Papaji - Sri H.L. Poonja Quotes

The Silence that I speak about is neither meditating nor sitting quiet.

Stillness of mind comes from giving up all attachments except that attachment to Self.
When the mind is quiet, all is Self.
When mind moves the world arises, so be still, throw away everything, and be free.
Self is what you are. You are That Fathomlessness in which experience and concepts appear. Self is the Moment that has no coming or going. It is the Heart, Atman, Emptiness. It shines to Itself, by Itself, in Itself.
Self is what gives breath to Life. You need not search for It, It is Here. You are That through which you would search. You are what you are looking for! And That is All it is.
You are the unchangeable Awareness in which all activity takes place.
