Steal one second out of eighty years

Steal one second out of eighty years
of your life and use it to face your own Self.
You can keep the other
seventy-nine years,
eleven months,
twenty-nine days,
and all the minutes
and seconds except this one.
This one second will be enough to
glimpse your own Self.

Don’t become anything.
Even enlightenment is becoming something.
Be as you are. Don’t label yourself.
Don’t be any brand.
What brand can there be for the Self,
which has no name and no form!

Millions of years have passed.

Beauty, Love and Peace.

This instant, stop!

This instant, stop!
Look now! Here!
And perhaps everything will be revealed.

you postpone it.

Don’t postpone another moment.

You need a guru without just to tell you:
‘I am within you.’
The Guru is formless within you and
you are also formless.
If you know this you don’t need a Guru with a body.
If you are fortunate enough to find a teacher with
a body do not miss the chance!

Postponement is the mind.

Postponement is the mind.
Mind is the past.
Mind is manifestation.
Manifestation is samsara.
And samsara is suffering.
You have to choose and decide what you want,
and you have to choose in this instant of time,
not later on.
In this instant look at your own Self.
If you allow this moment to slip away, it will
become the past, don’t allow it to slip.

– H.W.L. Poonja-PAPAJI

When you have rested the outgoing tendencies
of the mind then satsang will take place.
Instant of an instant will be enough for you
to realize your own Self.

Stay quiet.
Something else is going to take charge of you.
Keep quiet for some time and it will reveal Itself.
This is my advice.
