I don’t know if I should listen to myself or if I should listen to others. What is the true nature of the mind? What is the function of the mind besides worrying? And more…”

I don’t really understand the point of waking up

Question: 

"Hi Dolano, I have been attending your Open Satsang for the last 3 years. I come regularly but I have not been able to make a decision about the Intensive Satsang. I keep thinking about it but I am not able to make a decision. Deep down I fear that I will lose something and I don’t know what. 

So, that fear is holding me back. I don’t know how to get the courage… That is my question."

What is that churning in my stomach?

Couples in constant conflict

Question: I would like to know what would you offer for couples that are in conflict, in constant conflict from a spiritual point of view.

About trust and fear

Question:

"Since I’m on the path I always lived with a big lack of love inside and I did many groups, many therapies. But still this big hole is here inside me and I feel that the key would be trusting in silence just to sit there and trust in the silent space that sometimes I felt inside.

But there are many moments in my life that the emotion is pushing so much, this big hole, this big lack of love, is pushing so much and I go like in shock, in a panic and it’s very difficult to sit and trust in the silence.

My question is, even if sometimes I felt the silence and the trust why is it so difficult to use this key inside me, the key of trusting?"

​

Listen to Dolano's answers to this and other questions.

There is no "In", no "Out"

Question:  

"I have a question about silence. I've been listening to your Satsangs, and as far as I understand, you talk about silence as silence on the inside. Because I'm a bit confused about silence on the outside and on the inside. I love both, I love to meditate, but I also love the silence on the outside."

​

To know who am I is not enough

Dolano:

"To know who am I is not enough; if mind is not liberated there will be only arrogance." 

Guidance - Where do answers come from?

Question:

"When I don't know an answer, sometimes I feel that answers come to me from outside: either through synchronicity, through people, or when I do tarot, or through numbers... I feel that it helps me, but on the other hand there's a thin line between imagination and really tapping into guidance. What is your perspective on that?"

Beyond feeling good or bad
