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.”

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.

Question :
What do you mean by the 'Last Satsang' ?
Why is there so much suffering in the world ?
​
Listen to Dolano's answers to these and other questions.
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!"

Instant intimacy and no separation
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..."

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?"

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."
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?"
​

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."

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?"

Close to truth is still far away
Question:
"Is there something to help clean the emotion body? Yesterday, my emotion body had so much emotion and crying, because something touched me very deeply. After I felt very quiet, no story, no drama. I don't feel pain. I'm very WOW."

People that are frustrated with the path
Question:
"I’m sick and tired of everything - enlightenment, meditation. I find myself recently going back into ego a lot more and still being unsatisfied with that. It’s just… I don’t know where I am…"

Beyond feeling good or bad
Question:
"I'm doing Vipassana meditation daily in the morning for 25 to thirty minutes. One day we feel very nice, the next day somebody says something to us, we're disturbed. After one or two days, again we feel very nice. Why is this going on?"
