Who is journeying for freedom? The one who is already free. Thoughts are impediments to seeing your own face. Don't give rise to any thought, and discover who you are.

More quotes by H. W. L. Poonja
Reality is everywhere, and to find It 'you' must first disappear.
H. W. L. Poonja
Whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stay. What goes, let it go.
H. W. L. Poonja
Your nature is to keep quiet. You came from silence and you have to return to silence... you are dancing only for a little while you see... a little while you are dancing.
H. W. L. Poonja
Stay quiet and the noisy surface dialogues will cease. Then the substratum will rise up to the top. It is simple. Follow this.
H. W. L. Poonja
If you see the illusion you are enlightened, but if you think that you are enlightened you are in the illusion!
H. W. L. Poonja
Something is happening because of silence, because of peace, because of silence if your mind is silent, if your mind is quiet, there is God, there is silence, this is the silence that is contagious.
H. W. L. Poonja
The one who follows the thought is also a thought! The one who follows the thought IS in thought. When you know that both are thoughts, you are home. You are not at home, you ARE home. Then allow thoughts to arise and allow them to be followed. You remain as That unmoved and unconcerned Being. This is the highest understanding.
H. W. L. Poonja
Know that what appears to be Love for an 'other' is really Love of Self because 'other' doesn't exist. So this innermost Love can be given to no 'other'. Love of friends is for the sake of Self, not for body to body. True love has no Lover or Beloved because all Love is Love of Self.
H. W. L. Poonja
Always remember: The thieves of Peace are thieves in an empty house because only imagination suffers. You are Peace, that which remains Untouched.
H. W. L. Poonja
Look after everybody So that they are happy to see you. It is better to serve the devotee of god than to serve god himself.
H. W. L. Poonja
All that you are attached to, all that you love, all that you know, someday will be gone. Knowing this, and that the world is your mind which you create, play in, and suffer from, is known as discrimination. Discriminate between the Real and the Unreal, the known is unreal and will come and go so stay with the Unknown, the Unchanging, the Truth.
H. W. L. Poonja
If there is peace in your mind you will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated you will find agitation everywhere. So first find peace within and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else. You are this peace!
H. W. L. Poonja
You are all lions – so go your own way. Do not walk the beaten path like sheep, one after another. Do not follow any path. Lions do not follow each other like sheep.
H. W. L. Poonja
Look within, There is no difference between yourself, Self and Guru. You are always Free. There is no teacher, there is no student, there is no teaching.
H. W. L. Poonja
If you don't know, then it's all right. There need not be any expectations. If there are no expectations, then you are free. If you expect, then you are in bondage. Choose whatever you want. Expectations are never fulfilled.
