“ The purpose of life is to be at peace, To love all beings, and know who you are. Know your Self and you know everything. ”
“ Let your will burn in this fire so that it takes you nowhere else. Let your self be burned in this fire of eternity, love and peace. Don't be afraid of this fire, it is love itself. This desire for freedom is the fire of love ! ”
“ Meditation is to effortlessly turn the mind toward that energy which energizes mind. ”
" Truth Is " ... " Wake Up And Roar " ... " Wake Up And Roar: Satsang With H. W. L. Poonja: 2 " ... " This: Prose And Poetry Of Dancing Emptiness " ... " Papaji: Interviews " ... " Journal "
At the age of eight, H. W. L. Poonja experienced an unusual state of consciousness: The experience was so overwhelming it had effectively paralysed his ability to respond to any external stimuli. For about an hour they tried everything they could think of to bring him back to a normal state of consciousness, but all their attempts failed. He was persuaded by his mother that he could regain this experience by devotion to the Hindu God Krishna, and so he gave himself over to this and began to have visions of Krishna.
As an adult he led a normal life: he married, raised two children and joined the British army, while secretly his love for Krishna and his visions continued. He became obsessed with a longing to have the experience of seeing God all the time. He continuously repeated Krishna's name (japa) and traveled throughout India asking sages if they could deliver the ability to produce the darshan of God at will. After all his attempts had failed he returned to his family in Lyallpur. Poonjaji travelled to Tiruvannamalai to meet the sage Ramana Maharshi at Ramanashramam at Arunachala.
He found that he could no longer bring his mind to think of God, do japa or any other spiritual practice. He asked Ramana for help and was told that this was not a problem, that all his practice had carried him to this moment and it could be left behind now because it had served its purpose. When telling Ramana about the story of his search of the Self; Then Ramana looked at him intently. He could feel that his whole body and mind were being washed with waves of purity. They were being purified by his silent gaze. He could feel him looking intently into his Heart. Under that spellbinding gaze he felt every atom of his body being purified. It was as if a new body were being created for him. A process of transformation was going on—the old body was dying, atom by atom, and a new body was being created in its place. Then, suddenly, he understood. He knew that this man who had spoken to him was, in reality, what he already was, what he had always been. There was a sudden impact of recognition as he became aware of the Self.
After his transformation he stayed in southern India until 1947, when during the partition of India, despite Poonjaji's fierce longing to stay with his master, Ramana sent him to his old home in the Punjab (then in the new country of Pakistan) to bring his family to the safety of Lucknow, India. Ramana's last words to him were: “I am with you wherever you go.”
In the following years Poonja earned money to support his family, meeting with seekers and sharing satsangs. In 1953 he met his first Western disciple, Henri Le Saux, also known as Swami Abhishiktananda, who wrote many books on Advaita Vedanta and Christianity. In 1966 he retired and spent a lot of time in the Himalayan foothills. David Godman moved to Lucknow in 1992, and stayed with him till 1997, and soon became his biographer, in the following years edited and published a number of books on him, including, Papaji Interviews, an anthology of interviews, and Nothing Ever Happened, a three volume 1,200-page biography.
His teaching emphasizes that words can only point to ultimate truth, but never are ultimate truth, and that intellectual understanding without directly realizing the truth through one's own investigation is not enough. Like Sri Ramana he stressed that teaching through silence was more important than teaching through words.
