Master's Quotes
If you give up all practices, what will happen?
If you have unloaded all the dharmas, you
are absolutely naked.
When you are naked you will jump into the ocean,
never to return.

All of this is Emptiness.
You just play the game of the dancer in it
and let this game be played.

as CONSCIOUSNESS.
One is impermanence, one is eternal.

To make an effort,
even to meditate,
you must have a preconceived idea
or object in your mind.
I tell you: ‘Take away the object and see what remains’.
To do this you have to stay as you are.
You are already This.
You don’t need to do anything to reach it
or attain it.
– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
Being is Being.
There is no witness and not witnessed.
After letting go of the object do not hold
onto the subject either.
Let go.
Be quiet.
– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI

– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
Accept what comes. Reject what goes.
If there is an ocean, there must be waves.
These waves are samsara. Ocean is nirvana.

– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
Wake up! Wake up!
Your house is on fire from all directions.
What is waking up?

with the Self, for the Self.
Self is untouched. Immaculate. Free.

Duality does not exist when you return
to your Heart.
And this Heart is another name for Truth, Reality, Freedom.
Look within.
Approach with all devotion.
This is the teacher and this is the teaching.
Stay as your Heart. That’s all. Stay as your Heart.
– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
When the ‘I’ rises, mind rises,
senses rise, the world rises.
First find out where the ‘I’ rises from
and then tell me if you are not Quiet.
– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI
Look into and recognize yourself within this instant.
You don’t need a long program
spread over years to
to recognize this freedom.
You are already free.
It is only recognition that isn’t here,
you are postponing it.
You must recognize your own nature, Here and Now.
