Aile

“All desires actually end in freedom. Your desire is fulfilled and you are empty. The emptiness brings you happiness, but it is unconscious. You attribute your happiness to a possession, not the emptiness. It is the freedom from desire that gives you happiness.”
― H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“The light is there and if you only half open your eyes, you will not see the sun.
The sun is always there and does not turn its back on the earth.
The earth turns her back to the sun and the result is night.
There is no night or levels in the sun.
Your own light and wisdom waits for you, but you have been postponing it.”
― H.W.L. Poonja, The Truth Is

“The enchantment of being here at all, alive and aware, is a gift too often considered a problem.

Simply feeling the aliveness—the unique suchness—of each never-to-be-repeated moment outshines completely the desire for power, or pleasure, or meaning—outshines those desires in my world at least.

When actually engaged in this aliveness without trying to explain it (as if it ever could be explained), questions such as “What does it all mean?” or “Who am I?” never even arise. The aliveness is the meaning.”
― Robert Saltzman, The Ten Thousand Things

“If you practice, you will only become fatigued. When you are fatigued, you throw away everything. At that instant, you are free. To get rid of everything is freedom. Everything that you do suggests "Get rid of me." To get rid of desires is freedom, freedom from the function of the mind.”
― H.W.L. Poonja, Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1
