“We have been comfortable in limitation, so we don't touch limitedness. When someone imposes limitedness on us, we readily agree. Anything you desire to achieve is limitation. And you don't have to desire limitlessness, because that you already are.
You make frontiers. The idea, 'I need freedom', constructs a wall between you and freedom. Remove the concept that there is a wall between you and freedom and what happens? This wall is imagination. You don't have to remove the rubbish of the wall. What happens if you remove this wall, which does not even exist?”
― Wake Up and Roar: Satsang With H.W.L. Poonja, Vol. 1

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“As the lotus does not touch the water
so do not let the world enter your heart..
Being busy in the world is no trouble,
unless you are troubled being busy,
then the only trouble is the trouble..
Ocean does not complain about the dance of ten million waves!
so don't be concerned with the rise and fall of thoughts..
Keeping an old troublesome habit
is like keeping poisonous snakes in your arms.
Now is the time to hold this snake and throw it out..
Bad moods are either past or imaginary future,
in the Present there are no moods at all..
Moods belong to the circumstance, to the past;
face the Sun and there will be no shadow of the moods..
The world is like a tail of dog, it's nature is to curl.
The best you can do is stay Quiet
and not let anything bother you..
Visitors will come and go, don't interfere with these waves..
Just be silent..”
